Soul Sacrifice (The Soul Trilogy)

What a great book. I loved every minute of it. I can't wait to get started on book two of the Soul Trilogy. It kept me captive from the moment I started reading this book. Great job.

It begins with a dream that Cessoline has of a man with deep blue eyes, that she is considerably drawn to. She finds out the man of her dreams is real and a friend of her brother. Thinking that she was tricked, she decides to trick the same man of her dreams, Blake Reeves, by dressing as a spinster to dissuade him from marrying her. Thanks to twists of fate and several helping hands, the adventure begins. This book will keep you guessing, mix in a few twists and turns and you have a great story, spanning several generations and the lives that were altered due to unexpected twists in the tale.

This is the First Book in the Soul Series Trilogy written by Leanore Elliott. This story encompasses parallel lives of Cesso Sommers , a young , spoiled, rich, young girl living on Avondale Plantation in New Orleans, La in 1889 with that of reporter Charlie Sanders living in the year 1989. We learn they are all part of a curse of the Velree on Evangeline.

I love how this book switches back and forth from 1889 where Cesso meets Reeves and 1989 where Charlie meets Ravens.The way the author changes the feel of this book are to her credit as well. Love and the affairs of the heart, in the deep south in 1889 were sensual whispers, eye batting and things left unsaid, where men wanted to tame and control a woman. Cesso is strong willed and is testing Reeves like no other. There relationship is steamy, funny, and tempestuous..

Charlie meets Ravens when they are deliberately brought to Avondale Plantation 100 years later, to hopefully break the curse. They seem to ‘know each other’ and the sexual tension between them is strong. Each woman is different and the same. Cesso hold a fan in her hands like a proper Southern woman should...Charlie holds a cell phone...

Ms Elliott writes of eternal love, frightening curses, murder and love lost.. Book one gives us a glimpse of the tale she expertly will spin. All the players are assembled. We readers need to hang on and go along for this wonderful ride..I expect we will not be disappointed. Thank you Ms Elliott for such a haunting story !

Second Book will be out in September called Soul Betrayal and the last will be Soul Redemption due out in October...
