Book review: Souls Astray by Kellyn Roth

Souls Astray by Kellyn Roth

I honestly jumped at the chance to be part of Kellyn’s blog tour just so I could read another of her stories early!  So far I’ve enjoyed everything of hers that I’ve read, so I knew I was in for a treat with her newest release.

I didn’t stop for a thing except work while reading this story!  It’s very easy to flip from page to page and is so well written,  I slipped into the story world and didn’t want to come out even while the characters were enduring so much.

I knew going in that there was some sad stuff in the story.  I found that Kellyn did her level best to make me cry over these characters and their troubles!  I never cry in stories but I was tearing up a bit for these.

Adele really isn’t the most sympathetic character ever in her actions, but she was so well portrayed as a hurting soul herself that I didn’t find it hard to hurt for her and excuse her for her problems.  That’s with a caviat, of course, that she will learn the error of her ways in a later book in the series!

Troy....ah, Troy.  Wee bit of a hothead, I think.  Plenty of his own issues to work through even while trying his best to do what’s right.  Troy has some growing ahead as well!

The side characters were colorful and interesting in their own ways and I hated to say goodbye to most of them.  I loved Lola and Millie in particular and couldn’t stand Adele’s mother.

I can’t wait to see what happens next and am so happy that I can read the next book soon!
