Rate this book
Puppet Soul is the second book of the Soulless series. It's a Fast-paced Paranormal RH Romance set in a dystopian world.

After Arc and Dimitri’s departure, Lola finds herself spiraling. Why are they taking so long?

Between the both of them, they should be unstoppable.

They know leaving Lola alone with Carter isn’t a good idea...Will the two of them even be able to get along? Good thing Marcus is here to smooth things out. But how long until Lola and her Angel inevitably clash?

Especially since he can’t seem to stop himself from digging into stories from the past.

Stories that have been forgotten for millenia...

Stories both Hellrisers and Divines worked hard to erase from the collective minds.

And Carter isn’t ready for what he might learn.

Literally screamed YEAAAA when I saw this in my email. I AM TREMBLING

I was given an advanced reader copy in exchange for a honest review.
Oh, where do I even begin with “Puppet Soul”? Let’s just say it was one of those rare 5-star gems that made me question my life choices for not reading it sooner. I’ve been shouting from the rooftops, or at least my living room, to all my bookish friends to dive into this masterpiece of a series. Even if you’re not a fan of the “why choose” trope, fear not! The plot is so gripping, you’ll forget all about it. (Disclaimer: I’m a reverse harem enthusiast, so my opinion might be slightly biased, but hey, who doesn’t love a good love triangle… or pentagon?) and the title itself is a bit of a Easter egg for the plot! 🤭
As I flipped through my highlights and notes, I found myself scribbling things like “Oh my gosh??” and “HUH??” more times than I care to admit. I was practically glued to my seat, heart pounding and trying to consume words faster than I can. Carter’s character development was nothing short of magical. I mean, I couldn’t stand him in the first book, but by the second, I was head over heels for the oversized pigeon.
We get to hear from four out of five of her mates, finally peeling back the layers on some of these mysterious characters and diving deeper into others. And let’s talk about the plot twist! It was like a rollercoaster for my emotions. I had a serious grudge against one of her mates, but by the end, I was doing a complete 180° and swooning over him again. I’m on the edge of my seat, hoping all six of them will be in the same room in the next book. But let’s be real, if they are, it’s probably going to be more of a bloodbath than a tea party. (I am so here for it)
Now, if you’ve read my first review (which is a must-read, by the way), you’ll know Dimitri was my favorite. And he still is! I can only compare him to Ariete from “Heavenly Bodies”—both are deliciously evil BUT for good reasons. Dimitri’s devotion to Anastasia is like a fine wine, getting better with age, and we get to uncover more of their tantalizing past. Anastasia’s backstory was handled with such finesse that I was left in awe.
Flashbacks are usually a no-go for me, but in this book, I devoured them like a kid in a candy store. Each one was a puzzle piece, hinting at a bigger, more exciting picture. Overall, “Puppet Soul” was just as phenomenal as its predecessor, and I’m counting down the days until I can reunite with these characters in “Hunted Soul.” Until then, I’ll be here, impatiently twiddling my thumbs and re-reading my favorite parts.

✨️ARC REVIEW✨️

I smashed this read out in 2 days, I couldn't put it down...it absolutely captivated and devoured me!

Continuing on with Lola, Arc, Carter and Dimitri's story (MCs) as well as the other characters, that come along for the ride! The growth of the characters, the relationship building and banter, their stories, their world, was ABSOLUTELY amazing and the continuous plot twists that had my jaw hitting the ground! Honestly you think you have it figured out but you really don't!

If you haven't jumped into the world of Divines and Hellrisers then this is your chance because it does not disappoint and is an EPIC read!

4.25⭐️

Nooooo I just can't believe what my eyes have read. That ending😭😱😱😱😱😱 Didn't see that twist coming. He is/was my favorite main character.

So this book was a bit slower paced than the first one. I like that Lola and her angel got some time together. There are a lot of secrets and mystery unraveled around Lola. I am really liking the plot but I had some hard time understanding Dimitri's actions in the end. Like why would he torment all those beings and cage them? I think I need to reread the last chapters again. I am a bit confused.

Loved the friendship with Marcus. I think he is a great side character who I like to see more of in the next books. Please don't kill him🫣. Also loved the girls and it was really nice to get to know them better and their background story.

The only thing I found weird was when Dimitri wake up after being in prison, Lola waited to the next morning to asked what happened and were Arc was. I found that such a strange reaction.

I am excited to continue this series and hope Dimitri is redeeming himself🥰

oh my god!!!! what was this? what was that ending? i have no more words 🫠
definitely a 5 ⭐️ read for me, this book was amazing. i inhaled it. i loved seeing snippets of Lola's past and i am so excited she got to develop her relationship with Carter 🥹
the book was very well written, the snippets from the past also added depth to the story and made the characters more relatable. you understand why they made some choices.
i loved every word of it.
and i loved that ending. although it threw me off. the entire book i was so sure i knew who the villain was, could not understand his motives, but i was so sure i knew who he was. and then, bam! here come the last few chapters when my world was turned upside down 🫠
i still stand by what i said for the first book, Dimitri is still my favorite, now more than ever 🖤

Where do I even start?
I have been looking forward to this ARC ever since I signed up and oh my days it has not disappointed (not that I thought it would).
The way it had me gasping, shrieking, laughing and all the emotions in between is incredible. This book will be a part of me now - and yet I have to wait so long for the next. When can I sign up for the next one?
My mind has been blown. The spice was PERFECTION. Every scene and every moment was just beautifully written. I loved it. Thank you for letting me a part of this amazing story. In awe. Truly.

ARC Review – Puppet Soul (Book 2) by Laetitia Aldin

Puppet Soul picks up immediately where Book 1 left off, and I loved every single second of it. From the very first page, I was fully invested again.

I absolutely adored getting snippets of Lola’s past when she first meet Dimitri. Even though I thought I was prepared for the reveals… I definitely wasn’t. We learn so much about who they truly are and how Lola’s journey began, and it added incredible depth to the story.

The relationship Lola builds with Marcus was beautifully done, and I have to say—I’m a huge fan of Maggie 🥰.

Carter, though? His scenes had me laughing out loud 🤣. I loved watching his growth—especially when he finally pulled his head out of his ass, accepted that Lola is his mate, and decided to actually build something with her.

“You and I both know that going straight from enemies to lovers was what awaited us. Friends were never in the cards. It’s all or nothing, my depraved little mate.”

The spicy scenes were🔥🥵. Intense, emotional, and perfectly paced.

And just when I thought I had things figured out—the twist. And then another twist.
OMG. I genuinely did not see it coming. The ending completely 💥 .

We’re also introduced to new side characters from Lola’s past, and meeting her fourth mate was a total shock—I never saw that coming either.

This book delivered on emotion, spice, character growth, and jaw-dropping surprises. I’m officially obsessed and desperately need the next book.

Thank you so much to Laetitia Aldin for the opportunity to read this as an ARC 💜

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
2.5 🌶️

What a way to start the new year, this was my first book going into 2026 and it has set the bar so high. When I received the email for the ARC read of this book I may have screamed with excitement, and jumped around the room. I finished it in just a couple of days after recieving it, however I needed a couple days to recover from it before I could bring myself to talk about it.

Puppet soul is book 2 in the Soulless series following Tortured soul. It follows Lola a 1500yo succubus and her mates, Arc, Dimitri and Carter ( 2 other mates yet to be seen) in a post apocolyptic world of Angels and Demons

Book 2 gives us little glimpses into Lola's past, showing us how her and Dimitri meet with well placed flashbacks that reveal a lot more than I was expecting, and shows us how they have become so close, and shows us a bit more about how she became Soulless.

We get to see many of her relationships progress from her growing friendship with Marcus, to her steamy relationship with her mates. In particular her relationship with Carter, which started off a little rocky in book 1. Arc and Dimitri are concerned about leaving Lola and Carter alone, not sure if they with rip each other to shreds or just their clothes. I loved seeing our Virgin MMC learn more about himself and his mate which makes for some super spicy scenes 🔥

We are introduced to other supernatural beings and side characters, as well as another mate (mate 4) who I absolutely cannot wait to learn more about in book 3.

The story then had me spiralling, I had made my mind up as to what I thought was happening, to find out I was completely wrong. The plot twist at the end, I could not have predicted, which just goes to show how well written this book is. This book is complete perfection, the story has me hooked and the spice is just right for the story and written so well.

I can't wait for everyone one else to read this book and fall in love with the characters too, so they can also be sent into a headspin from the plot twist. I'm looking forward to discussing it fully once it's released and I am already waiting (not so patiently) for book 3

i just arc read this book and devoured it in about a day. i thought this was so good, and im so upset about it being such a long series!!

i do think i enjoyed the first book more, i would give this 4⭐️ compared to the first book’s 4.5⭐️.

the beginning of this book was a little bit too slow for me. the relationship the developed between carter and lola feels a little rushed to me. to have so many more books, and with the hatred that they had, i think more time could’ve been spent developing them. however, i am coming to love the broody (but secretly happy) carter.

dimitri and arc in this book, i can’t even talk about it. the plot twists, the unexpected, just everything we know about these two is ripped apart in this book. i need to know more immediately.

we also finally get a little bit of insight into nomin, and a sprinkling of blake there in the end.

overall, i would recommend continuing this series, and am excited for future books to come out!

I was lucky enough to be an ARC read for puppet souls, and oh my god—she’s done it again. I devoured Puppet Souls in under 24 hours, and I’m officially left desperate for the next book. My love for Lola and the guys only grew deeper, and the twists and turns completely left me mind blown.

That ending was incredible and left me dying and ready to sell my soul for the next book once again. I really did fall in love with the cinnamon roll who turned into a villain. I still can’t believe it. I am absolutely not over that ending.

This world is absolutely beautifully written and has such an addictive storyline. I can’t wait to see what happens next. If you love paranormal, why choose and a fmc that takes no nonsense from anybody, including her faded mates, then this is the book for you.

3.75-4 ⭐️ | So glad to be back in this world and with these characters!

We pickup right where we left off with Arc and Dimitri gone and while I hated that they weren’t around for half the book, we instead got to witness Lola really develop her relationships with Carter and her friends.

I did find that the info dumping in this one was a little too repetitive. I also wasn’t a fan of the flashback scenes. Again world building is the issue here, but what we did learn explained a lot, although confusing at times. But man that ending? I truly wouldn’t have guessed it because I was too busy trying to understand the lore instead of focusing on context clues.

I CANNOT wait for book 3 and to learn more about Normin and Blake. I also see us going to Hell in future books so hoping that the world building issue gets solved before we get there.

Thank you to the author for the Arc!!!

I cannot express my excitement about seeing this ARC in my inbox this morning! This series has me locked in, from start to end. I’m not sure when the next book will be available but I physically cannot wait.

Laetitia Adlin knows what they are doing. The story building was incredible and the spicy scenes were just as delicious (I cannot think of a better word). The magic system is rooted through the entire book, and each chapter pieces together the story but still surprises the reader.

I would suggest this series to anyone that loves a why choose, angels and demons, kickass FMCs and possessive men.

I’m now going to slip into a spiral of thoughts around everything that just happened…it may take a while to recover…

Well Laetitia....you have done it again!! I could not put this down and finished it in two days!! You had me all in my feels and the twist?! Chefs kiss!! I did NOT see that coming! Just like last time I am kicking myself for not trying to take my time while reading this so I wouldn't have to wait so long for the next book! But....with a good read I just had to devour it!!

If you haven't started this series you are seriously missing out! The FMC is a total Badass and the spice is just oh so nice! I am so happy that things progressed with her and Carter as well! But for real, this book had me loudly expressing my feelings to the point my husband had to ask if I was okay...I am not okay!!

Girl....I NEED MORE!!

First book of the year and wow it’s kicked the year off to a great start 😍😍😍😍

🖤ARC Reader 🖤

I couldn’t put this book down, I was reading it in my lunch breaks at work.

When I got that email, I was so excited to get back into the world of Lola, Dimitri, Arc and Carter. When I tell you this book will keep you guessing at every turn, it was exhilarating. The plots turns were so unexpected and not gonna lie but I didn’t see a single one coming… 🤭
Carters growth and development was impeccable throughout the book and I fell in love with him even more.
I also how we get little snippets of Lola’s past and a better understanding of who she is (she’s a badass btw).

The ending….. omg my heart broke for Lola 🖤

I seriously can’t wait for book 3 🤩

The book started a bit slow, continuing to give information with flashbacks and building the story. More questions to the story arose but some questions from the first book were also solved. In the middle of the book the pace started to pick up. I though I had figured out the story but I did not see the plot twist coming! The story keeps unfolding and I am still exited to continue following Lola’s journey. I am both upset and exited that the series is going to be 6 books because it means that I most likely will have to wait a long time to know all of the answers to all of the questions I have, but it also means that much of the story remains and I probably have no clue what is going to happen.

Wow....I was lucky to be able to read this early and I am both glad and sad I did. I love this series. But I am sad I have to wait for book 3.

I really enjoyed how this focused a lot on Carter and Lola, but I did wish Arc was in it more, though I understand his purpose for not being present. I think if he had been rescued earlier then Carter and Lola wouldn't have really been given the proper time needed to bond with each other.

Don't get me wrong, the storyline is great. But I am so disappointed with the twist with Dimitri. I really hope that eventually he will be able to redeem himself. it was only a matter of time before his true madness started to show.

Poor Marcus though. Hopefully he will eventually get some happiness tossed his way.

October/November cant come soon enough!!!

Seriously… Laetitia Aldin can write some damn plot twists because holy moly I did NOT see the end chapter coming. As soon as I received this ARC, I put my other books aside and read it because this series.. this series is the one yall!! If you want dark romance, reverse harem, extra spicy, bully trope, touch her and 🔪 trope.. this is it!!! Lola is a bad•ss FMC who will do anything to be with her mates and I mean ANYTHING. This book was a 10 star read and probably the best thing I’ve read in awhile. Seriously amazing work!!

Book two blew my socks off. It’s hard to explain without spoilers, but there are twists and turns throughout the whole book. I’m sad that there’s not much of arc in this one, but Dimitri is still god tier book boyfriend, the dedication to my girl is what devotion looks like. But this book one 100% gives the “It’s easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission” vibes. And Carter ooo weee! Sassy little angel is so precious. The plot twists at the end are crazy upon crazy you wont see coming. Buckle up buttercup, it’s a wild ride. The wait for book 3 is going to be torture.

We finally continuing the story about Lola. I really liked this read. The beginning was a bit slow but the ending make up for the first part of the book . I expected more actions, I would have loved to discover more of Lola’s power . Finally the relationship between Carter and Lola evolved even if he is still a douch we love him for it. We missed Arc in this book, and Dimitri even with the ending is still my favorite !!
I am looking forward to see the relationship with nomin in the picture and Blake coming soon I want to know more of them !

Nauseous. I am nauseous. This book was so so cruel. Carter and Lola basically get this book to themselves and magic happens. The heavens open and the angel screams in pleasure hahaha and then and THEN. WHO DOES THAT?! THIS IS THE BAD PLACE I NEED BOOK 3 SEND HELP IM NOT OKAY. I will be crying from now until then so basically dont talk to me.

Thank you for the gut punch and nausea also known as this ARC Laetitia Aldin

I loved every minute of this book! You have character development, questions answered from book 1, plot twists, banter, spice, and new questions when it ends! It’s still fast paced just like the first book too! I literally could not put it down!

My fav quote from Lola:

“Because we needed a plan, right? Heading inside headfirst and killing every hostile person on sight was only plan B. Maybe even C if Marcus was to be listened to. What a killjoy.”

Can’t wait for the next book!

Arc review. The pacing of this book is so slow. I enjoyed the plot of book one, and the introduction and back story of the characters was well established. But I think this would have been better if plots of book one and two were combined. Book two solves none of the problems that were created in book one and adds even more issues. The pace of these books is so bogged down with drawn out scenes that barely contribute to the plot that we loose how interesting this world is.
