Summary on Goodreads:
It’s been a year since Ivy’s boyfriend, Tristan, died. They’ve both moved on—Tristan to the other side of the afterlife, and Ivy to sweet, dependable Will. Now Ivy’s heading to Cape Cod, hoping to leave the horror of last summer behind. She wants nothing more than to lie on the beach, sip lemonade, and hang out with her friends. But then a car crash ends Ivy’s life. As she floats to the beyond, looking down on the life she’s left behind, Tristan breathes life back into her with a passionate kiss. She wakes up in the hospital, surrounded by Will and her family, but all she can think about is the love that she lost. But memories aren’t all that’s come back from the past. And this time, Ivy’s not sure love will be enough to save her.
My Thoughts:
I was looking for a new book to read at our local bookstore when I first spotted this book. I was very much captivated by it's beautiful art cover but I admit, the ratings on Amazon didn't impressed me at all. Still frustrated in finding a good book, I asked my Facebook friends and one suggested "KISSED BY AN ANGEL". This was first published on 2008, has two sequels entitled "POWER OF LOVE" and "SOULMATES". But then just recently, the author published the fourth book, as a sequel to a supposedly trilogy novels. I immediately grabbed a copy of all four and believe me, I finished them in less than a week!
This series may not be as great as my top favorites, but I really really enjoyed it. You'll love the characters. There's adorable Philip, and Tristan, and Will. You'll feel the drama and the suspense as you read them. You'll sympathize with Ivy's emotions--the pain of her lost is still there as she struggles to move on without Tristan. If you are a fan of supernatural romance books, then maybe you'll enjoy this series too. No vampires, no werewolves, and no zombies on this story, but there are angels! And you'll love them both.
I think the author has done a really good ending in Soulmates that it can actually end that way. It was very well wrapped up, until you read Evercrossed. Then you'll realized that there is so much more in this series, and the story is becoming more complicated than ever. There are new characters, some are annoying, and some you'll gonna love. And though I'm not fond of Ivy's character in the previous books, I begin to like her in Evercrossed. And as for Tristan, he's always a sweetheart as ever. I know most of you who have read Kissed By An Angel, probably loves Will, I do too! I just felt sad for him because he's been kinda jerk in this sequel. Nevertheless, I was thrilled to meet this new beautiful boy, "Guy" as they called him (real name is Luke). He's adorable and funny at the same time. I don't blame Ivy for falling for him. And since the story is quite predictable in a nice way, whatever it is that happened to Tristan, I'm sure you'll figure it out soon :) I'm totally Tristan all the way!
I definitely recommend it but I'm warning you, expect for a HUGE cliff hanger ending!
