Goodreads Synopsis: Regan Edison has just moved from California, to enter her first year at Georgia Liberty College, the place where jacked up Chevy trucks and hunting are a way of life. Regan hopes to start a new life for herself and she thinks that Georgia is just the place to do it. That is until she meets an unexpected stranger.

Colter Hayes is a member of the Collectors, a group of wrongfully punished lost souls. Colter and the rest of his team, Finn, Kaiden and Devon, work for the Requiem Council who pass judgment on those souls that are neither tagged for Heaven nor Hell. The Council has charged the Collectors with finding the lost in exchange for a chance at redemption.

When an ex-councilmember known to pass Retribution on lost souls sets his sights on Regan, the Requiem Council dispatches the Collectors to Georgia to work as protectors for Regan. The Collectors must fight to save Regan from a fate they know all too well, but can they work to earn back their chance at redemption or are their fates sealed forever?

Who is meant for Heaven?
Who is meant for Hell?
And who is just lost?

My Review: I'm sorry, I'm not going to lie about this book. It definitely wasn't my favourite. Honestly, I can't remember the first half. But the ending was... Interesting. About the last hundred or so pages I remember, and it was pretty cool. A good story, just wasn't one of my favourites. The characters were cool, some of them, but the story seemed like it just didn't jump out at me. I couldn't really get into until that second half. I couldn't really connect with any of the characters, and that resulted in me skimming probably half the book, which isn't always fun. I mean it makes the book go faster, but I can't really keep my mind on it. I received this book from netgalley.com in exchange for a review, and that's what I'm doing. I'll probably check out the second book in the series, however, in hopes that it will be more fun than this one. I think that's all I have to say. Thanks for reading!

3.5 Stars

I found myself very intrigued just within the first few pages. It pulled me right in. Regan who’s a lost soul reincarnated however she cannot remember her past lives. So she is thrown into a world she doesn’t remember and a bad guy that wants her for unknown reasons. The Council sent a group of men known as the Collectors to protect her. Colter is one of the leaders of the Collectors and finds himself attracted to Regan and vice versa. You see Regan and Colter’s relationship grow as Regan life is thrown more into a world she is trying to understand. I really liked the book up until the last few chapters which brought my rating down just a little. Though I really wanted it to end a different way I can’t wait to see where and what’s going to happen next. Overall I liked it a lot and can’t wait for the next book.
