Book 1 of 1: Black Souls

See all formats and editions

They say blood is thicker than water, but I was never proud of mine. A female born into the Kamlock bloodline was destined to possess three things they couldn’t change—a crazy as hell mother, an unfair amount of beauty, and a Charmed soul that was as black as night.
All a Kamlock woman ever desired in life was to use her beauty to destroy wealthy men and take their riches. A century had passed since a generation of Kamlock sisters had been anything other than gold diggers.
All I ever wanted was to be free of them. I knew I couldn’t change my cursed birth, but I could change its legacy. I had a job, I had friends, and I was slowly gaining my independence.
Until Rathe Scott crashed into my life and tore it apart.
He made me feel what I had spent my entire life never wanting to feel. He brought out a darkness I’d not known was inside me. And just when I thought I was becoming everything I had sworn I would never become…
He was gone.

Amazing start to an exciting series

Ready for your next Abbi Glines obsession? Gosh this book was so good. Not only is she the queen of romance but she is definitely the queen of paranormal now in my book. What a great story. And this is just the beginning. Catalina is a caster. But she doesn't see herself as evil like her family. She is about to discover how different she truly is. I loved her from the start. She is a strong female who fights to chose good every day. And she had a genuine heart. Enter a new mysterious man name Rathe. Right away I was drawn to how mysterious he was. Also Cat has developed a stalker who is also a mystery. This story kept me on my toes. Then it shocked the heck out of me. I loved where it went and I need more...right now! Paranormal fans need to read this book. Message me, so we can obsess together.

This book was what I expected and then some and by that I mean it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY CAPTIVATING! I may be a little biased seeing as how I have always been a big Abbi Glines fan.❤ My favorite of all her books I’ve read has always been the the Existence Trilogy so when finding out she was stepping back into the paranormal romance world for this one I knew I had to sign up to read this and help promote it. I not only got the ARC copy but bought a copy as well.😁 All of that aside if you’ve read any of her books you will know just how talented of an author she truly is. This story and the characters in it are wonderful and the names are unique.
[ Catalina Kamlock is anything but ordinary no matter how hard she tries to live a normal life with a family like hers it’s impossible. No matter how much she denies being a Kamlock it’s in her blood. Her powers and charm she tries to hide from everyone feels more like a curse. Avoiding her b!tch mother and wicked sisters she works all the time to save up so she can one day live on her own. When her two friends Heath and Margo get a new roommate Cat does what she always does to men who show interest in her but Rathe he’s proving to be different. Rathe is attractive and he knows it from his smell, to his intense steel blue eyes, and that smirk there is no denying it.🔥When he starts worming his way into her life and seeming to know more then most she can’t seem to keep her attraction for him under wraps much longer. With a stranger appearing and things spiraling out of control Cat is realizing everything is not what it seems and there are things she doesn’t know. And it turns out she isn’t the only one with a secret. ]
Once I started reading this story I couldn’t stop. You get hooked in wanting to know more and the next thing you know when some secrets unfold your left at a cliff. Abbi you are a cruel but brilliant woman. 😉 This book has it all: witches and warlocks, friendship, mystery, hot desire/romance, delightful characters and it leaves you wanting more. A must read and hands down the easiest 5 star review I’ve written in a while. 😊

A breathtaking cross-over of The Mortal Instruments, dark Witches of East End and Fallen

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2020

Abbi Glines is back with a phenomenal adult paranormal! She is one of my go-to author, and also the book is .99 and supporting Australia, how can anyone say no?

Catalina is cursed all her life. She accepts, but at the same time, doesn't embrace herself fully. She just wants to be normal. She has a life with just enough happiness from her friends; until her whole world gets turned upside down. She doesn't know her family anymore. She doesn't understand her own ability anymore.

I would say I was not so hooked when I first saw the blurb. I have not been a fan of witchcraft or any other fantasy stuff for the past few years. I don't know what to expect from Abbi, since this is a new experience for her too.

Abbi's blown my mind though! She has a talent for making her books irresistible. Every high and low point of the book is captured perfectly. The story vividly carved inside my heart. I'm aching for Cat, for the pain, for the doubt of herself.

I'm in love with her storytelling. Abbi Glines slowly brings us to this magical world, slowly opens the trapdoor with layers and layers of secrets. Deep down, everyone is only 'human'. We are our own worst judges. It's hard to let anyone in if we aren't even true to ourselves.

"If he was something for me, it had to be the magic in my blood drawing him, not just me."

"I fit in nowhere. I was back to feeling sorry for myself. I didn't do self pity. It was weak and a waste of time."

No one can create characters the way Abbi Glines does. She gives just enough backstory for everyone. I love all the characters. Yes, even the villain. She just has a way with making characters relatable in different perspectives. Everyone is charming and mysterious. 'Specially the main male, but that's for each of you guys to discover.

Family isn't blood. Family is about love and loyalty. The open ending makes me so impatient for the next installment of the series.

Charmed Souls starts a bit slow and I don't think I fully understand all the descriptions being thrown out. There is something off here and there during the book. It's in the adult paranormal genre but the vibes of the book are still debatable. Sometimes it still feels so much like the characters are high school students, with all the drama and parties. She did mention the "mature" side of things but it kind of faded away. And also the swear words. Normally, I'm down with it. But it just feels off this time. Maybe all of those problems got to do with the whole young adult - adult transformations she are experiencing for the first time writing.

I'd say it's a perfect crossover of all my favourite paranormal series. Anyone see The Mortal Instruments right there? With Simon in Heath? Jace in Rathe? Magnus in Duely? Valentine in Diabolus? Forbidden love from Fallen's immortal Lucinda and Daniel? No? Maybe it's just me. I'm not saying this book is unoriginal. It's unique in its own way. Rather than making it black and white, Abbi Glines keep everything grey. Nobody is all bad. Nobody is all good.

"No one wanted to admit it, but every human had a vein of selfishness they didn't want to acknowledge."

Mais uma trilogia que poderia ser um livro só?

Reviewed in Brazil on February 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

Sou fã dos livros da Abbi faz anos (Blair e rush serão sempre meus prediletos) e já fiz duras críticas ao trabalho dela durante esses anos acompanhando suas publicações.
O livro charmed souls é a volta da Abbi escrevendo no mundo paranormal. Achei a história muito boa e com grande potencial, porém não tinha necessidade nenhuma em escrever um livro tão curto que termina com o suspense de sempre.
Acho estratégias de vendas importantes mas a partir do momento que elas começam a prejudicar a qualidade do seu trabalho deve-se ponderar até que ponto levá-las. Essa é a crítica que eu fazia aos livros da Abbi e ainda faço, livros muito curtos divididos em trilogias que poderiam facilmente ser um livro só. A outra crítica que eu fazia aos livros dela que posso felizmente falar que esse aspecto melhorou é o desenvolvimento dos personagens.
Gostei da história desse livro e acho que tem bastante potencial porém gostaria que a personagem principal amadurecesse mais durante os próximos livros pois ela é um pouco ingênua (fato recorrente nas personagens principais dela).
O mundo sobrenatural tem bastante coisa legal para ser explorado e espero ansiosamente o segundo livro para poder ver onde a história será levada.

Excellent- read the book with an open mind - SPOILER ALERTS

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 21, 2020

I am not a massive fan of sci-fi or books about anything sci-fi, unless it is a comic book. However, Abbi Glines you have opened my mind. I am quite spiritual person so it helped it was witches and warlocks. Fantastic read. Again twists you do not see coming! Great writing and excellent portrayal of each individual characters. Ends on a Cliffhanger so I hope there is another book from the Black Souls Series to come soon, itching to find out what happens next.

Truly outstanding PNR new adult romance

Reviewed in Germany on January 6, 2020

This fantastic first installment in the Black Souls Trilogy has absolutely blown my mind. It was utterly addictive and unputdownable. Abbi Glines put me under her magical spell with this PNR new adult mix of friends to lovers and forbidden romance and I'm now totally invested in this intriguing story and charming characters and can't wait to see what this incredibly talented and versatile author has in tow for them in the future.

It's really hard to write a book in this particular genre where you have to do some world building and simultaneously introducing multiple characters and their often complex relationships with each other within only a few pages while keeping the reader's attention. Abbi managed that effortlessly and with great expertise. The story was well-paced, the plot highly entertaining and the characters multi-layered and relatable.

Catalina - Cat - Kamlock was born into a family of powerful witches. The females of this bloodline are known for their ethereal beauty and for being ice-cold, calculating gold diggers. They capitalise on their looks in order to seduce and destroy rich and powerful men. Cat never saw any pride in being a Kamlock. All she ever wanted was to be free of her evil, manipulating mother and sisters. She is the complete opposite of them - caring, humble, protective and good-hearted. Although she never experienced any kind of love coming from her family - except from her cousin Duely - Cat is capable of compassion and sympathy.

Rathe is still a little bit of a mystery to me. He is Catalina's best friends' new roommate and a handsome womanizer. He crashes into her life and turns it on its axis. Cat promised herself to not open her heart to him but she was powerless against his charm. There is something about him that she can't explain but that however speaks to a darker side of her being. And let me tell you guys when these two collide there a sparks flying everywhere. Their instant sizzling chemistry is palpable and will set your reading devices on fire!

This book ends on a huge cliffhanger. I had to pick up my jaw from the floor while processing all the information Abbi threw at us. There are still some mysteries left to solve and truths to be uncovered and I'm so ready for them! I applaud this author for delivering a truly outstanding book and give this new top favorite of mine 5+ stars!
