I got this as a free download for my Kindle and really enjoyed it.
I don't really want to say anything about the plot beyond what is stated in the blurb. Since this is a novella going beyond that would give too much away. I will underline that the main character is a teenager, so I'm assuming this is a start to a YA series. But that didn't detract from me enjoying it as an adult and I thought the teenagers were well-drawn. Not hokey or ridiculous like many teens are portrayed.
My Soul to Lose is really short and is billed as a prequel. So it really only gives a taste to whet your appetite and set the stage. Some people might find that brevity irritating, because no explanations for anything are given. You discover as the story goes along, but don't get any answers about What or Why. That will probably come later in the next release, which I am guessing will be a full length novel.
I found it all to be quite intriguing because of mysteriousness though. The story sucked me in right away and it's written so that you follow along as the events unfold with Kaylee. No background to speak of, no extraneous details, you're just right there with her as she has to deal with her situation, which includes ending up in the mental ward because she reports experiencing things that sound exactly like the symptoms of a schizophrenic.
It was great getting to read this as a free Kindle offer and it has done its job because I plan to buy the book when it is released.
