Fallen Soul (War of Destiny # 4)Fallen Soul by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lane Marlow is a wanted vampire and has been for decades. He has been forced to travel and survive on his own due to Valentino’s edict to kill him on sight. When he is surprised one night by a vampire named Julia that doesn’t know him, isn’t scared of him, and actually apologizes to him for catching him off guard -which has never happened before- he is intrigued. It’s been a long time since anyone was even remotely close to being friendly with him. As he gets to know Julia and her group, he finds himself at a crossroads. He could help them or stay out of their power struggles with Valentino. However, could this be the answer to ending his forced solitary lifestyle? Could they actually become friends??

This book is Lane’s perspective of what happened in book 3 of this series. I appreciated that the author gave him his own book so that the reader could get a different point of view of what happened AND gave us backstory on how Lane came to be a feared loner. I feel like the thought process of someone that has been on his own for a long time was captured well. I am looking forward to the next book to see what happens next.

It’s fantastic! Literally, a dark fantasy with all the elements you live and want. Mystery, monsters, and mayhem. The author’s writing style is unique, and it continues in this book to grab you by the throat. Great character development, twisty not sure what’s going to happen plot, and the delivery I have come to expect from this author. Great fantasy series!

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I loved this story!! Fantastic!! This is Book 4 in the War of Destiny Series and while I believe that this book could be read as a standalone, I very highly recommend reading this series in order over all.. you will not be disappointed.

Lane Marlow is a loner, trying to stay safe and has been on the run for a very long time, especially trying to hide from King of the Vampires…Valentino. When Lane meets by chance a female vampire who is totally different than what Lane is used to…does Lane believe he finally found someone that may be in the same corner as Lane? Will Valentino and his fellow council find Lane after being on the run for so long?

This story is great… danger, action, vampires and battle of good and evil. I so recommend this book and series and I am hoping to more to come!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lane has been on the run for decades ever since he was turned. The king wants him dead for feeding off his own kind instead of humans (for which he thought he was doing right)and his council continues to try and find him

The one thing Lane wants is to go home to Ireland where he lost everything. On attempting a journey home he runs into Julia who is the first vampire who doesn’t run scared, or try to kill him. She actually in an odd twist apologizes to Lane.

He doesn’t trust anyone and it’s what’s kept him alive, can he trust Julia and her group of rebels? Will the King catch up to him? Has he finally found a group of people he can rely on.

Another great installment of this series with action and suspense that will keep you turning the pages

Fallen Soul (War of Destiny # 4)Fallen Soul by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lane has pretty much been a loner since he was turned. He’s been on the run for quite some time after ticking off the Vampire King Valentino. There are orders by the king to kill Lane on sight and many vampires believe him to be insane.

Lane is currently in Rome but is longing to go home to Ireland. However, many factors are preventing him from making the trip. One of those factors is a female vampire who does not shy away from him upon their first meeting. She and her group are unlike any other vampires that Lane has seen. This group pretty much violates every law that Valentino has set up. What a group of rebels!

Will Lane always be alone or has he found allies in Julia’s group?

This is book four of a series and this one could technically be read as a stand alone. However, this series is one that every book should be read!! Lane is a character that doesn’t come into play really until this book but other characters and their backgrounds are developed in previous books.

Some content may be too intense for younger readers so please bear this in mind when gifting or recommending for a younger reader.

Lost Soul (War of Destiny # 1)Lost Soul by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Julia is in 16th century London. She is the daughter of a wealthy family. She has grown up with servants and has wanted for nothing. When she starts to fall in love with Adam, a servant’s son her father and older brother shatter her heart. They arrange a marriage and force her into it. Her husband is cruel. He’s not kind in any way. He’s a monster with no mercy. Julia tries to keep the people she cares about safe from his wrath, but it’s becomes harder and harder throughout their 3 years of marriage. Her husband finally does the unthinkable. He lands a blow to Julia that devastates her and she can’t see a way out. When a stranger shows up and offers her a way out she takes it. With nothing else to live for she agrees to a deal that will change her life and destiny forever. Said agreement will grant her freedom, but there is ALWAYS a catch! Accepting this deal will put her into a vampire resistance against a strong vampire king who refuses to step down and he’ll destroy anyone who is against him. Will Julia accept? Will she choose freedom and another enemy just to be rid of her husband? What will her husband think and do? Will Julia end up dead no matter the path she chooses? And will her love ever forgive her for all she has kept from him? What an interesting book! It took me a little to get into because the author was building the story and slowly sucking me in, but man oh man was it good! I can’t wait to read the others in the set! If you haven’t given this one a chance do it!! Read half of it at least! If you aren’t sucked in by then I would be really really really really surprised! Give it a chance! You won’t regret it!

Fallen Soul (War of Destiny Book 4) by Theresa Van Spankeren. This is the 4th book in the War of Destiny series and while it can be read as a standalone I believe you will enjoy it much more if you read them all. This is the story of Lane who has been kicked out of his home by the Vampire King, Valentino. Valentino believes that Lane is a true threat to him so not only does he want him out of their home, he wants him dead. Valentino thinks Lane is a threat because of his powers. As Lane becomes very homesick he travels toward Ireland and ends up in Rome. Being discovered Valentino sends two of his members to kill him. This is a fast paced thriller with vampires galore. When you start to read it beware you won’t want to put it down.

Fallen Soul is the fourth book in the War of Destiny Series and is a Paranormal/Fantasy with Vampires. I truly enjoyed reading this book just as much as the previous three books. I do recommend reading this series in order as each book builds off the last making for an epic series. This series has taken us on quite the ride and this one will have you turning the pages trying to figure out what is going to happen next. Get ready to go on quite the adventure with Lane. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to spoil anything for you. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fallen Soul is the fourth book in the War of Destiny Series, and it is just as fast-paced, full of surprises, and entertaining as the first three books. This book is shorter than the other books of the series, but still packs the same punch! Theresa Van Spankeren does an amazing job creating not only the world of the time period, but also the world of the vampires. I loved this book and its deviation from the perspective of the original characters, while also including them in the story. Much more information is learned about the vampires and some of the abilities that a select few of their kind possess. Valentino is still as evil as ever, and focusing his effort on not only hunting the members of Samuel and Julia’s ka-tet, but also hunting the rogue, Lane Marlow, whom he believes to be a threat based on his unusual powers. Overall, Theresa Van Spankeren delivers more great characters and wonderful world building that I’ve come to associate with her writing!

Fallen Soul is another exciting and unpredictable installment in the War Of Destiny Series by Theresa Van Spankeren. This book grabs you from the first page and it’s almost impossible to put down! I really enjoy this series and Fallen Soul is the most action packed and suspenseful book yet! With wonderful new characters like Lane, I find him so cool and think his interactions with Julia and the rest of the Ka-Tet are really fun to read. He is also very relatable and the author’s mesmerizing writing makes him so easy to root for! This book and series in general also makes you wonder if we all might have a destiny! I really hope there is more to this series! To experience all of Theresa Van Spankeren’s entrancing paranormal fantasy series, War Of Destiny, I would highly recommend starting with book one Lost Soul! You will not be disappointed! Wonderfully unique and refreshing read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in this series which is just as great as the previous three books. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series to help your enhancement of this series and the characters. This is a series that I have enjoyed reading from the first book and this one is no different. This is a well written story where the author has created characters that not only pull you into their world but make their story come to life. A story where there are battles and unexpected allies but are they true or another obstacle to stop Lane from going home. This is a great story that is fast paced and hard to put down. A story where it will take you on an adventure that just keeps going with hopes of going home. This is one of my favorites of the series for sure. I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

Fallen Soul is the fourth installment of the War of Destiny stories and you can tell. I would not recommend reading this until you read the first three. I started reading it without the first three and had to stop and purchase the first three. That being said, after getting caught up I was impressed with the story line. Lane just wants to go home but is being hunted by the Vampire King. Tons of violence if that isn’t your thing don’t read on. This story is non stop action.

This is the fourth book in the War of Destiny series. Lane wishes for his home as he’s fleeing from the Vampire King. Will he find a way to survive and find his home again?
I unfortunately did not read the previous books. However, I found myself getting pulled into this story mainly because of the great writing by the author. As you read, you can imagine the danger, adventure, violence, and so much more that Lane is feeling. It’s hard not to turn the page to see what happens next. I will be looking for the other books in this series. I’m sure I missed some aspects of the story and I would like to read about Lane’s prior experiences.

This is another great instalment to this series, following on from the previous books and building on the what has already happened. I always find it really easy to get back into this series. The author knows how to pull you back in. This book is just as good as the others, exciting, fast paced and well written. I always want to see how things are going to turn out and look forward to reading this next book to come.
This author is only one I have recently become familiar but I am already a fan. I love her word building and worlds are so imaginative. I cannot wait for more from this series and more from this author overall.

4.5 Stars

 

‘Feared. Hunted. Shunned.’

Fallen Soul is the fourth instalment in the War of Destiny series by Theresa Van Spankeren. Each book in this series builds on what has come previously, making for a fantastic read. I highly recommend reading the previous three books before starting on this one, because as I mentioned, the instalments build on one another, creating a ‘bigger picture’, not to mention hours of entertaining adventure to plunge into.
This is an original, clever and intriguing paranormal saga with vampires, action, adventure, high stakes, politics, agendas, atmospheric world building, danger, tense developments, violence, and plenty of suspense.
Happy reading!

Thank you, Theresa Van Spankeren!

Trigger warning: May have scenes of violence too intense for some readers.
Fallen Soul is the fourth book in the unique and dark War of Destiny series. It is a paranormal, fantasy story with vampires. Who doesn’t love a good vampire story? It is as engaging as the other books.
Lane tired and longs for the home he once had. He is trying to keep ahead of the Vampire King who wants his head. Danger is everywhere. But when he stumbles up something he has not seen before he is not sure if it is friend or foe.
Theresa is a great storyteller and at weaving a wonderful tale. There is plenty of violence and action and the characters have depth and meaning. War of Destiny is a multi-layered and exciting series. With lots of intense danger, intrigue, imagination and twists and turns will keep you glued to the pages.
Don’t miss out on this epic series where the tension is ripe.

Feared. Hunted. Shunned.

Lane Marlow has been on the run for decades. Condemned for feeding off his own kind, he escaped Valentino, King of the Vampires. As rumors circulate about how such a young vampire escaped, Valentino orders him killed on sight. Lane manages to elude or kill all those who came after him before disappearing.

But now, Lane longs for the home he had been forced to abandon. As he starts to make his way back to Ireland, he is discovered in Rome. Realizing that his quarry is still very much alive, Valentino sends two of his Council members to lead the hunt.

As Lane battles those sent after him, he stumbles across a group of vampires who are different than any he’s ever dealt with. They don’t attack him. They don’t run from him. And they live with humans. But are they unexpected allies, or just another obstacle to getting home?

Trigger warning : May have scenes of violence too intense for some readers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Julia’s depression resulting from the events in the previous books is so very palpable entering the 3rd installment of this series. Her sanity is questioned and she has many demons to battle to win back the trust of those closest to her. There were many unanswered questions that this book addressed in such a beautiful way. This author’s writing draws the reader into her world with her characters. I was thrilled with this book and am anxiously awaiting jumping into the next one.

This series just keeps getting better! Julia’s story continues and so do her hardships. This third book is just as fast paced and amazing as the first two. Julia grows a lot in this book and you learn more about why Samuel felt so much power in her. Once you think you have things figured out there’s a plot twist. I so enjoy reading Julia’s story and the trials she has to go through. All of the added abilities and ways of the vampires in this series has been a very interesting story. I will be reading more from this author as I love her ideas and writing style. I am absolutely loving this series and am looking forward to book 4!

This second book in the series picks up with Julia telling more of her back story. I’m really loving this series! Its a fast paced story that kept me reading and not wanting to stop. I I really enjoy the authors writing style and their storytelling style. You read from Julia’s perspective mostly and want nothing but for her to be happy. There is so much emotional scarring but is it to much to overcome? With the suspense building and another twist this one is hard to put down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The first two books in the series give us the backstory of Julia, a human girl who is eventually turned into a vampire. Her story continues to evolve as she meets many friends and foes, while learning to cope with her new lifestyle. Over the last few decades, Julia has learned a lot about humanity and vampires. The things she thought she knew have been all but disproven as she has grown to learn more about herself, despite how painful that journey of discovery was for her and the ones closest to her.

Will Julia be able to fix the wrongs of her past? Will the resistance ever accept her back and help her finish the battle she agreed to take on in the first book? This was a wonderful read and I was very pleased to learn that there is a fourth book. I’m looking forward to reading it so that I’m able to continue this journey with the characters I’ve grown to think of as friends.
