Soul to Steal is the second book in the From Smokeless Fire series, and it does not disappoint. First, I would like to recommend that the series be read in order in an effort to facilitate better understanding. Now, having said that, Zahara is definitely something else. You will enjoy her antics as she goes about living her life to the fullest even when it’s not in a manner that everyone thinks it should be. This is a light-hearted and fun read, enjoyable by those who are into mythology and some paranormal. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

I really enjoyed going through this sequel, I had enjoyed the first book in the series so I appreciated going back to this world. the characters were great and I really felt like they were real people.

Soul to Steal is such a fantastic read, I love a fantasy that takes you on such a trip as this book (and it’s previous volume does) the author’s writing style aisles wonderful, such a way with words that create such clear images. The banter between characters and dialogue is just so funny, I highly recommend to fantasy lovers everywhere!

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Soul to Steal by M. A. Guglielmo, a fun light read second in the series about jin and ghuls with their mortal descendants when someone is trying to cause trouble.

Soul to steal was a fun read, it is the second instalment Of the From smokeless fire book series. And I loved the main character Zahara. A 125 year old jinn, who is very headstrong. The story has a nice plot and there is probably going to be a third book in the series that will hopefully unravel all the secrets that are still kept from us!

Four and a half
I really liked this instalment as not only do we get magic and mayhem but the relationships build. It's fun, it's edge of the seat at times but most of all I enjoyed how the various relationships added so much to this book. Zahara is riding a creator discovery, Daniel is using his computer skills in unexpected ways, there's the possibility of Zahara getting married and new and very interesting characters introduced. Yes I recommend this book but think the series needs reading in order
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

Easy to read,, "Soul to Steal" is a fantasy tale that takes the reader on a journey of discovery. The characters are all very relatable, and even though the "non-humans" in the story have human traits, the many sub-plots, twists and red herrings make the entire story compelling. I found myself drawn into the centre of the story, and discovered that I really DID want the "good guys" to win, and for the forbidden romances to finalise into relationships.
The descriptions are very detailed, painting mental images that run the gamut from terrifying to "too-cute-to-handle."
I hope that this is just Book One of a series, as I am really looking forward to reacquainting myself with these awesome characters. This is one book that I highly recommend to fantasy lovers everywhere!

M.A. Guglielmo’s novel, Soul to Seal, is a light-hearted, fun read which should appeal to older YA readers. The story begins in Summoned (#1 in the series) in which Daniel Goldstein, a Jewish gaming designer, is told by his grandmother’s ghost to summon a jinn to save the world from fallen angels. He ends up with a supernatural party girl, Zahara, who’s actual form (when she’s not dressed to kill in human clothing) is a cuddly kitten with wings. She introduces Daniel to her friend, Zaid. The battle continues as she meets Harut, one of two fallen angel brothers. Marut, the other brother, wants to destroy humankind. The four, along with forces they’ve gathered to their side in Summoned and later in #3, Price to Pay, combine forces to battle the angels and Zahara’s father, who’s united with the bad guys. The dialogue is zippy, snarky, and laced with sarcasm. It was enjoyable to read a paranormal book with new-to-me Middle Eastern mythology.
