Review: Severance (Faltering Souls Book 2) by Haven Cage

Available through Amazon and Barnes and Noble

Author: Haven Cage
Publisher:  Haven Cage, LLC; 1 edition
Released: March 11, 2017
Official Synopsis:  
In Severance, a dark, adult urban fantasy novel from the Faltering Souls series, Nevaeh has to face the overpowering gravity of her choice to save those she loves while striving for strength to fight her greatest threat—herself.

Nevaeh Richards makes her declaration. Living a life in which she has few possessions, she sacrifices the only thing of worth she has to offer—what the Dark One wants the most—all for the slim chance of redeeming the souls of George, the man who raised her, and Gavyn, the Light Celata who holds a piece of her heart.

Her gifts are unfurling now, but so is a fierce, unpredictable beast inside her. While she struggles to keep herself—and the beast—in check, she has to play the part of a Dark Celata and fulfill every wickedly tempting task the evil beings command of her. Each mission she goes on, each time she uses her gifts, the line she toes between the woman she used to be and the monster she reluctantly yearns to become grows thinner.

As Nevaeh deals with her own turmoil, Archard watches the world he's accepted as his own begin to suffer for the mistakes he’s made. The sacred laws which segregate the realms and hinder demons from freely moving among humans are less and less effective with each passing day. He’s failed to keep Nevaeh out of Evil’s clutches, and so the shadows of Hell are creeping through. In an attempt to right his wrongs—and heal the hole in his heart—Archard chases his elusive woman, but every lead that should bring him closer to Nevaeh only ends with more questions about who she is, where she comes from, and how to save her—if he can save her at all.

Will Nevaeh survive the soul-severing decision she’s made?

Will those who love Nevaeh survive her?

My Review:
This is book two in the series and it is just as jam pact of thrill, emotions, and passion as the first book, if not more so. The book starts off literally right where the first book ends which is a great refresher if you are not reading them back to back - it pulls you back in and never lets you go until it is finished. I love the fast pace of the events in the book.  There are a few down moments, but Severance is mostly an emotional go, go, go book and a perfect addition to the first book.


As with the first book, Falter, Nevaeh is a strong willed girl who fights for what she believes in.  In book two, Nevaeh is no different.  She tries to save the souls of those that she loves and means the most to her all while trading her soul over to evil.  She puts up one hell of a fight to not let the evil take complete control of her soul, but sometimes the evil was stronger than she was. While Nevaeh is fighting to save her would be father and her friend's souls, Archard, her love, is attempting to save Nevaeh's soul.  It is a battle that is not short lived or easily won.


I would recommend this book and series and cannot wait to see what else Haven Cage has up her sleeve.



About the Author:
Haven Cage lives in the Carolinas with her husband and son. After many years of dabbling with drawing, painting, and working night shift in the medical field, she decided to try her hand at writing. Unfortunately, her love for books came later in life and proved to add a healthy challenge during her writing journey. Determined to hone her craft though, she soaks up as much information as she can, spends her free time tapping away in her favorite local coffee shop, and keeps a good book in hand whenever possible.

What began as a hobby has grown into a way of escape and the yearning to take her journey farther, her love for writing and reading deepening along the way.


I give this book:  ★★★★
