I was afraid that The Last Soulkeeper would deliver everyone’s death, except one: Hope’s. You have no idea how happy I was reading the final line for this book. It was somewhat perfect, but it made sense for me to want a 7th book. I hate saying goodbye, to either people IRL or characters I could relate to (kinda hard, cause I’m not a supernatural being!), so you can imagine how I felt when it ended.
Lost Eden blew your mind, didn’t it? The Last Soulkeeper will keep blowing your mind with each page being turned. I’m glad to state there will not be more deaths , redemption is right around the corner. Labyrinths will sure made a hell of an evening. And the Challenge will favor the good, as always. Yup, you were already expecting that!
This final installment will be just as exciting as the first book and the ones after that!. It will, too, offer a glimpse of 8 years into the future (YAY!!). You will manage to say goodbye once more, or for the first time.

First off, I wish it didn't have to end!!!!!!
I have been in love with this series since the day I found book one and one clicked it for free, every book pulled me in and made me anxious.
You feel EVERY emotion while reading this series, I've cried, been angry, confused, happy, and all rolled into one at times. Which means, this is a damn good series and I am so glad I found it.
This was the perfect conclusion to this series, it definitely lives up to the rest of the series. I was biting my nails all the time, talking to myself in my head with worry and cursing the bad guys every step of the way!
Read this whole series, you will not be disappointed. G.P is an AMAZING author, her writing is phenomenal and it takes hold of your heart and squeeeeeeeezes until you feel like you're there with them!
Amazing! Thank you for such an amazing book and a series that will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Wow what an ending! I was really afraid quite a few times that things were going to go sour, even though I knew they couldn't really..
The characters really came together as saviors in the end, and I was happy to see a lot of the different endings for each one. The only one that had me questioning was Bonnie's end.. Because it reminded me too much of her fear (won't say more due to spoilers!).
Anyhow, it was a fun book, which captivated me throughout the entire thing. I devoured it!
Very happy to have finished this series, and will always keep an eye out for this author.

I started this series maybe 2 years ago and I think I stopped because the releases took to long and I kind of fell off interest for the plot.

I hope I remember to get back into this because it was actually a great YA para. series.

I've just finished reading all six books in The Soulkeeper series. It took me about a month to finish reading them. I'd already read the first three but wanted to read them all again, back to back.
Please note that this review is based on the books in their complete entirety.
I just adore the series & I know in years to come I'll probably re-read yet again & enjoy just as much. The first three books in the series were probably my absolute favourites, but the last three books and how it all ends certainly did not disappoint. You can definitely lose days reading these books, the whole concept of good versus evil & the seemingly endless & ongoing battle between God & the Devil is so thought provoking & relevant & I think that all of the characters, no matter how far-fetched some of their powers & challenges are, are still relatable.
Book 1 - The Soulkeepers (5 Stars)
A fabulous introduction to the series with Jacob as the main character throughout. I loved how the town of Paris & its inhabitants were portrayed... Small town, small minds & all that jazz, definitely great at setting the scene & pace of the story. I loved the mysteriousness of Dr. Abigail Silva & how her relationship with Jacob developed. I also liked the connection of the soulkeeper DNA with the story of Adam & Eve, it was very cleverly portrayed & offered deep insight for those who were looking for it. I immediately liked Malini, she seemed like an old soul, kind of born before her time, even in the beginning. Abigail & Gideon's history & consequently their love story cemented the book as a 5 star rating.
Some of my fav snippets from Book 1 -------------------->
"Across the street, the Victorian loomed black and blue, a bruise on the horizon. The wind rattled the ivy on the fence and knocked some icicles free. They fell like knives, slicing the snow-covered yard. Dead leaves swirled behind the wrought-iron fence. For a second, just a fraction of a moment, Jacob could've sworn he'd seen a face staring at him through the front window. He closed the garage door and hurried inside."
"I did the best I could to bury him. It was probably not deep enough. Not as deep anyway as they bury you in a cemetery, but he was my first grave. I buried him in the fall. The ground froze over that winter and I trudged through the snow to visit his grave. In the spring, I was ecstatic to find a sapling growing there. I knew then that his blood had unlocked deep magic."
"She says that God allowed water to flow out of the Garden of Eden, to reach the descendants of Adam and Eve. Only the ones who were pure of heart, who genuinely wanted to rid the world of evil, could see and drink the water. Those people who drank it experienced changes. It altered their DNA. I am a descendant of one of those children. Actually, more like two or more. See, the gifts were lost -- like recessive genes -- as the sons and daughters married normal people."
"I guess there are three types of Soulkeepers. There are Horsemen like me who are supposed to battle evil, like soldiers who protect humans. There are Healers that fix things, cure people and situations. And then there are Helpers, who serve the other two by getting them what they need. My gift, as far as I know, is that I can control water. I guess that's a Horseman thing, a weapon."
"Evil things can get to our side. This is the part that I never really bought into. She says there are fallen angels among us. She calls them Watchers. Says they come to steal people's souls from God. That's why I'm a Horseman, to protect people's souls."
"The fallen ones are not of this Earth, Malini. They are under it. They live in a land of illusions, a land that is not with God but is a spiritual realm bound forever to this Earth. They live in a land where God sent Cain when he cursed him to wander. They live in Nod. They are connected to all living things through their wrongdoings. Sin attracts them. Why was the serpent in the garden? The woman brought him there. She was already thinking about taking the fruit; angry with God for the rules he had given Adam. Her pride opened the portal in the tree. She invited the serpent."
"Everyone is guilty, Malini, of something. The Watchers choose the important ones, the ones whose taking will leave a bigger space in the garden, so that more weeds can grow. They leave the weeds."
"So, it seems like you are doomed to experience one more form of hell today," she said softly. Then she held a hand out toward Gideon. "Witness, the curse of the angel who fell in love with the Watcher."
Book 2 - Weaving Destiny (5 Stars)
This is pretty much Malini's story & discovery of who she is & where / how she fits in with the team of Soulkeepers. It also introduces Mara & Henry - my two favourite characters of the whole series (along with Abigail & Gideon of course). Another 5 star rating!
Some of my favourite snippets -------------------->
"Because it taught me the power of my gift. I can stop time, Jacob. If I wanted to, I could walk into a bank and take all the money out of the open drawers. I could move someone I didn't like in front of a bus. I wear the SpongeBob pajamas so that I remember how it felt to watch someone I thought I wanted dead plunge a knife into her chest. I didn't like it, Jacob. SpongeBob reminds me to live by the rules even though I don't have to."
"What you are about to experience is both truth and illusion, the in-between world and the magic of the stone. Make no mistake. If you die on this journey, you die in real life and nothing can bring you back. Follow the path. Face the three challenges and return here before the stone turns black. Or don't, in which case I will say my goodbyes now. Goodbye, Malini."
"Those black eyes began to burn and in them she saw all manner of death: Fire, pestilence, war. They were like Fatima's eyes, windows into the history of the world, but with a much darker view."
"Destiny is not a place that we navigate to like a pinpoint on a map. Destiny is a fabric woven from our choices. It is the cloak we wear everyday and the shroud that covers us in our death. You can't wait for destiny to find you. You make it for yourself."
Book 3 - Return to Eden (5 Stars)
This is probably my favourite book out of all six books! I just completely adore the story of Mara and Henry. It's truly magical and precious. I literally lost days whilst reading this book, it completely enthralled me. A 5 star rating all the way!
Some of my favourite snippets -------------------->
"Silence wedged itself between them, but it wasn't because there was nothing left to say. The words that waited in the corners had sharp edges. Words like that could do permanent damage if flung too hard at the one you loved."
"I have been time for over two thousand years. You might say a change was in order." He chuckled. "But that would not explain why I chose you. It's true I'd heard of your love affair with Death and if I were a sentimental old fool that might be reason enough. I am not. Love is fleeting. Immortality is not." He stopped swinging his blade and met Mara's eyes. "You cannot quit being Time because you break up with your boyfriend."
"Time, Death and Fate are forever linked to each other, and have been friends of God from the beginning."
Book 4 - Soul Catcher (4 Stars)
This book pretty much centred around Dane & his growing relationship with Ethan. I admire author's who write about real-life issues & I empathised for Dane because he felt that he couldn't tell his parents/family/friends that he was gay. I think he must have felt very alone until he found Ethan, even amongst his soulkeeper friends. This book also introduced a new soul keeper called Cheveyo. I feel like I couldn't really connect with Cheveyo in the same way I had with the other characters & he was probably my least favourite character of the series.
Some of my favourite snippets -------------------->
"... have no doubt that in the future, the laws that criminalise so many forms of human love and commitment will look the way the apartheid laws do to us now -- so obviously wrong. Such a terrible waste of human potential... And never let anyone make you feel inferior for being who you are. When you live the life you were meant to live, in freedom and dignity, you put a smile on God's face. --Archbishop Desmond Tutu."
"Yes, he'd done some things he wasn't proud of, and this cage was good at reminding him of those things, but his true gifts shone like stars against the backdrop of his past. Right now, he couldn't waste another minute on the darkness."
Book 5 - Lost Eden (4 Stars)
Rest in Paradise Master Lee... Farewell to Abigail & Gideon :( they leave behind their daughter named Hope. Goodbye to Eden also...
Some of my favourite snippets -------------------->
"Those who choose evil must see the darkness for what it is, and those who choose good must know walking in the light does not come easily. There is a price, a responsibility, that comes with knowing the truth and having a heart of peace and love."
"Courage is useless in the absence of anything to be courageous about."
Book 6 - The Last Soulkeeper (4 Stars)
Oh my goodness, what a finale! I loved the relationship between Bonnie & Archangel Cord and I was really pleased with how the series ended. I didn't really have any inkling of how it would all come to a conclusion, G P Ching kept me in suspense until the end. I also really liked the epilogue, although I almost choked when I read "8 years later," thinking no please don't ruin it!!! I especially enjoyed the introduction of the Wicked Brethren and the play on the seven deadly sins, pretty clever :)
Some of my favourite snippets -------------------->
"The seven Wicked Brethren were cursed to be the vessels of the seven deadly sins. Pride, lust, wrath, gluttony, sloth, envy and greed. All of their selfish wickedness multiplied exponentially upon their fall and populated their seven bodies with these vices."
"Maybe it's time for me to let it go," she said. "The you I hated does not exist anymore. I'm in hate with a ghost."
"All humans are made from God. They come from God. Each is a gift, just like me. But like me, some are disconnected from the piece of themselves that is eternal. A human soul is an ancient powerful thing. Cut a person off from their soul, and you make them a shell whose only purpose is their current unremarkable existence."

I actually really like this series and have read through it more than once. YA books are fun and easy for me to take a mental vacation. This series takes a lot of ideas from the biblical apocalyptic literature, and particularly the Enochic tradition, and projects them into a literal modern day battle between good and evil using relatable, fun teenage npc characters. They're developed enough that you get a feel for their background but not overly so. I really like these books, but there are some things that other orthodox Christian parents may not want their kids reading because it could be confusing. The characters of God, Fate, Time, Death etc are theologically problematic for many reasons, but taken at face value as a sci-fi series not intended by the author to be Christian as such, they're a great read and ching captures a lot of imagery from the book of Revelation and 1 Enoch. In this day and age, using Christian and biblical imagery in literature at all is a pretty bold move. Well done!

With the war between Lucifer and God, the Soulkeepers think they finally found their position in the war. But Lucifer is angry with the absence of Cord, his right hand man. Lucifer hires the three brethren, the biggest and most deadliest watchers of them all. With the Soulkeepers put back in the shadows, a new healer is born. This shifts the tide of the battle helping the Soulkeepers get their foothold back into the war. With Lucifer and God neck and neck to win the war for the human souls, who know who will when. Read the book to find out more.

The challenge between good and evil is over and I’m conflicted. This was a good series. I think I read the first few books 2-3 times,mostly to remember what was happening in the previous book before reading the newest one. But even though it was good, it was not memorable. It’s enjoyable but I will probably forget about it by next week. I’m not sure if I would recommend it, yet I wouldn’t say it’s bad.
March 25, 2017
I read all 6 books in a week they were amazing, I couldn't put them down I was so caught up in each of the soul keepers lives and what they went through. I cried and laughed. I just couldn't stop and write an individual review for each book because I had to get to the next book! You have done an amazing job,

Soulkeeper Series
I LOVED the entire series! This is one that I will re read over and over again. Well worth the time and money spent. The only thing better would be to have these in hardcover.

A great ending to a really enjoyable series.
I bought the first book because I remember it was pretty inexpensive and I needed something new to read, I don't think I actually picked it up until a few months later and never looked back. The great thing about this book (and the series in general) is that is packed full of action, the pacing is consistent and you always feel like there is something going on. The way the characters were brought along and developed was done very nicely. I really love the overall message and and the writing in general.
I have to say, if G.P. Ching doesn't have some background in theology I would be very surprised, because everything seems to tie in and it is all extremely well researched.
I really recommend reading these if you want something fun and action packed, I also really enjoyed Chings book 'Grounded.'

Overall, a really great YA series. If you are put off by books with core monotheistic plots, this is not the book for you.
It was interesting to read the main characters different perspectives regarding their purpose in life and even questioning themselves and the reason they exist.
I enjoyed it despite being much older than the target audience...so much so that I read all 6 over a weekend. One feature I especially liked was the book discussion questions - very thought provoking.
I teared up several times throughout the series - that is not typical for me. Yes, the writing style is simple but it's written from the perspective of YAs for YAs so I can overlook that minor flaw.

Just read the entire series and loved it. The end was nearly perfect though I wish Bonnie could have had a better ending, it seemed as though her fears came true but she was content with it. Aside from that this was one of the best endings to a series that I've read. From book one it just got better and better. You got to see the characters grow and learn how to work as a team. Overall great work G.P. Ching

I'm so sad to come to the end of this series, amazing books, this is the kind if series you wish you hadn't read yet, just so you could experience them again, the last soulkeeper doesn't disappoint, as they come to the end of they're journey, they all have tough choices to makes, there is so much uncertainty for the soulkeepers, epic ending!!

So said that this series has reached it's end. I enjoyed each and every character and their lives together and the strength and courage they brought each other. I will most definitely have my daughter read this series when she is older in hopes that she takes the great lessons that I have. I would recommend this book to anyone at any age.

Its rare to find a series with over 4 books, let alone 6 and still be Great from beginning to end. The author G.P Ching did not leave a sour taste in our mouths. In the contrary, we finished full, happy & with only good memories.
In the end, all who know good from bad. Those with a genuine good heart. Eventhough imperfect, are The Soulkeepers.

Can't explain how good the book is
My words won't even explain how amazing this book including the whole series was. Once I started on the first book I got so glued that I would read each book in one day. I would recommend these books to everyone. The amount of compassion, empathy, love ,teamwork just was wonderful and how each book ended was speechless. -Brittaney-

So sad for this series to end!!!!!! I just loved the good vs evil. God vs Lucifer. Light vs dark. Love vs hate. I skimmed thru some parts at the end because I just had to know the ending!!! I went back and reread and just love this series. Great ending. Little disappointed in one point BUT death has to happen

I don't know what it is with this series. It contains all the things I usually enjoy - supernatural powers, heroes and villains clearly drawn, angels and demons - and yet here we are in book 6 and I remain indifferent to the fate of all the characters. Possibly too many protagonists but whatever the reason this series has been a struggle to finish.

A great ending to an overall good series. Despite moments of awkwardness in characters' gestures as well as several minor plot holes, the overall storyline of this series is entertaining enough to overlook these problems. Would highly recommend this series to any fan of YA fiction, especially if you are also a fan of the Supernatural TV series.

Loved all six books
This is one of my favorite series I ever read.
It has some Really great moments.
And this last one kinda went quick to read
But then again, it was a part 2 to book 5 and I’m just glad I read it all again
