Her Soul to Take: A Paranormal Dark Academia Romance (Souls Trilogy)

Dive into the heart-stopping intense start to the Souls Trilogy that started a TikTok sensation, this edgy dark paranormal romance—like Buffy but with tons more spice—now featuring special bonus content!

When ghosthunter Rae moves back to rugged Washington state, she doesn’t bargain for a titillating fork-tongued demon and a ritualistic monster cult…


The demon didn't just want my body. He wanted my soul.

Leon: My reputation among magicians is unblemished. Killer, they call me; killing is what I’m best at. One wrong move and you’re dead. Except her. The one I was supposed to take, the one I should have killed. The cult that once controlled me wants her, but I’m not about to lose my new toy to them.

Rae: I’ve always believed in the supernatural. Hunting for ghosts is my passion, but summoning a demon was never part of the plan. Monsters are roaming the woods, and something ancient—something evil—is waking up . . . and calling my name. I don’t know who I can trust, or how deep this darkness goes. All I know is my one shot at survival is the demon stalking me, and he doesn’t just want my body—he wants my soul.

Lose yourself in this spicy supernatural romance with a delicious dark academia smalltown setting, perfect for fans of Interview with a Vampire and readers of Scarlett St. Claire, Penelope Douglas, and Katee Robert.

This book from beginning to end had me hooked. I was even rooting for a demon and I’m glad I did.

The writing was great! I loved the story and how everything wasn't confusing. I loved the FMC and the MMC and their story together.

“Her Soul to Take” was a surprisingly mixed blend—dark, witchy, sexy, and sometimes heartfelt. The small-town occult vibe was engaging. Rae was the MVP, doing the hardest work and keeping the story together, even though she wasn't expected to be the one in charge. Leon, despite claiming to be a “powerful demon,” didn’t live up to that, but was charming with good chemistry. I loved the side characters, especially Juniper, who stole every scene. Overall, it was a fun, dark, and steamy read with some pacing issues and a convenient ending, but a good start to the trilogy. I’ll keep reading to see what happens next.

Seems I’m in the minority with this one, but I just felt there was something…lacking.

Rae, my god. Talk about TSTL. And she was given SO MANY “quirky” traits which never ended up going anywhere. I enjoyed Leon to a degree, but again, more could have been done with his character. He was introduced as a bully character, but only for a whisper of time where it could have been fleshed out into a really exciting dark romance. Overall just meh.
