Soul Journey follows Annisa a "normal" teenage girl who finds out she is a witch on her 16th birthday and some how her new neighbors Chase and Penelope and her boyfriend Landon have all been connected for centuries!

Before Annisa turns 16 her boyfriend Landon has a streak of control and possessiveness; the way that Annisa handles it was mature and I wish every 15 year old girl had the confidence to tell Landon what he was doing wasn't cool and he needed to stop! This made me feel connected to Annisa on so many levels!! It was so refreshing to see a girl put her foot down and demand some respect!

I really enjoyed the authors take on magick in this story! So many teen books leave out the adults and I loved that the adults were guiding figures and played a huge role in the plot! The way the author introduces the magic using the parents was so refreshing! Also refreshing is the mention of teenagers having sex. . . . GASP. . . I know, I know teenagers NEVER have sex.... sorry lots of sarcasm in that last sentence! The characters talk about sex but not in a way that younger teens cannot read this story. It was done very well!

When I learned that Annisa and her friends had lived many past lives I was ready for some historical flashbacks or just some general history threaded throughout the book and I was a little disappointed that there wasn't but that may because I am a huge history nerd! I also wasn't a fan of some of the moments when these kids acted a bit TOO mature. They are still kids and I was looking for more naiveté from the characters.

Overall this book was so much fun to read! The romances were swoony, the world building was great, and the characters had depth and were well developed for the most part. This is the perfect read for and lover of Fantasy and Young Adult Fiction.
