My Soul Keeper by Ker Dukey

What if your entire reality changed on you one day?
You wake up and your family and friends aren't who you thought they were.
You look around, and the world isn't what you thought it was.
You don't even recognize yourself.
You and your reality are a complete mystery to you.

Simone's life was about to undergo that disturbing journey.
Love, lust, death, betrayal.

How do you fight the devil himself when he consumes you with lust?

How can you love someone who has come to take back your brother’s soul?

Shamar, soul keeper and son of Death, had never met such a unique soul before Simone. Captivated by her, he broke all rules to be near her -- to love and protect her. But how do you protect someone from evil when the forces of good seem to be working against you?

When Lucifer himself crawled from Hell to claim Simone, what sacrifices would Shamar make to keep her safe?

"Never look down Simone, only up"

3 stars

Simone was your typical 18 year old girl living the typical teenage life. Her only concerns were her high school classes, her best friends (Leah and Liam), and her boyfriend, Jacob. She's a good daughter, who helps her mom take care of her new baby brother. Her biggest problem was figuring out what to wear to prom. And then her reality takes a hit and outside forces change life as she knows it. A band of intriguing characters introduced her to love, family, and bitter betrayal. Through it all, Shamar is her rock. He's always there and their love just might be the thing that beats back the evil trying to pervade her existence.

This book had so much going on and so many people...
❥ Shamar - he's the keeper of souls. He has the unique job of giving and taking life, being the son of Death himself. In his long life, he's never been affected by anyone the way he's been affected by Simone. Her beauty, her grace, her purity draw him in like a moth to a flame. Even learning she's destined for someone else can't stop him. He's unable to stay away and his every interaction with her only makes him love her more.
❥ Dark Angels - they were responsible for the souls that belong to down below. Their leader has plans for Simone and it's up to her and her allies to defeat him.
❥ Angels - they seem to be stoic, hands-off beings who try to manipulate events to their own advantage. I'm still not sure if they are friend or foe.
❥ Others - Simone, Shamar and Lucas were unaware of their true connections and I actually liked the way the author developed this as part of the story. It only made their link stronger and further appealed them to me.

This story was unlike anything else I've read from this author. While it wasn't my favorite, it was most definitely worthwhile.
