After-life just got a lot more complicated Maggie is a Soul Collector.
It’s her job to transport souls from the Living Realm to the After – but during a mission to New England to find a stolen soul, she ends up stuck in a teen mean girl’s body. Trapped, Maggie’s soul is catapulted into Ally’s life – and the human world she hasn’t experienced for one hundred years.
But, as a descendant of the most powerful beings in the After, Maggie must rescue Ally before the girl’s soul dies... To survive, Maggie must uncover devastating secrets – because with one soul taken by a terrifying enemy, Maggie’s could be next!
Soul Taken was a very interesting book. I've read some stories about the after life, and this one was very original and different, almost better in that aspect. Katlyn Duncan wrote a real world and I loved reading about the types of jobs there was and how governmental it was.
Maggie is very prickly in the beginning. I was a bit off as to why, and I didn't like her very much in the beginning, but it quickly became clear as to why she was this way. She's no the same person she was before, as a lot was taken from her. When she goes out to do another-yet different-soul collection, something happens and she ends up inside another girls body. She has no idea why or how, but she goes along with it until someone can fix the problem and bring her back to her own body.
While in this body, Maggie begins to care for people and show emotion more. She's starting to remember how it was like to be a human, and what caring really does to someone. She becomes a more softer version of her earlier self, which I love. It made a lot of character development for her.
Soon, she stumbles into a mystery while inside the body and starts to realize how it surrounds her too. She doesn't know why she's involved, but she is and tries to figure it out. This is where she meets Jackson, and he knows all about her and the past that was taken from her memories. He cares about her and wants her to remember everything they've been through and what happened to her.
The plot of this story is so interesting. I really loved it and am looking forward to read the next to in the series. This is told from Maggie's POV, and ends with a bit of a cliffhanger! I gave it four and a half stars because it was slow in the beginning.
