Praise for THE SHADOW
SOUL
The writing is
flawless. The story and plot line, and plot twists, had me captivated and
enamored for the first words. I couldn’t put this book down for anything, and I
absolutely cannot wait for book two. The world building is amazing. I feel like
I can feel the spirits when Jin speaks of them. And I can feel the fire on my
skin like Rhen. And the secondary characters are just as great as the main
characters…It’s an amazing start to a new series that is going to have people
of all ages wanting so much more. - Happy Tails and Tales
I
loved the characters. Jinji is an amazing girl of such strength. Reading about
her sometimes brought tears to my eyes because I couldn’t help but love her
from the beginning. And Rhen, even though I was suspecting him of treachery he
didn’t fail to be surprising at every turn… I can’t wait to find out what
happens next!" – Creating Serenity
Praise for KAITLYN
DAVIS
Kaitlyn Davis writes
some of the best action scenes I have come across in a young adult book; they
are fast paced and so well delivered. – Reflections of a Bookworm
I really enjoyed Ms
Davis's writing, I was riveted throughout and was eager to see what would
happen - there was drama, danger, action and romance that was wonderfully
detailed and described. – Obsession with Books

Character Interview – Jinji
Please welcome Jinji, the
female protagonist of The Shadow Soul
who has come all the way from her fantastical world to speak with us today!
Me: Thank you so much
for stopping by.
Jinji: You’re welcome. It’s a relief actually.
A relief? Why is that?
Well, it’s Rhen. At first, I thought traveling with him
would be the only solution, but now I’m not so sure. He’s getting too
suspicious, asking too many questions. It’s like he knows I’m keeping a
secret…well, secrets…
What secrets?
[Jinji looks around
nervously. Her short black hair barely moves, but her eyes flick around the
room, almost as though she fears we’re not alone. She leans in, whispers.]
He doesn’t know I’m a girl. He doesn’t know about my powers.
He doesn’t know about the shadow. He doesn’t…
[She shakes her head,
biting her lip and tucking her knees into her chest, curling into a tight ball.
Nerves have clenched her body, have halted her midthought. A darkness seems to
seep into her vision. A sadness removes the golden light from her eyes. I reach
out my hand in comfort, but she retreats.]
Are you all right?
I just miss them. Miss it. Home. The trees. My family.
Why did you leave?
[The grief thickens,
haunting her eyes, scrunching her forehead. She looks away, pausing, reading
memories in the air. Suddenly she looks up, straight into my eyes with a hard
look, a calculated stare.]
Vengeance.
Against who? For what?
[She shakes her head,
standing, walking away from me and looking at the door. She is small, but I
sense strength and determination in her stance.]
I must leave. I’m sorry.
Wait—
[But she is gone.
Panic hangs heavy in the air behind her.]
