When Joy wakes up in an alley, she knows three things: she was brutally murdered, she has somehow come back to life ... and she is not alone. She’s been possessed by an inhuman presence, a being that has taken over her dying body. That being is powerful, in pain, and on the run from entities more dangerous than he is.
Shade, a Fae prince on the run, didn’t mean to share the body he jumped into. Desperate and afraid, accused of a murder he didn’t commit, he only sought a place to hide—but if he leaves Joy now, he faces discovery and a fate worse than death.
Forced to work together to solve multiple murders, including her own, Joy and Shade discover hidden strengths and an unlikely friendship. Yet as their souls become increasingly intertwined, they realize their true danger might come from each other … and if they don't find a way to untangle the knot their souls have become, then even the truth won't set them free.
Knot of Souls is a stand-alone buddy love fantasy that forces two very different beings to work together … and come out stronger on the other side.
Okay, moving on...
Right off the bat, we have Joy who is moving, walking, talking, etc. Except...she is dead. Afterlife maybe? Sudden turn into a zombie?? Um no... you see Joy is alive and possessed by someone much older and not human (probably obvious though).
Even worse? She might die a second time if she doesn't figure out how to regain control and drive. Clearly this old ghost can't figure out how to work the car and well dying twice in the same day sure doesn't sound like fun.
Then we learn about Shade, who is a Fae and hiding inside Joy for safety.
All that and we've barely begun to dig into this story, but that's all I needed to be hooked.
Fae, souls, a shared body and one damn additive story. I couldn't put this book down and I was wishing for more!
