I have read the whole series to War of Destiny, none of the books has disappointed. The author really blew me away with this story. This isn’t usually my typical type of books I read, but I loved them. The world building and characters was well thought out. The details was on point. There wasn’t unnecessary details. I can’t wait to read more by the author!
Between Darkness & Light is the third book in the series. Each book I got into, each one got just that much better. They were a page turner for me. This one was full of adventures. I never knew what was gonna happen next. That made me continue to read because I wanted to know what happened next. I highly recommend starting with book 1.
Lost Soul is the first book in the series. I really loved the whole series. Lost souls had amazing world building and characters was well thought out. You can tell the author took time writing this series. Each book was very unpredictable, which kept you reading because you wanted to know what happened next. I highly recommend reading the whole series!
Pursuit into Darkness was another great book in this series. This is the second book and it didn’t disappoint. The details was on point. The world building and characters was well thought of. This book was a page turner for me. It had me wanting to know what happened next.
Wow! What an amazing read this was. I read this book in a day. Fallen Soul will grab your attention from the very first page til the last one. The world building and characters was well thought out. This book was very unpredictable and it makes you wanting to know what happens next. I highly recommend you checking out this series. I also recommend starting with the first book before reading the rest!

Theresa Van Spankeren is one of my new favorite authors of all time when it comes to the paranormal! The War of Destiny series has me on the edge of my seat and wanting more! I am so excited for this series to continue! Juliana has been building up her skills for this moment, and now we understand that she’s not crazy, but that she has a power that has not been seen in a vampire in a long time! Will she be able to master this skill before she has to battle her King Valentino, or will she not be strong enough for this battle that’s been building since the time of her transition to a vampire? I love the attention to detail that Theresa Van Spankeren pays in her writing, her ability to draw you in and leave you craving more of the story is just mesmerizing! I am officially hooked and cannot wait for the next book in this exciting series! @Brandy Rymer 07/2023

You do not want to miss out on this dark, romantic, passionate, and heroic vampire series.
Definitely start from the beginning to learn in depth the trials and tribulations Julia faces.
Theresa writes a strongly detailed story that creates the string foundation for fascinating world building. War of destiny continues over the span of five books. Its plot is engaging and fast paced. Told from a woman’s POV she learns that she must become her own strength falling in and out love, facing the worlds darkest demons and living amongst the undead.
This series has a strong female lead, it’s engaging powerful dark and twisted to haunt your dreams. Trigger warnings for those that are sensitive to abuse / killing.

Julia is a young woman in appearance, but in reality, she is a vampire and albeit she is young in comparison to others, she has had to endure more than most. It is well known that vampires gain abilities as thru age, but Julia instead struggles with a feeling akin to madness, but all that changed when she was confronted by something impossible and this is where the truth became known and finally, accepted.
After all that happened in the build up to when she betrayed the Resistance and her ka-tet, between hearing voices, seeing apparitions and realistic dreams, all the trust her group had built up was destroyed and Julia has been trying to make up for it ever since. They all thought she was delusional and so did she, but this harm went deeper than anyone initially realised, so when Julia is at her most defeated, the light finally shines through and help is sought from another group of vampires who can hopefully teach Julia about her gift, the ability to see and hear the dead, something which hasn’t been seen in centuries and would explain why Valentino was able to take the advantages which he did.
This is when it finally looks like life can get back in track in a manner of speaking and when the Resistance find out that Julia isn’t insane, they want proof, but will Julia be able to master her gift enough in the time frame they give her, or will Valentino come to throw another spanner in the works? This is another fast paced installment into this paranormal romance which is full of action, adventure and vampires galore as you race across countries, as time runs out and complications arise to detail any attempts at normality.

Soul Redeemed (War of Destiny Book 5) by Theresa Van Spankeren is the 5th installment in this Dark Fantasy Series. Check your trigger warnings before reading. **Triggers: There’s some depression and self-harm related content. ** We find Julia and her Ka-tet as she is learning to use and strengthen her power to see and hear the dead. They need to convince the resistance leaders of her abilities and bring the resistance back together. But can they do it before time runs out, or will Valentino finally destroy them all. This fast-paced story will not disappoint. The unexpected twists and turns will keep you from putting this one down. 4 out 5 stars.

She has done it again. This book doesn’t let you down. It’s full of action, suspense, and romance. I was so happy to see some old romances picking back up. I’m glad some friendships were reinforced. Be prepared to be enthralled until the last page.

In this last installment, Julia’s character comes back as front and center into the story and she is still coming to terms with this special ability of using and hearing people that are not seen by others. She then discovers it is a very rare gift, which is a valuable asset to the Resistance, which is something she must prove to them. As a result, a big setup with human hostages ends up taking place. I most definitely do not want to give too many details to readers. Please make sure you read this series from the beginning! The sequences are much more deeply appreciated as well as learning more about the characters to see where they have been and to where it leads them. It is a bit sad to see this series end because I truly fell in love with the story itself as well as the characters. Van Spankeren put so much great detail and character development into her novels. It is worth the journey!

Soul Redeemed is the 5th book in the War of Destiny series, and they should be read in order to be able to follow the timeline of events. Typically I am not a fan of vampire stories, but this series has surprised me more than once and kept me interested and engaged throughout the series. With this book, we are back to Julia’s POV, and she is trying to learn to control and hone in on her powers to prove to the resistance they exist and how special they are. The trouble is, Julia is on a time crunch. She has to learn as much as she can before Ka-tet or the villagers are destroyed. As things get more chaotic and stressful, Julia struggles with self harm, and eventually, how to cope with recovering from that. Will Julia get a hold on her powers and overcome the resistance? Will Valentino get to her before she is strong enough? Can they overcome all of the obstacles that keep coming at them? There is so much to unpack in this one. The world building and ever-continuing character growth shines through once again. This is an amazing vampire paranormal series and I hope to see the story continue again! Reviewed by @zoltrixes

This is the fifth book in the War of Destiny series. You should read the previous books in the series before starting this one.
Yet again the author has been able to create wonderful characters and scenes to draw you into their world easily. Again, the characters are met with danger and twists/turns as they make their journey.
Throughout the series I have really loved Julia and really felt for her as she never seems to catch a break, no matter how much she deserves it. The author portrays her character so well I can feel her emotions as she tries to prove herself. Her strength is admirable as she continues, and I love her all the more for it as she perseveres.
It’s a shame there isn’t another book into the series for me to jump straight into, but I’ll be keeping an eye out for more from this author now that I have discovered them.

This is the 5th book in the series. I absolutely recommend you start at the beginning and give this whole series a shot. Plenty of vampires, action, love, guilt, learning. You won’t be disappointed! I’m glad there is room for another book because I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to these characters. Like the rest of the books, I had a very hard time putting this one down.

This series has been a complete surprise to me and knocked me off my feet. Each book had me absolutely absorbed throughout the entire story, and Soul Redeemed is no different. The author clearly didn’t have to stretch to make it to five books as I didn’t feel any lulls at any point. I am invested in the characters, but specifically Julia since she has come from such a harrowing past. You will feel every emotion as your own and you’ll be at the edge of your seat through every twist and turn. I definitely recommend starting from book one in the series because it is a complex world, and you’ll kick yourself for missing out on this author’s amazing writing style. The entire series flows so flawlessly, it comes with the highest recommendation!

This book is the fifth book of the ‘War of Destiny’ series. Julia is still struggling with control of her powers of speaking to the dead. For years she thought she was crazy, now that they are catching on that her past actions have to do with her powers, they are trying to teach her more control while getting ready to convince the council that Julia is sane and remorseful of the past.
Julia has no faith in herself but knows that she will have to step up for the sake of her ka-tet. When it came time to convince the others of her powers, she called upon Valerie in hopes that what is said is convincing enough. On top of that, she has a vision that Jonathan is planning to ambush a group. Julia acts quick and makes a plan to change the outcome of the vision. Unfortunately, some believe it was a vision while others believe she is still attached to Valentino and that’s how she knew about them being there.
It’s hard enough to work together when there is so much distrust let alone the possibility of Valentino coming back into the picture.
Although this isn’t my favorite of the series, it was still a great read. The rollercoaster of emotions I have had for Julia throughout the series is crazy. I liked her, then loved her, then hated her and now I am back to liking her. The author did a great job writing the redemption of the ka-tet.

This is the 5th book in the War of Destiny series. This is a great paranormal adventure. I do highly recommend reading these book in order so that you can fully understand everything that has happened to our characters and how they have developed. The author’s character and world building really brings the story to life. This is a series which is full of intrigue, danger, and twists and turns that keep the reader guessing and wanting more
We are back with Julia as she trys to prove to the Resistance that her gifts are real and hopefully prove her usefulness to them. Julia has been scared my her gifts of hearing and seeing the dead in the past but now she is determined to embrace this gift. My heart goes out to Julia. She has struggled through so much and continues to do so. But when she is put in a position where she needs to save the villagers and stop her Ka-tet from being destroyed can she learn how to weld her gift in a way to help protect the people she cares about or is she doomed to fail and lose more people in her life.

I am so invested and continue to love this series so much. I highly recommend to reading this series of book in order and start with book 1. Soul Redeemed is book 5 and I am still completely in love and fascinated….vampires, drama, action with twists and turns along the way.
Julia is trying to learn her powers, as they are unique. Plans on put to rest by the King and Julia has no other choice but to do it herself and rely on her ke-tet. Julia’s plan…..save a human village nearby that is taken hostage by the King…but doing so and betrayal at her heels….will Julia be able to save her people…
I do not want to give much away…there is so much to say about this story…..definitely check this series out..you will not be disappointed!

Soul Redeemed is the fifth book in the War of Destiny series. I would definitely suggest reading this fantasy series in order, starting with Lost Soul, to follow the story and get to know the characters. The series follows Julia, a vampire who is part of the Resistance against the Vampire King.
In Soul Redeemed, Julia is learning how to use and control her powers to communicate with the dead. She’s done it before, knows she can, but doing it on cue to prove her abilities and help the cause of the Resistance is easier said than done.
There is some great world-building in this series, which combines historical elements with vibrant fantasy. And a wonderful, ever-expanding cast of characters. Julia has a lot of complicated relationships to navigate with the other vampires, with centuries of emotional baggage to consider!
This book gets five stars from me. I’d recommend it to fans of dark fantasy and historical fantasy who love vampires. I can’t wait to read more!

Julia is still honing her skill to reach out to the spirits of passed friends. With her ka-tet, she finds building trust with them all to be daunting. While some are willing to believe that she can speak to the dead, others remain skeptical. As Valentino’s band brings trouble to their area, can she manage to strengthen her abilities to help defeat them, or will she still be the weak link that they fear and cause their destruction?
This series seems to be building to a big face off, and I am looking forward to it. With some many characters in different areas, I found myself hoping they would all gather together in this book. They didn’t, but there are reasons for that which are left to be seen by the reader. I appreciated the author taking the time to describe how Julia works through her trauma, how others encourage her, and how they help her. Definitely looking forward to seeing the outcome and how everyone pulls together to defeat Valentino in the end.

This is the 5th book in the series and I would definitely recommend reading the others first. This series seems to go from strength to strength, with no signs of slowing down. It is impressive the author has managed to successfully keep the series going for this long. It was so easy to slip back into these characters and the story. This book is just as exciting as the others and I loved how it all developed. The book was well written and intriguing. I am thoroughly enjoying this series and cannot wait for more.

Soul Redeemed (War of Destiny Book 5) by Theresa Van Spankeren is a great paranormal series.
Years of not knowing whether the apparitions in front of her were genuine or just her imagination caused Julia to fear them. After all, someone had duped her into turning on the Resistance and harming people who were most important to her. However, Julia has since discovered the truth about her ability. She is the first vampire to be identified in centuries who has this ability.
Her ka-tet asks a group of seasoned pals in Marseilles to impart what knowledge they can to Julia. She works against the clock to master her power and convince the Resistance’s top brass that she possesses these exceptional talents. When King Valentino’s men learn of the gathering and arrange a trap by kidnapping surrounding human tribes, their intentions are foiled.
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even more one-of-a-kind characters. The story really transports you into their world. I couldn’t put the book down

Soul Redeemed is the fifth book in the War of Destiny by Theresa Van Spankeren. This story finds Julia trying to learn how to control her powers so that she can prove to the resistance that she has rare gifts. When her plans are derailed by King Valentino she has to figure out how to learn enough control on her own to unify the resistance and save the villages that Valentino is holding hostage. I really enjoyed this story. I found the story to be confusing at first because I had not read the first books. When I went back and read the books in order, I understood everything much better and found great enjoyment in the book and series. The continued world-building even this far into the series is wonderful. It is very easy to get immersed in the story.
Julia is very determined to control her powers. She has to rely on her ka-tet to learn her powers. This story is very tense because she is also faced with trying to do all of this while worrying about her ka-tet being destroyed and learning fast enough to save the villagers. There is a great amount of action to keep you hooked. There is tons of magic and fun to be had. This has become one of my favorite fantasy stories.

Soul Redeemed (War of Destiny Book 5) by Theresa Van Spankeren. This is such a good vampire, paranormal series. I highly recommend reading these in order to better understand the story and characters. Its the continuing story of Julia and learning to use her very rare power she was blessed with. Her katet has been guiding her on the ways to use this power and she relies on him heavily. The katet is also tryin to runify the Resistance and fight against Valentino’s forces at the same time. Julia truly believes Valentino’s main goal is to kill the katet. This story is full of adventure, vampires and magic powers that will keep you turning pages to the very end. This is not my favorite genre but I have truly enjoyed this series. Do yourself a favor and read it today.

Soul Redeemed is the fifth installment of Theresa Van Spankeren’s War Of Destiny series and I am beyond loving all of it! Each book keeps getting better and more intriguing and I can never put any of them down! I highly suggest starting this series with her first book Lost Souls to join Julia at the start of her journey! I really enjoyed watching Julia really get to know herself and her powers in this book. Spankeren writes her character in such a relatable way and with such emotion you can’t help but feel everything Julia goes through. Soul Redeemed has such great world building (as always with Spankeren) with enough action and intensity to have my heart racing.

Theresa Van Spankeren delivers another great book in The War of Destiny Series! The fifth installment, Soul Redeemed finds Julia and her ka-tet strengthening a power she wasn’t sure she would ever have; one they must convince the Council she even possesses. The ka-tet must also reunify the Resistance and fight against Valentino’s forces all while protecting the humans from nearby villages that are now acutely aware of their existence. Soul Redeemed delivers the same amazing world building as the rest of the series. I could feel the fear, passion, guilt, pain, and love felt by the characters. The same familiar characters are also here, along with some newer faces. Twists and turns and action abound! There is still so much story left in this series, and I’m loving it! I highly recommend this series!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series!! Usually by book 5 in a series, the story has started to wane some and the action isn’t quite what you expected but that is definitely not true in this saga!!
I highly recommend reading these books in order. Failure to do so will lead to much confusion amongst the characters and the situations. There is a lot of backstory to this saga that is necessary in order to enjoy this series as it’s intended.
Julia is just now learning about her powers and the ones she possessess haven’t been seen in other vampires in centuries. Not really knowing how to best manifest them, Julia has to rely on her katet to help her hone her skills and use them for the best benefit to everyone. At the same time, Julia is concerned that Valentino is doing his dead level best to destroy her katet and all the humans too.
There is a lot I want to say about this book but I’m not going to ruin it for anyone. There is a lot of action, loose ends tied up, more loose ends created, and emerging storylines for future books in this series. This made for an enjoyable afternoon read!

Julia would never have believed she would figure out her gifts and how to use them, let alone convince others that she could see the dead and hear them in her head. The counsel meeting is where she must prove to them that the gifts are real. She is not confident if she will be able to or not even with the additional training of Samuel’s old friends. Everyone is facing challenges and now humans are in the mix as well. Valentino is on the warpath with the humans in the middle. This is an explosive book with room for possibly a 6th book. Fingers crossed as I really loved these characters.

WOW! Excellent book! I really hope there is more after this, because I need more about Julia’s group and Kali’s group. Julia’s feelings in this book are all over the place and my heart hurts for her. She still feels that sense of unease between her and Samuel, and also with Mary Anne, because of the past, but I think she has proven over and over that she is not that person, that she was, deceived into making those decisions 6 years ago. The showdown with Jonathan was rough, but I am waiting for the battle with Valentino. In the end, I was happy to see her relationships with everyone strengthen, and the new friends she makes in Alicia and Adrian. Something is going on with Julia and her power to sense others in her ka-tet and I can’t wait to find out what that is! Wonderful series thus far!

Gripping paranormal adventure Another great instalment to the War of Destiny series. Book 5 has Julia harnessing her powers in a race against time. This is one series you will want to read from the start as each book flows seamlessly into the next leading to the ultimate climax of events. The author knows her craft and wields it just right to bring well developed characters and magnificent imagery to life. Action, suspense and unexpected twists will have you turning the pages well into the night. Highly recommend.

Soul Redeemed is Book Five in the War of Destiny Series. Each book builds upon the one prior so I recommend reading the first four books in the series first. It will also introduce you to each of the characters and give you their background and story. This is a fast-paced paranormal story full of action, suspense, danger, intrigue, vampires, and twists and turns that will keep you reading to the end. The characters are beautifully written, diverse, and complex. Julia is the MC, and this book focuses on her POV as she struggles through her journey of becoming a vampire. She is strong, smart, determined and we have watched her grow and mature through each of the books. Julia’s journey has left her with feelings of regret, and she struggles with self-harm behavior. This is heart wrenching to read, and you want to reach out and give her a hug. The author has done a great job of world building and creating vivid scenes that immerse you fully into the story alongside the characters. As their journey continues the stakes are even higher for the characters and they are in a race against time. I highly recommend this vampire paranormal series that will grab your attention from the first book and keep you reading to the end.
