Promise soulsavers #1 by kristie cook pdf

There are many twists and turns, surprise revelations, and heart-stopping romance. This book definitely will keep you on the edge of your seat and the tips of your toes. True love can't be more dangerous or bittersweet than a match made in Heaven and Hell.

If you have, the spoilers won't matter anyway. I read the synopsis on Goodreads. When the Kindle price on Amazon went to 99 cents, I snagged it. My delight at the price, though, was where the happy ended. This review may lean slightly toward the side of spoiler-ish, so stop reading now if you want. The self-loathing yet beautiful young girl moves to a new town and once there she meets a new guy who she is, of course, immediately attracted to.

This guy is mysterious, slightly creepy, and again, of course drop dead gorgeous. Tristan is constantly wanting to kill Alexis even though he loves her. Now I could have forgiven this. Alexis practically throws herself at Tristan. In fact, she literally does. She begs him repeatedly to have sex with her, but of course he refuses.

Alexis and Tristan's relationship is different from most I read. They did not jump right into bed together or admit their undying love for each other after only 3 days. They give their relationship time to grow and allowed themselves time to get to know each other. I liked that their relationship was more than sex. There were a lot of dark and unusual sec When I first read the synopsis for Promise, I thought this would be about a battle of good vs.

There were a lot of dark and unusual secrets they had and once everything was out in the open, they still loved one another. They both had their moments of doubt and Alexis in particular frustrated me. It was almost too late once she finally fully commented herself to Tristan and I felt he more than proved himself to her. Sophia is Alexis' mother and holds secrets to what Alexis' is and what her potential power can be but she is not allowed to tell.

Their kind, the Amadis, do not come into their power until the ang'dora change. Till then Sophia must keep secrets from Alexis. Even with all the unanswered questions, Alexis and Sophia are very close.

I want to say that I didn't like Sophia because she wouldn't share any information with her daughter but I respect that she did what she had to do to keep her daughter safe and keep the necessary secrets until Alexis was ready.

The Amadis fight for good and heaven while the Daemoni fight for Satan and seek to destroy souls. This story line was interesting to read and easy enough to follow. I did like this book but I would have liked it more if the book focused more on this. I would have liked to know more about each side and what other creatures there are out there. The story wasn't very fast paced and I felt myself forcing me to keep reading at times. It wasn't bad just a lot of secrets revealed with not much action.

This may not be the best choice for people who need constant action or sex to keep their attention. Kristie Cook's Promise has an interesting story that carries surprises. The secrets that were revealed were my favorite scenes because I didn't expect them. This is the first in the Soul Saver's series. I do plan to read Purpose, the second book in the series which is scheduled to be out this fall.

The ending left me wanting to know what happens next with both the characters and the story. I fell asleep, unable to concentrate any longer But by I was awake, unable to sleep - with Alexis in my head and in my heart - I picked up Promise again Little did I know, that I would never make it back to bed Promise, is intense - in the best way possible - it shook me to my very core, it caused me t I started reading Promise, due to all the book reviews I had read Promise, is intense - in the best way possible - it shook me to my very core, it caused me to throw up I had such emotions, they overflowed in me I could not help it, I did not want to.

The Light of Asteria and Elizabeth Isaacs is like that, and maybe one or two others, but not many - and she's the first that comes to mind Now I have another author that I feel that intense connection with, Kristine Cook created an amazing world - full of details, but while doing so, she created characters that took my breath away, they offered so much more of themselves than "regular" characters for me This book is written for older teens or adults, not my "normal" genre but it's a MUST read I loved it to my very core Full review to come soon!

To view it, click here. This book definitely caught me off guard. I didn't expect to be totally consumed by it and I was pulled in from the first word. I could not put it down until I had read the last sentence, thus losing precious sleep. This is an epic love story but is written in a whole new way. It has many similar elements to other YA fantasy novels but the author took it one step further and introduced a new world which I had never delved into before.

I was introduced to a new "species" of supernatural- soul sav This book definitely caught me off guard. I was introduced to a new "species" of supernatural- soul savers, and soul destroyers, each long time enemies fighting in a battle over mankind, with the main couple caught in between.

The characters were very well developed and I liked how much the main girl's Alexis mother Sophia was involved. Most YA novels seem to forget about the parents of the children but Sophia played a major role. Alexis is a strong, independent woman, who has had to overcome trust issues and feeling comfortable in her own skin.

With the help of Tristan, her soul mate, she is able to overcome her inner demons, only to have him snatched away far too soon for her liking or for the reader. Tristan swoon is every woman's idea of the perfect man, except he too has his inner demons to fight in order to be with Alexis, but his persistance and unwavering loyalty conquers in the end.

I admit, this book made me cry at certain parts, especially the end, and I am so thankful I was able to start reading the sequel immediately after.

I can't wait to see how their story ends, and I really hope they have a happy ending. Alexis has been on the move her whole life with her mother, never staying in one place long enough for her to meet true friends. She is picked on, teased throughout her life for being weird and abnormal. But what really is Normal? After graduation, Alexis and her mother move to a new town and Alexis starts college and writing her novel. She meets Tristan, and her whole world turns upside down Promise by Kristie Cook is such an insanely incredible read, it will grab your attention, heart, and soul.

She meets Tristan, and her whole world turns upside down. Alexis is used to putting up a barrier around herself. She has serious trust issues and is unsure about letting Tristan in. However, the more time they spend together, those barriers start to crumble. Alexis begins to learn secrets about herself and finds out that she and Tristan have more in common than she ever dreamed.

And Promise is one of those stories. Who exactly is Alexis? Why is her and her mother different? All the characters in this story have great personalities, and storyline is a non-stop attention getter.

Who exactly are the Amadis? The world that Kristie Cook created was very well thought out and in-depth. The two types of paranormal beings we encounter in this book and the history between the two was very cleverly laid out.

The way the story is told had me so intrigued, the story is told in Alexis's POV and although she knows she has a few quirks she has no idea what she is or where she came from. She is to 4. She is told more information as the story goes on and only as it is safe for her to know certain things, and we find out along with her.

I felt Alexis's frustration about being kept in the dark because I too really couldn't wait to find out what was going on. Not that I was complaining! Tristan is bloody hot, I had no problem reading about him engaging in sexy times lol. This book ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger, just be aware you'll likely want to go straight into the second book once you've read it, as do I!

It's full of characters with other-worldly abilities. If you didn't like Twilight because you felt the characters had super natural powers just for the sake of having them, you might like Promise because there's a reason for the characters having super natural powers Either way, the story will have you on the edge of your seat, wanting to find out how everything turns out between Alexis and Tristan.

If you liked the Twilight series, you'll probably like Promise. Promise is a must read. It opens a door to magical world that will whisk you away. I haven't written any other review for the books, only if I liked them or not. I really didn't know what to expect, but I truly didn't expect to be up all night reading it and to be completely blown away by the writing, story line, and characters.

This book begins 9 years ago from where book 2, Purpose, will pick up and is from the point of view of Alexis. Alexis knows she is different but she realizes that even more once she is attacked by creatures that shouldn't even exist.

Her mother tries to keep the truth from her and they move often to get aw This book shocked me. Her mother tries to keep the truth from her and they move often to get away from possible dangers. Then Alexis meets Tristan, who is gorgeous, mysterious, and seems to be very interested in Alexis. Alexis's mom instantly wants her to stay away from Tristan, and the fact that they seem to already know each other is obvious. An accident leads Alexis to find out the truth about herself, Tristan, and the creatures that are after her.

The writing in this book is outstanding! The way Kristie describes emotions, settings, and actions is so unique. It starts out with the best first few lines I think I have ever read in a book.

I posted them on the excerpts post but I will post them again. The sensation of being watched clung to me like a spider web, invisible threads bristling the back of my neck and down my spine. I brushed my fingers across my shoulders, as if I could drag the feeling off and flick it away.

How can you NOT want to read more after reading that? Alexis and Tristan are so passionate about each other and even though they have their issues to work out, their love shines through each page. They felt so real! The story takes a lot of twists and turns and will leave you guessing the entire time. What exactly is Tristan, where does their connection come from, and will it all work out?

The love between Tristan and Alexis will leave you breathless! Their relationship is strong and even though they seem to be "good versus evil", everything fits together perfectly. This book takes us into their world, and the world Alexis never knew existed. Some questions are answered while some are left for the next book.

The "Angel's army" must be saved and it is all in their hands. Characters: Alexis is one of my favorite female characters. She is someone I'd love to know! She is smart, interesting, and although she is head over heals in love with Tristan, it doesn't completely take over her life.

That can be common in a love story. But Alexis has her own interests and she doesn't forget to be herself. Tristan is.. He treats Alexis like she is the only girl in the world. Sophia, Alexis's mother, is strong and cares deeply for her daughter.

She does everything she can to make sure she is protected. Owen, was a great character as well. He works for Sophia and I really liked him throughout the book. I hope to read a lot more about him in Purpose.

Cover: I like this cover a lot. It was the first thing I noticed about the book. I, like many others, did think this book was YA at first.

Maybe it was the cover? But I love flowers and the simple design and purple, obviously so it works : Recommend: I strongly recommend this book! If you don't normally read books that are self-published or published by a small company, give this book a chance.

It really blew me away and I can't wait for the release of Purpose! Please be warned.. It's not full of curse words and actually I found that it didn't have many at all compared to some YA titles, however, it does have some sexual scenes. This makes it more appropriate for age 17 and up. If you want a book full of intriguing characters, romance, suspense, and mystery; with a little sexiness thrown in, this is the perfect book for you!

Kristie has set the plot for an alluring adventure that you can't help but want to explore. Alexis Ames has always known she was different. Firstly, I want to say that Kristie Cook has done a fantastic job by creating a whole new world that involves Good vs Evil.

The characters were great. It was a nice pace throughout the story. I have to say I was utterly shocked where their relationship goes…. The secondary characters were also a great addition and Owen, Rina, Sophia never disappointed throughout. Now, I bet your wondering why the 3. Well as much as I enjoyed the story and the characters….. There were some great scenes that I believe I should have been quiet emotional at and I just….

Maybe it was just me. I read this book with a few other people for Book of the Month and they all loved it. I think my main reason may have been, I was only reading little bits at a time due to work etc, and I think I needed to just read it all in one to feel the full effect but again, I did still enjoyed the story regardless of this.

I urge you guys to go buy this book and support the author…. Intriguing, captivating and catapulting me on a whirlwind of twists and turns till the very end. This book had me intrigued and definitely keen to keep on reading, I read this in one sitting I was swept along with the storyline, enjoying the flow and the way in which the direction took me.

A love that will not only have you sheepishly grinning, but also have you heart a- fluttering. Emotions and descriptions are well put forth, creating that world that Kristi has put forth, and the character traits to go with. Kristi has created a world where Good vs. Tristan is every girls dream boat, hot - gorgeous, charming, romantic and off course protective.

I enjoyed his character, fighting the demon within to be with and find love, his true love - soul mate. Tristan and Alexis love was magnetic, electrifying - it gave tingles just reading it It was so romantic and made you smile at moments, and giggle at others, and also heart warming moments where you heart sunk. The love was not instant, it was slow and gradual and not your fall in love at first site, I enjoyed this concept.

Alexis is insecure, very emotional , but has her goals which she focused on and in time her maturity and thoughts changed, I enjoyed seeing her change along the way. Tristan and Alexis is a match made in Heaven n Hell, will hell win and reclaim his soul? Demons hunt the souls and the Angels defend them A family line continues on to fight good over evil, but is the line stopping at Alexis? We are introduced to two world in this story, Good and Evil and the reasons behind the fued Im hoping to see a little more into these worlds in book two.

The ending to Promise will have you teary eyed and anticipating book two - Definably an unpredictable ending for sure If you after a read filled with lust, passion, romance, suspense, action, then this paranormal series is for you I'm head over heels, sleep deprived, and obsessed with this series. I can barely get through this review, so I can get the next book. I ignored all but the basic needs of my family for two days though I received no complaints about pizza for dinner to devour this book.

But don't worry, I won't short you, kittens. Because you guys are the awesome and because I want you to get into this series. Let's do this. We start off with a very creeptastic and edgy attack on young, My Thoughts: I. We start off with a very creeptastic and edgy attack on young, and slightly odd Alexis Ames.

In fact, that's probably what I love most about this book - The story grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go, dragging you down Tense Street and around the corner to hang off the edge of your chair.

When I say I couldn't put it down, I literally could not part with my Nook until I found out what happens next, and then next, and after that.

Kristie Cook is a master of suspense! Also of hot sex scenes, but we'll get to that later. You have to wait ; Right from the beginning, we get that Alexis knows she's different but her ageless and mysterious mother Sophia won't, or can't, tell her about her quirks till she reaches the Ang'dora.

When she mets delectable Tristian in the college library, it gets even more tense and delicious. They begin to date, and try to simultaneously crack each other's hard shells and drop their own guards.

As their fragile relationship blooms, otherworldly threats begin to rain down on them. Tristian is forced to explain to Lexi who and what he is, and in part who and what she is. It is so hard to review some books without spoilers, but I refuse to do it, because I don't want to spoil this trip into another world for y'all. Lets just say the ending was gut-wrenching, ugly cry moment. I loved every second of it I will say that I had this annoying, repetitive thought, and in the spirit of being honest I feel I must say it - Parts of this book reminded me of Twilight, but Alexis isn't annoying and helpless, Tristian isn't an misogynistic stalker, and the honeymoon scene was a total panty melter.

Ok, my dears, I have to go. I have Gensis, the pre-novella to finish reading, and then Purpose to download. Expect to see them here, VERY soon! It was recommended to me by one of the Twilightmoms and I was eager to read it. I didn't have to be disappointed, I really loved this book. It was easy to read, had some cute humor in it and very interesting plot. Meet Alexis - college girl who is constantly on run together with her mother Sophia. Alexis is different, she can heal beyond normal understanding and this is exactly the reason of their running away.

At least that is how it looks in the b This was the first Kristie Cook's book I read. At least that is how it looks in the beginning of the book. Alexis starts studying in new college and meets Mr. Tristan is good-looking, friendly hot guy who is taking an interest in Alexis quite quickly. Alexis and Tristan start to study together and as the story goes, their relationship is becoming more and more intensive.

Then everything changes. Alexis finds out about who Tristan is and even more importantly, who she and her family are. That shocks her and she pushes Tristan away. Alexis is from heaven and Tristan from hell and their story is a struggle between their roots and backgrounds.

I loved the plot! I was really surprised to find out that Tristan knew Alexis from her birth, that he was the one who picked her name and that their relationship and marriage was planned by Alexis' family already years ago. In one way I found it fascinating and it was a twist which I absolutely loved about the story.

Nowadays planned marriages are not something you meet very often, at least not in western cultures. The other thing I loved was that the understanding of Good and Evil was mixed in the characters, especially in Tristan and also for some extent in Alexis. Tristan has won over his dark side and I have a suspicion that Alexis will be struggling with her dark side in the next book. You should be warned - you can simply not put this book away until it's finished.

And the end of this book leaves so many things unfinished and you will be eager to start reading the second book of the series immediately. I have already purchased the next book - Purpose. This book gets 4 stars out of 5. Where on earth did this book come from? It just sort of came out of nowhere and punched me in the face with its complete brilliantness and has left me utterly speechless.

And I mean, I love cliff hangers but this has to be the cruelest one ever. Everything about this book is great. And the heart throb! Tristan Knight is now officially my new favourite literary guy! It just felt like everything about it was written with real class and style. There were some very well written bad guys who were looming throughout the story and then came out with a bang at the end.

Tristan was amazing. His secret was explained nicely and we found out just enough about him every chapter for it not to be too much at once. Tristan and the protagonist, Alexis, were a perfect match, their relationship developed at a nice pace and those bedroom scenes!

I found myself going red and looking around me on the train to make sure no one was reading over my shoulder. They were hot!!! This is a MUST read! I could not read it fast enough. I read Purpose right after it. Review will be up soon! I could not read these books fast enough.

I have no clue why I did not post my review sooner. I think I went on book strike after I read these for a bit because they were so on my mind! Now onto the book! I love paranormal. I love I loved this book. I love ALL paranormal. Guess what? This series has it all! This book made me sit on the edge of my seat the whole way through. Author Kristie Cook sucks you into her world and does not let you go. The world is built inside your head as you read each word, each page, each chapter.

Per the blurb on the back of the book " This book is incredible. The story unravels as Alexis finds out who she really is, who her mom really is and who her hot new boyfriend really is.

Alexis is torn in a million different directions as what is right and what she wants are totally different things. There are some very intense and intimate chapters of this book hot as hell if you must! As Alexis learns why she writes the stories she does, as she sorts through the lies and the new found truth, will she find out who she is meant to be or will she succumb to who she could be. The choice of Heaven and Hell has never been harder.

The characters in this book are so well rounded. They come to life on the pages. Author Kristie Cook makes you feel like you actually know them and you feel everything they feel. It is hard to give this book a good solid review without spoilers.

There is so much I want to say about it but I am unable to as you have to experience the book yourself. Going in, I was skeptical. But I was so so so happy to be wrong about my initial opinion.

Always on the run, her best and only friend, her mother, and her share a close and bonded relationship despite never divulging the truth to Alexis. After her current transition into a new town and college, Alexis meets Tristan Knight, who shatters her defenses, opening up her heart to the possibility of accepting love and herself.

This is one of the most passionate love stories I have ever had the privilege of reading. Strong, confident, protective, intelligent, and beautiful, he captivates Alexis in a whirlwind of a romance and forbidden love that kept me holding my breath through the whole novel. I had to remind myself to breathe as they fight for their love and lives in a unique, NEW paranormal plot.

I believe Ms. Cook has taken the best parts of my favorite books and compiled them together to create the ultimate love story, yet she put her own spin on it, making it one of my favorite novels of all time. Also, writers will identify with Alexis as she is also a writer, on a journey to finish and publish her own novel. The second book to the series is released in December.

The version I read was re-released with better editing and new content. In other words, it as written the way she had originally intended it to be presented. I wasn't disappointed. Promise is a beautifully and well written love story.

Alexis has known she was different all her life. She can heal any wound that she gets almost immediately. Her mother never seems to age. Promise Soul Savers, 1 by Kristie Cook. February 07, Post a Comment.
