EARLY PRAISE FOR FORBIDDEN: THE SOULKEEPERS

Forbidden The Soulkeepers by Lori Adams

I received Forbidden The Soulkeepers as an ARC. I would like to thank Miss Adams and Random House Publishing Group for this opportunity.
Forbidden is a story of a teenage girl, Sophia, the daughter of a pastor who has recently lost her mother. She and her father do not have much of a relationship. The story opens with Sophia and her father on the road as they move to a new town for her father to start a new job. Sophia quickly learns the difference between a small town and a large city: everyone knows who she before she even meets them. In the course of the story Sophia meets guardian angels and demons. She is torn between an angel and a demon. She learns that there is more to her than she could ever imagine.
While this story started out slow for about the first 25% of the book, I really enjoyed this story! The slow part of the book is necessary to understand what the story is all about. I had a hard time putting this book down I found myself rooting for the good guys, but intrigued by the bad guys. I found myself wanting to delve into the next book in the series the minute I finished this one.

I was pleasantly surprised that the author did not get even a little preachy with her story. With a book about angels where one of the characters is a preacher, it would have been very easy to incorporate morals and scripture into the storyline. But Miss Adams was all about the fiction. I look forward to finishing this series!

The release date for FORBIDDEN . . .

 

 

is approaching–APRIL 15th–so I thought I would start posting some #earlyreviews now. Needless to say, this is my debut novel, and I’m just a little bit excited.

 

Right now, I am drawing from two sources where honest reviews are posted: Wattpad and Goodreads.

 

The original version of Forbidden was simply named Soulkeepers and posted on wattpad.

 

This writing hub was a wonderful way to connect with writers and readers who love books. It was my first time to introduce my work and my characters to readers, and I’m so happy that I did. Wattpaders are very helpful with their insightful comments as well as being extremely generous with their time.

I’m very active on Goodreads and invite any book lovers to stop by. It’s a great place to connect with your favorite authors and to discover new books through recommendations. Reviews for Forbidden found on Goodreads come from advance copies provided by publishers to #Netgalley  ‘in exchange for an honest review’. And yes, they are honest! NetGalley reviewers have a lot of books to choose from, and I really appreciate their time and effort when choosing Forbidden.

Forbidden takes place in Haven Hurst, a small fictitious town in gorgeous Connecticut.
