Kane Pryce #1
Soul Trapper: A Novel
Kane Pryce knows that ghosts are real . . . and that sometimes they have unfinished business.
Shortly after death, a soul will see a door of light leading to the afterlife. But sometimes, when there’s something or someone still pulling at them, souls turn their back to this door. Instead, they haunt the living . . .
Hollywood native Kane Pryce isn’t your average twenty-something dabbling musician. Yes, he’s an occasional substance abuser with a distrustful nature and self-destructive streak. And yes, most people might take him for a down-on-his-luck slacker. But to those in a very small circle, he’s also known as a ghost-hunting legend. Delving deep into the supernatural isn’t a lifestyle that Kane chose for himself, however; it was thrust upon him when his father vanished under mysterious circumstances. Unbeknownst to anyone besides Kane, his father left instructions to his son that led Kane to the Soul Trap, a powerful supernatural treasure that allows him to hunt down, capture, and send ghosts from the earthly realm to the afterlife.
For Kane, power over the supernatural has come with a price. Despite his attempts to do good with this power, his efforts often leave a path of destruction. So when his paranormal side-job attracts the attention of Eva Kells, a crack reporter intent on breaking his story, Kane is reluctant can he trust her?
Soon, though, risking his heart on a snooping journalist is the least of Kane’s worries. He receives a call from a terrified priest whose church is haunted by the soul of a deceased little boy. Kane takes on the case, but as he begins to learn the strange details surrounding the boy’s death, he realizes that there’s much more at stake than he ever could have imagined. And to complicate things even further, he falls hard for the boy’s mother. The only problem is, she’s been dead for almost fifty years . . .
Nail-biting and darkly humorous, SoulTrapper takes readers on a thrilling ride through the ghostly realm.

Let me do you all a favor...Before you begin reading this book, get your computer and boot up google...(if you're anything like me) you're going to need it. In this book FJ Lennon references things like, "pranic healing", "Hollywood forever cemetery", Aleister Crowley", "Nikola Tesla",(these are just a few, believe me)...these are references to real things, places and people you can google and learn about.
There is also a music component to this book. The main character is heavy in to music past and present. It's fun to have youtube up so you can play the songs he references while reading the book. Listening to the music the main character is listening to while reading it, bring you even more into the story. Its fun.
While I liked the story line because it was unique, and I liked the book because of how inteactive it was, the book is not without its faults. There is a lot of foul language in the book and the main character is a selfish, heavy drinker.
Overall I really liked the book, but it is not a book for everyone. If you're not into paranormal stories, steer clear of this book. But if you like the "ghost hunter" theme...you'll probably really like this book.

Stuck in a reading rut? Try Soul Trapper. It's definitely an escape type of book and pulled me out of my bizarre reading funk. It reads like an episode of Ghostfacers. (I'm referring to the group of paranormal investigators featured on a few episodes of Supernatural.) Too obscure of a description? How about Paranormal State or Ghost Hunters? Anyhow, picture if you will, an episode of one of the aforementioned TV series morphing into a stand-alone novel. And there you have it - Soul Trapper.

I'll give it 5 stars within the context of its genre...supernatural-noir escapism, maybe? Not literature, but fun stuff. It grabs you and holds you.
Check the preview pages with Amazon's "Look inside" and see if it works for you. The author jumps right in and lets the story tell itself, and it just flows naturally. Doesn't need flashbacks or explanations; the background comes out in the context. That's skillful storytelling.
I found it after hearing the author, F.J. Lennon, on the Coast to Coast AM radio show (8/10/12). The book is set in Los Angeles, my home town, so it's a plus that I recognize the local landmarks. It helps the fantasy come alive that it blends seamlessly into the stuff I see every day.

Started this a few days ago and finished it off during my holiday last week. Not keen on the main character at first but then he appears to be redeeming himself somewhat but eventually his temper gets the better of him and he ends up just like he started. Pretty much a morality tale.

I recently finished reading “Soul Trapper” from the up and coming author F. J. Lennon. I have to say I found it to be a fast-paced ride through the annals of the supernatural...
Kane Price, the somewhat unlikely hero in “Soul Trapper” isn’t your regular run-of-the-mill guy. Kane isn’t interested in a corporate job; there’s no long term relationship he’s trying to move forward to the “next step” and he has no plans for his future other than to ensure he survives to see each new day. He loves to play music but his tastes are out of sync in today’s world – instead Kane prefers to lose himself in a sound that is several decades old. He’s definitely a substance user and abuser; he has a suspicious and distrustful nature; an amazingly strong self-destructive streak and to top it all off he’s morbidly obsessed with people who have died at twenty-seven. Being that age himself, and with the life that he leads, Kane has a gut feeling that his life will be over soon too.
I forgot to mention that Kane is also a ghost-hunting legend. Dealing with the supernatural isn’t an easy life style and it wasn’t one that he chose for himself; instead it was unceremoniously dumped into his lap after his father mysteriously vanished without a trace. Somehow Kane’s father must have realized that he wasn’t going to be around much longer but before he disappeared he did manage to leave his son instructions that led Kane directly to the Soul Trap; a powerful item that allows the user to hunt down, capture and send ghosts to their preordained afterlife.
Unfortunately, even though Kane uses the Soul Trap in an attempt to do good, more often than not his efforts leave behind a wake of destruction. Kane’s actions, and the fact that he does occasionally shoot off his big mouth, eventually draw the attention of a well known female reporter. While Kane is a womanizer at least he’s smart enough to know to leave this girl alone. Or is he?
I’m not going to give any more of the story away but suffice it to say that “Soul Trapper” was a roller-coaster of a ride. Lennon is a phenomenal author; his writing style is intense and he definitely has the writing ability to make you feel as if you are personally there watching events unfold.
“Soul Trapper” is a fantastic book for anyone who enjoys the paranormal, supernatural, suspense, mystery or…just a great read. Five stars...

*******This was a First Reads Giveaway***************
Most stories with a ghost hunter theme peak my interest, which is why I entered for a chance to win this book. This was a fast-paced fun read that has two of my favorite things—ghosts and rock ‘n’ roll!
I immediately fell in love with the bad-boy main character Kayne Price. Although he is a ne’er-do-well rocker tormented by his father’s disappearance, he is also a ghost hunter who helps trapped souls take their journey to the other side. I like that Kayne Price lives a rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. Normally when the main character is a ghost hunter or involved in the super natural, he tends to be the scientific, nerdy outcast. This time that role is portrayed by Kayne’s caretaker figure, Ned. So the scientific bases are covered and Kayne is free to be as raucous and hell-raising as he wants to be.
Along with the lovable characters, I think Lennon does a great job of weaving realistic details into his supernatural novel. With a setting like Hollywood, the setting was rich with pop culture references that would keep an inquisitive reader googling for hours.
My only beef with the book is that the soul trap sounds a little too much like a rip off from the trap used in Ghostbusters. In fact, every time I explain the book to my friends, they say “Oh, like ghost busters?”
Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I look forward to reading the remaining books in the series. I would recommend this book.
Thanks again to Good Reads and F.J. Lennon for the opportunity to read and review this book.

The story of Kane Pryce reads a little like a mix between Ghost Busters and pretty much any ghost hunter show on SyFy. The story is riddled with pop cutler references from music icons like Jimmy Hendrix, The Ramones, The Doors, Nirvana, The White Stripes, Eric Clapton to iPhones, iPads and the Olsen Twins; it is all done so well that it fits the story perfectly and doesn't make the story seem dated in any way.
Another cool thing about this novel is that it is loaded with locations in L.A. like Houdini's Manson in Laurel Canyon and the Hollywood Cemetery. As a Los Angelian myself, it's fun to read a story that takes place where you live. You can tell that the author lives in L.A. and has been to these places himself.
Kane is not your typical hero. Kane Pryce is bitter, cynical and snarky not to mention his alcohol and drug abuse. Kane is damaged and tarnished, carrying loads of baggage but he is still lovable and witty. F.J. Lennon pulled off the persona of a damaged hero well, better than Rob Thurman did in All Seeing Eye, and I find myself loving this character more, even with his faults.
This story was done rather well and I breezed through it rather quickly. One of the things that I liked was the unique ending..not going to give anything away, I just found it interesting how F.J. Lennon chose to end the story and that rates high for me.
July 24, 2013
An excellent start to what will hopefully be a long-running series. The plot grabs you from the very beginning and pulls you along on a ride through the secret supernatural side of L.A. Lennon's use of specific real landmarks helps to ground the story in reality, and make the fantastical feel just a little more familiar.
In a story such as this one, with technological devices being so important to the plot, the right mix of techno-babble is paramount, and "Soul Trapper" hits it on the head: enough explanation to make it feel plausible, while still being brief enough to not require too much justification.
Kane is a great protagonist: emotional, complicated, and human. He makes mistakes, is abrasive even on his best days, and seems to have his foot permanently lodged in his mouth, which is why he's so enjoyable as a character. This is no Clark Kent, but a realistic, flawed human being that we can relate to.
The book's end resolves the main plot thread, and nothing else, which is both exciting and frustrating, in that we have to wait for the next book to find out more about Kane, his troubled past, and his uncertain future.

I gave this book three stars for the plot -- The writing is kind of uneven, and the characterization is very weak. The reader is never really sure WHY the protagonist acts as he does, and his motivations for his "love affair" with a ghost are very, very confusing.
Apparently, this man's father invented a "soul trap" which helps lost souls who, for one reason or another, hang around on this plane, rather than entering their "door." The interesting part of the book starts when he manages to trap a soul in a church, only to find that it's a soul of a five yr old boy, who is waiting for his Mother, who told him not to go through the door until she returns. This part of the plot could have been made into quite an interesting story, but the author simply does not have the skills to do so.

FJ Lennon's Soul Trapper is a fun and fascinating reading experience. Told in a first person narrative reminiscent of a 1940's film Noir thriller (think Sam Spade or Phillip Marlow as Ghost Hunter), Soul Trapper starts off as a wild fun-house ride (almost literally) and then slowly sucks the reader (and it's world weary narrator) into deeper and deeper realms of both danger and meaning.
The scenes clip along at a very fast pace (with never a dull or down moment), the writing is crisp and clear, the characters are compelling enough that you want to see them all again (and I hope we do), and the story telling is such that you don't want the tale to end. In fact I found myself unconsciously slowing down my reading as the book was coming to a close, so that it wouldn't end too soon.
Can't wait to read the second book in the series coming out in August.

I couldn't put this book down! I thoroughly enjoyed this book, eager to read on to find out what happened next. Kane Price is a tortured soul, of sorts, a moody musician type who often finds himself at the mercy of his addictions. He is also heir to a contraption which allows him to trap wandering souls and communicate with them before sending them through their door to the world beyond the physical realm. The story is a mystery of sorts, with a scattering of romance (not the mushy sort), action, and fun. I agree with another reviewer- have a computer at hand! I was familiar with many of the references the author made (to Tesla, for example), but wanted to see what the Hollywood Forever Cemetery looked like (lots of cool trivia exists on this place) and reference some of the other things (demons, etc.) that the author mentions. I hope to read the next book in this series soon!

I won this as part of a Goodreads Firstreads giveaway.
I read this book in a day. I couldn't put it down because I kept wanting to know what happens next. Kane is a ghosthunter but not in the conventional sense. He works more towards trying to get ghosts to go to the other side (whichever that is for him). He finds himself wrapped up in the life of a ghostly child and goes to hell and back (literally) to help him move on. The conspiracy theorist in me can't help but wonder "what if." Mr. Lennon made the characters vivid and likeable (or unlikeable in some cases). The story moves at a pretty fast pace. It was refreshing to read a good paranormal book that wasn't about vampires, zombies or werewolves (which seem to flood the market).

I first met this author online via Twitter. Through our discussions I decided that as soon as I saw his book I'd pick it up. Approximately 6 months later I saw it for sale in a local used book store. I read it over the next couple of days, the story is unique with solid character development and a good balance between action and dialogue. Kane Price the main character seems to have almost reluctantly inherited the Soul Trapper device. The way it works and how Kane is able to interact with ghosts/demons through it is unlike anything I've ever read before. I'm looking forward to buying and reading the second book!
November 15, 2012
At first I thought Kane to be a cocky, impulsive guy who just cared about the next big hit - whether it was money, girls or booze... which he kinda was. But after finishing it I think this book was really sweet, well towards the part where he falls in love with Donna. I mean the fact that he goes all the way to hell and back to save her is just so romantic. He's a sexy yet sentimental guy the kind you would rarely ever meet. not to mention that he digs some nice tunes! I guess I'll miss him, he left quite an impression on me.
March 16, 2012
I am not a prim and proper person but the amount of cursing and excessive name dropping distracted me too much and I wasn't able to get into the story. I made it about fifty pages and let it go out of frustration because it felt like something the guys from Ghost Hunters would have written or contributed to. It was such an interesting premise but the way in which it was presented was not matching up for me.
August 12, 2012
This book is full of twists and turns,supernatural powers, lost ghosts and frightful demons. You can relate to the main character, Kane Pryce, his flaws and pain, with the add on of funny references to music and musicians. He started out with a bad history but with the help of an old family friend, he helps rid places of their not so friendly house guests(ghosts). And with the power to help a young and lost ghost, will he chose to help or will he walk away?
July 25, 2011
Wasted time. I was intrigued by the story line, and it was well written; but it went no where for me. Not thrilling, not exciting, no lesson learned other than using my copy for kitty litter. The main character, Kane, was such an arrogant prick he should have died a slow painful death in hell with the rest of the pathetic losers.
December 2, 2012
Reminded me of a minimized Sandman Slim. Raunchy. Punchy. Lots of paranormal elements. Colorful characters. Told in first person narrative with a 1940's film noir vibe. Easy reading. However, it was hard to like this protag. One minute he's a hard drinking womanizer, the next he's battling demons for the good of mankind. Three-and-a-half stars.
December 28, 2014
Whenever someone asks me for a book to recommend, its always Soul Trapper. And I always use the same line - a friend gave me her copy of this book thinking I might like it and she was wrong, I loved it. Cause that is entirely true.
Its fun and creative and so well written that you'll be sorry when you're done with it.
Until you realize there is a follow up: Devil's Gate. Yayyyy us!!

I heard the author discussing the sequel on Coast to Coast and knew I had to track these down. I love the combination of ghosts, technology and rock and roll.
This is a fun read with enough twists and turns and chills to keep you glued to the pages.

Love to see this one become a series. Demons, ghosts, and great music sense. Channeling Tom Dowd for the progressions in Layla from Clapton & Allman. Great stuff!

tortured ghost hunter/trapper falls for a ghost and her ghost child. doomed romance.

Funny! Hard drinking single guy novel crossed with a paranormal adventure/romance. Seemed like an odd combo but he sustained it. Bit heavy handed on the music thing. Liked it, read it in one sitting.

This book was pretty good until the end. If you don't want the hero of the book to really be a hero this is the book for you.

I really liked this. The story kept me entertained and wanting to know what was next. I love that it's all local places. Can't wait for the next one!

GOOD BOOK
August 16, 2014
Within the first five pages, there was way too much swearing. 'F' word used multiple times, among others.
July 21, 2015
This writer tried to hard. I couldn't get into the story at all because of the way Kanes character was presented. Ive never not read an entire book but this one was garbage.
May 29, 2018
Soul Tapper was a rollercoaster ride from beginning to end and was totally not what I expected. I’m not the kind of person that likes the paranormal or read about ghosts, but this book hooked me within the first 30 pages. The book was slathered with pop culture references and had many relatable real-world conversations and situations.
Kane Pryce is a ghostbuster. And he is the kind of guy you wouldn't want to see your daughter around with either. He is a booze-loving, cocky, and overall a jerk who makes a lot of money just by hunting down ghosts and sending them where that need to go, whether that is heaven, hell, or a demon claiming the soul. Kane uses a device called a soul trapper, and with the help of his friend Ned, goes inside the soul trap and actually talks to the souls.
Kane tries to use the device for good, but it ultimately turns around and backfires onto himself. He ends up falling in love. Twice. With a living person and a ghost. And that is a whole different ride within this book. He also doesn't have many friends either, so as an introvert, I related to his character more times than I could count.
I’m not going to talk any more about the story of this book, but it was a very fun book to read. Events happened that I didn't expect, and the book altogether had some pretty cool concepts. I would definitely recommend this book if you are a paranormal lover or even if you need a book with a good story and good humor.
Kane Pryce is a ghostbuster. And he is the kind of guy you wouldn't want to see your daughter around with either. He is a booze-loving, cocky, and overall a jerk who makes a lot of money just by hunting down ghosts and sending them where that need to go, whether that is heaven, hell, or a demon claiming the soul. Kane uses a device called a soul trapper, and with the help of his friend Ned, goes inside the soul trap and actually talks to the souls.
