Tortured Souls (Orion Circle #1)
Release Date: July 2014
Summary from Goodreads:
Sometimes Rest in Peace isn't an option.
Kacie Ramsey sees ghosts—and it's ruining her life. Her mother left, her father blames her, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't keep the ghosts away. Now a new power has emerged. Nightly visions of grisly murders and a relentless predator draw her to the brink of insanity.
When the phantom appears at a party, Kacie's longtime crush, Logan, saves her. He invites her to join the Orion Circle, a group of supernatural hunters with chapters in schools all over the country. Through the Circle, Kacie learns to embrace her spiritual powers, and for the first time in her life she feels in control rather than a victim.
But the Foxblood Demon will not give up so easily. A demented serial killer in life who trapped the souls of the thirteen children he murdered, imprisoning them within the walls of his mansion. Now in death, he plots his return while drawing power from the pure souls of the children. He recognizes something in Kacie he's never seen before—a medium powerful enough to provide a vessel for his tainted soul.
Kacie can't ignore the tortured souls of the children crying out to her every night. With Logan at her side, she will fight the Foxblood Demon. But can they banish this powerful phantom, or will Kacie lose not only her body, but her eternal soul to the monster.

This book looks wonderful! I need to get my hands on it.
ReplyDeleteIf I could have any psychic powers, it would be to read minds. I would love the power to be able to tell if someone's lying to me.
Oh yeah, THAT would be awesome, I agree! Right?? The cover is so pretty. *.* Hope you'll like it when you'll read it, Aneta.
DeleteSounds like an awesome one Lola!! I'm gonna have to add this to my ever growing TBR list haha!
ReplyDeleteI always loved stuff with ghosts. I don't know if you've ever watched Ghost Whisperer? My mom and I used to watch it all the time. Yeeaah, TBR lists are ALWAYS growing, it's crazy!
DeleteThis book sounds really good. A power I would love to have is Telekinesis. Because I would be able to organize my book shelf with out moving! :)
ReplyDeleteHahahhaha, that's such an original reason!! And true. PLUS, you can have so much fun with that power.
DeleteI'm going with Amber on the telekinesis thing. It would make housecleaning a snap! Thanks for posting the Tortured Souls blitz!
ReplyDeleteMmhh, yeah, but at the same time it would still be boring and long coz you have to concentrate I guess and keep in sight what you're doing. Or not? :P It was a pleasure.
DeleteThis looks and sounds so interesting! If I was psychic I would love to see people's auras to know if they were good or bad right off the bat. I wouldn't want to read minds because I think in the end, that could be hurtful and I think people's thoughts should be their own.
ReplyDeleteIf I had any psychic ability I want to be able to know if someone is lying.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this book, Lola. It seems like a book I'd enjoy. If I had a psychic ability, I would love to have a power that lets me know emotions or history through touch and be able to remember it all. For example, if I'm going to take an exam, all I have to do is touch the paper and I'll know all the answers. Lol.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds amazing! Definitely adding it to my TBR pile!!
ReplyDeleteIf I had a super power it would be that of healing, because, well, how cool would that be! (Me being a nurse and all ;))
to read minds
