Rachel Carrington
Synopsis from Amazon:
On the
fifth anniversary of my murder, I took action against inaction. I set out to
find what I wanted the most—revenge. Others warned me that the whole project
could be risky, but getting even with my killer husband seemed worth the
danger. Turned out, I made an appointment with the Angel of Death. Perfect.
I've always had a weak spot for bad-boy, rocker types but Gabriel the bad-boy angel surpassed my fantasies. He looked like Bon Jovi in his long hair days, which destroyed my ability to concentrate. Plus, he claimed he could help me only if I trusted him. The last man I put my faith in shot a bullet through my heart. How the heck could I trust the Angel of Death?
So anyway, I told Gabriel that I needed retribution before I could move on. He granted me three days in a mortal body to gain closure. Great offer except for one thing—my dear husband had already been found not guilty so he couldn't be tried again. No hope of ever putting him behind bars…at least not for shooting me. I also had no idea where the loser had dumped my body. How was I supposed to get vengeance?
After that, things got really complicated. I had to find dirt on my jerk of a husband while placing my faith in the Angel of Death and ignoring the forbidden things he did to my phantom heart and loaner body. Yeah, the whole situation sounded weird to me, too, but what was a misplaced spirit to do except roll with it?

My Review:
While I
feel that the feelings between Gabriel and Olivia grew extremely fast, I
enjoyed the story that Rachel Carrington creates for her readers. From the
beginning, I had hoped for the outcome of the end and was glad that I was close
to what really happened. The plot of the story is not overused like vampires
falling in love with humans have been lately, and was interested through the
whole story. I also read this novella within two sittings, before and after
work never really wanting to stop. The only downfall for this story is that it
is only a novella, and I hope that Rachel Carrington will one day go into their
future. I am not sure what the other novellas in the series are about, but I am
hoping Olivia and Gabriel will at least be mentioned within the next story.
Share Your Soul was an easy read, and I would recommend to others. My rating
for this book is 4 stars.
