Our Souls to Keep (Our Souls to Keep #1)

by Gary Caruso

Overview

After seventeen-year-old Wake Reynolds agrees to sacrifice his soul to protect his suicidal mother from the fiery tortures of Hell, Satan strips him of his humanity and forces him to become a demonic collector of souls. With no memory of his human existence, Wake spends years in loyal service�but something within him is changing. His stolen human emotions are beginning to return.

As Wake struggles to keep his new sensations hidden, Satan orders him to corrupt the soul of a pregnant girl, Annemarie. Beautiful, gentle Annemarie. From the moment Wake sees her, she brings lightness to his blackened heart, dampening his loneliness, fueling his passion. If he chooses to defy Satan and spare the lives of Annemarie and her unborn child, his mother�s soul will writhe in Hell�s deepest pit for eternity. Annemarie or his mother? It�s a choice no one should have to make.

Editorial Reviews

Throughout the book, I kept noticing that it didn't follow convention. No, it went in so many directions I hadn't seen before in YA novels. If you�re looking for a happy tale where boy eventually wins girl of his dreams, falls in love, and lives happily ever after, this isn't for you. If you want something brutally powerful, and at times, heart wrenching, then read this book.

Goodreads - Marvin Amazon

Caruso...seemlessly forges a world in which the natural and supernatural, and the divine and devilsh, coexist convincingly.
