My Soul To Keep Psychology professor Dylan Foster has just finished up another year of teaching at Southern Methodist University. She heads to the park to celebrate her friend’s daughter’s 6th birthday, when the unthinkable happens. A little boy is kidnapped in broad daylight.

As Dylan and her friends try to make sense of it all, Dylan is tormented by a figure from her path…the evil Peter Terry. And it seems Dylan isn’t the only one who’s been visited by this sinister soul.

Will Dylan find the truth in time? Will the little boy be returned safely to his mother? And how does a 6 year old girl seem to be so in tune with a kidnapped boy?

My Soul to Keep is the third Dylan Foster book by Melanie Wells. (The first two are When the Day of Evil Comes and The Soul Hunter). Wells is also a private practice counselor, something that comes through clearly in her writing. Dylan foster is a very well developed character, that you can’t help but like, despite her shortcomings.

All in all I really liked My Soul to Keep. I will admit to being a little lost at times. I think reading the first two Dylan Foster novels first would have helped a lot. It took me a while to figure out that Peter Terry was not a real person. My best guess is that Peter Terry was explained in further detail in an earlier novel.

Despite the fact that I was lost at times, I loved the storyline! There was enough suspense to keep me on my toes, and there were some really interesting and sometimes lighthearted sub-plots to keep the story from getting too heavy.

This is definitely a somewhat supernatural suspense novel, reminding me at times of Frank Peretti’s This Present Darkness, though the author’s style is much different.

Final Verdict: I give My Soul To Keep a B+. It probably would have been an A if I had read the first two novels first. :)
