Soulless














Bear & Thia’s epic conclusion is FINALLY HERE!

SOULLESS IS LIVE! 

PROLOGUE
I was mad at the world, at the whiskey for not being strong enough, at the drugs for not lasting long enough, at the fucking whores I banged for not getting me off when it was my fault my dick was fucking useless after a bucket of fucking blow. I went so far as to be pissed at random people on the street for laughing or smiling when I felt like I’d never be able to smile or laugh again.

How dare they?

How fucking dare they be move on with their lives like my friend hadn’t just died.
I was on the verge of losing what little sanity I had left when I rode out of Logan's Beach and set off to find a place, or places, where I could numb myself against the feelings that followed me from town to town, cheap motel to cheap motel, girl to girl, high to fucking high.
Then, this pink haired girl from the past came barreling into my life and it was like for the first time, I’d found a purpose. A real genuine purpose and not just some shit Chop spewed out as orders that I and every other member of the Beach Bastards took as bible, but a true reason to live again.

To WANT to live again.

Someone to live for.

Ti was my chance at some sort of real happiness when Lord fucking knows I had no idea what that really was before her. The only glimpses of real genuine happiness I'd ever had came courtesy of Preppy, King, and of course Grace. Like when King tattooed us for the first time and we loved them, even though they were crooked and downright fucking awful. Like when Grace made me my very first birthday cake. Like the time King Prep and I sat at the top of the water tower and thought the world was ours to take.

Because at that time, it was.

Then there was Ti and my new happiness became the first time I saw her smile. The first time I kissed her. The first time I tasted her pussy by the fire. The first time she let me inside of her, shamelessly pushing through her virginity in a frantic need to make her mine.

Because that's what she was.

That's what she would always be.

And I will kill every motherfucker who dares to try and take her from me.

Mine.

Soulless picks up where Bear and Thia's story left off in the previous book, and had me on the edge of my seat from the beginning. I was really excited to finally get everything concluded and see this couple get their HEA. 

I really liked these characters, their relationship was a like a battle taking place, bloody and dark, and it doesn't end without pain. I was rooting for them from the very beginning and couldn't wait to see what else TM Frazier could bring from them. Thia really showed her strength in this book, and I loved seeing that, and it really made her perfect for Bear. Apart they were two damaged people fighting their way through life, but together they were strength and courage, and now one could break them.

We were also introduced to a new character, Rage, who took some getting used to, but after I did, I started to like her. At first I was a little annoyed at her over the top character, but as the story went on, her craziness was actually kind of cool, and I really hope something will come of her character, and that this isn't the end to her.

With all of that being said, it pains me to also say that I was a little disappointed by Bear and Thia's conclusion. This book ended up being the quintessential ending to a cliffhanger, different and full of more questions. I used to avoid any book with a cliffhanger because I could never deal with getting the next part only to realize that the characters did a complete turn around in personality, and that some of the plotlines didn't follow to the next book.Sadly, that's what happened with this story, Bear seemed different, which didn't make sense to me, and the book was just a lot slower. 

A part of me was super excited by the ending. Like hyperventilating kind of excited, and it brought up so many questions that I can't wait to be answered. But then once the excitement died down some I was left confused, and still am. I don't understand how it's possible? Is it even what we think it was? Just, how? These questions are still bothering me! And I don't even know if I'll be happy with any of the possible answers to them because it just really doesn't make sense to me.

Overall, I liked the story, and I was happy with Bear and Thia finally getting their well deserved HEA. There were many moments that had my heart racing as I read it, and I loved that it could affect me in that way. I had my issues with it, but the bottom line is that it's a good read that anyone who likes a darker tale should pick up.
