This free short kindle book was the first I have read of Ms. Vincent's work and I was pleasantly surprised. I tis the story of how a young man gave up his future to save his brother and his new path. It was engaging and the characters were very realistic. I will look for the rest in this series to continue the story.

I'm really starting to like Rachel Vincents little short Novella's. How much more could we love them when it's all about Tod! I had a friend recommend that I read this after I read If I Die and I'm actually quite happy I did. Now it all makes sense as to why Tod and Kaylee truly have some amazing chemistry and I have to admit that reading this short Novella made me feel so much better as to why I shouldn't feel guilty about what happens between her and Nash.

Short and sweet book, short and sweet review.

Oh Tod, how I love you :)

I liked the story, but feel I would have gotten more out of it if I'd read her Soul Screamers series. I'll definitely be checking it out!

The cover:

So this is Tod!! I’m glad I can finally see how my favorite character looks like .

The storyline:

So I was supposed to read this before My Soul To Keep but decided otherwise since It is just a novella and it wouldn’t affect the story of the series. After finishing MStK, I decided that I needed to read this one. I had to know how Tod became who he is in the series.

This novella was short, accurate and good to read. I found a different Tod than the one in the series, acting like a selfish, non-human reaper but I found out why soon enough.

So to not spoil this review, I’ll just say that unlike what Nash says all the time, that he’s brother owes him, in fact, he owes Tod a lot!! You’ll be so shocked to find out!

The characters:

Tod is an awesome brother and Nash is obviously blind not to see that.

Levi, whom I was supposed to guess that he’ll be here, is an awesome dead kid reaper! I’m a fan of him!!! .

Conclusion:

This was a very good quick read from Tod’s point of view. As always, I love Rachel’s writing .

This is a favorite.

Review Taken From The Pewter Wolf

In this special novella, Rachel Vincent writes from Tod's (Nash's older brother) point of view. Now, Tod is a teenager who likes girls, food, sports and tolerate his brother. He has his whole life ahead of him. And with his bean sidhe (aka banshee) heritage, that's gonna last a long time, indeed.

But that was before the car accident happened.

Tod, then, has to make a choice. Life? Death? Or somewhere in the middle?

Now, this is very much a novella for the fans, just like Rachel's other novella, My Soul to Lose. Whereas My Soul To Lose is classed as a prequel to the first novel in the Soul Screamers series, My Soul to Take, this is classed as 3.5 in the series (aka between My Soul To Keep and My Soul To Steal) and this is the perfect place to read this. Even though this does go into Tod's past and there is hints of "this is a prequel!" about it, it answers questions that I am sure readers of the Soul Screamers series want to know...

Now, I haven't read this series and my copy of My Soul To Take (book 1 in the series) is waiting patiently in my To Be Read pile and I do plan on reading this and a few other books by Mira Ink (mostly by my Kindle, I hope!), but I do feel like this was interesting. Maybe this will help get me into the series. It's all about timing... we'll see.
