I love when I pick up a book by an author I have never read before, and suddenly that author is at the top of my must read pile!!!! Kate Grace is on that list!!

About the book (from the publisher):

Clara never asked to be special. She was perfectly happy e-stalking her crush’s blog, avoiding the attention of the Bronze Brigade clique at school, awaiting the next visit from her avant-garde Aunt Grace, and dreaming of a strange young man … who feels too real to be only a dream. But then her world literally separates at the seams, as a blinding light rips her mother away right before her eyes. In one, inexplicable moment, Clara loses the life and family she had known and is thrown into a transcendental battle being fought between Fallen Souls and Guardians. The Guardians have protected her from the shadows while waiting for her to awaken and remember a promise she made in another world. When Clara learns what is expected of her, and the price she must pay to restore order, she can only hope that the still dormant ancient soul that lives inside of her is truly fighting on the side of Good. Burden of the Soul grapples not only with the battle between Good and Evil, and Action and Complacency, but pits its unlikely heroine squarely against herself. Half of Clara is an ancient soul who made a promise to fight a war, the other half is an adolescent girl who never asked to be special.

Burden of the Soul is the first in a series. Book 2 is due to release in late 2012.

My thoughts on the book:

I must start by just saying WOW!!!!! I read a lot of paranormal and urban fantasy type books, but have never read a book quite like Burden of the Soul!!

Kate Grace has created a fantastic and very well fleshed out world of Guardians and Fallen Souls, engaged in an epic battle of good versus evil. The heroine in this story is very easy to relate to, and is a step up from many of the annoying and whiny YA heroines I have read lately.

I for one can NOT wait for book two in this series!!! Grab a copy of Burden of the Soul today, and be prepared to get lost in an amazing story!!!
