[ARC Review] - Soul Kissed by Erin Kellison + Swag Giveaway

Title: Soul Kissed
Author: Erin Kellison
Series: Shadow Kissed
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: September 3, 2013

I received this book from the author, in exchange for an honest review.

Summary: While the world slumbers in Shadow, a fatal plague has swept through magekind. No one is immune to its ravages, and now that her father is dead, Cari Dolan must wield the fearful magic of her House to save innocent lives.

At the mage Council's bidding, dangerous outsider Mason Stray joins forces with Cari to hunt down the fiend responsible. But can he trust the daughter of wealth and privilege, especially when his own son is at risk?

The princess will always welcome to her bed the warrior, even if one must pay the ultimate price...

Thoughts: Thanks to Kaye Brand the human world now knows of Mages and Shadow.  During a human/shadow event a plague is released reeking havoc on Mages. Reluctantly Mason and Cari partner up to find the culprit behind this plague.

This is book two in the Shadow Kissed series, and Soul Kissed definitely delivers. It is dark and sensual and everything loved about Shadowverse.  A good read for me.   I don't know if it was the mood I was in while reading or what, but I did have a hard time liking the heroine Cari. Now Mason on the other hand was an exciting character to read about.  Even though I was put off a bit, I still recommend this one. Especially if you've been reading this series since the beginning.
