Review of Soul Seeker
[Following is a volunteer review of "Soul Seeker" by Kaylin McFarren.]
Hell’s Kitchen finally returns with Ben next week, while Soul Seeker by Kaylin McFarren tells the reader about Benjamin Poe’s sorrowful past. He shares the narration of being controlled by a possessive demon that made him commit an atrocious act that saw him incarcerated, thus straying from his family. Benjamin feels completely guilty and frustrated; he thinks that there is no escape, and he makes a terrible plan. This is just one of the many souls that the demon Crighton has twisted over the prospect of getting paid for his sins by Lucifer. Though all that is provided to Crighton by Lucifer has its price, he will have to pay for it in the future.
The novel is initiated by the main character, Benjamin Poe, a man on death row in prison, telling his lawyer the truth about the crime related to the demon Crighton, who harvests souls. In the second part of the story, after Poe’s death, the man continues working for the devil—or Satan, in our case—when he is duped and subsequently arrested by a team of scientists from the Sovereign Sector. These scientists investigate supernatural entities and imprison Crighton with an angel whose soul was intended for him to trap Lucifer and get both of them into soulmates. This triggers a series of events where Crighton is caught in the battle and becomes the subject of Lucifer’s rage as the players switch sides and the buried truths come to light.
As beautifully merged key genres of fantasy, mystery, romance, and suspense in a well-coordinated pattern, Soul Seeker by Kaylin McFarren is excellent. Combined together, tricks of the trade help the author fulfill all the elements so that the reader gets the movie feel. The plot, the characters’ interactions, and the progression of events are fluid and interesting in Hell or in Heaven. Even though I ordinarily do not read romantic novels, I enjoyed reading this book from the start to the end without feeling a single bore.
There was nothing I personally could point a finger at and say I did not like about this novel. This is a two-part story, and the villain of the first section becomes the hero of the second section, which was a nice twist for me. This didn’t trigger any confusion, and I liked it.
The book is very well edited, and there are no evident grammar mistakes. I will rate it 5 out of 5 stars because I think that’s a perfect score. I want to suggest this book to those readers who are interested in the religious perspective and are not afraid of touching on second thoughts regarding the more traditional concepts.
