Goodreads.com Summary: Kaylee has one addiction: her very hot, very popular boyfriend, Nash. A banshee like Kaylee, Nash understands her like no one else. Nothing can come between them. 
Until something does. 
Demon breath. No, not the toothpaste-challenged kind. The Netherworld kind. The kind that really can kill you. Somehow the super-addictive substance has made its way to the human world. But how? Kaylee and Nash have to cut off the source and protect their friends–one of whom is already hooked. 
And so is someone else…

I liked My Soul To Keep, and overall, I really love this series.  But My Soul To Keep is also my least favorite (so far).

I just loved Tod and how protective he was of Kaylee.  I didn’t like Nash in this one, and mostly because he was so different.  I get why Vincent wrote him the way she did, but I still found myself annoyed with him, especially when we found out he was addicted to Demon’s Breath.  Looking back, there were definitely clues as to what was going on and how/why the demon’s breath crossed over in the first place, and things really did make a lot of sense at the end.

Kaylee’s relationship with Nash definitely took a hit, and I wonder if anything will happen with Tod.  There really is a lot of potential for a love triangle.  I also appreciate that Kaylee wants to help people, but it is a little annoying that it took her so long to tell someone what was happening.  I think they definitely need a break from each other, but who knows if that’s really going to happen?

I did like seeing the Netherworld, and we did get to see a little more of it.  I think we’ll be seeing more of it in the books to come.  Vincent is doing a great job with building on the world she created and adding in more details and new problems and villains with each book.  I really can’t wait to see what is going to happen next.

My Soul To Keep started off a little slow, and the beginning was a little repetitive at times, but it did get a lot more interesting towards the end.  I like how we’re starting to see the consequences of Kaylee’s actions.  While they’re not always immediate, at least there are consequence, and I really hope she learns from that.  I also have a feeling that things are going to get really serious, and that we haven’t seen the last of Avari.  But there’s also something fun about this series, and I hope that sticks around too.

Still, My Soul To Keep was a fun read, and it gets a 3 out of 5.
