SoulBound is what I would term a supernatural thriller. It revolves
around the main character, Jimmy, who discovers as a boy that
he has a unique gift; he is a soul collector. He comes to realize that
he has a Light that attracts certain lost souls to him… like moths
to a fl ame, and he bonds with these ghosts; people from various
countries and times in history… interacting with them as
if they were alive. He carries within him their memories, abilities,
and emotions, and refers to them as the SoulBound. Jimmy is now
26 -with twelve souls inside him- and is a highly regarded history
professor that speaks six languages… and he’s in love.
Dee, the love of his life, is unaware of the SoulBound, so Jimmy
must tell her, while also trying to deal with the dark mystery behind
the death of his latest and youngest soul; a six-year old girl named
Carrie Ann. He learns that she was murdered by a serial killer called
The Shadow That Speaks, and with the help of his SoulBound,
Jimmy must hunt him down, as the FBI can’t catch him.
The book is often quite romantic, and involves a full gambit of
emotions, and speaks genuinely to the essence of the human
condition, life and death, and good versus evil… while taking the
reader for a wild ride.
