Raven's character in "Soul of the Stone" is deeply complex, burdened by anger and resentment that threaten her well-being and relationships. Her internal struggle is sharply depicted as she battles the voices in her head and the darkness within. Watching Raven's anger poison her connections is both compelling and difficult.

The narrative follows Raven and Khamari on a perilous journey through the Underworld, where they face numerous trials that test their bond and fortify them for the battle against Alexander. This second installment challenges readers' beliefs and emotions, especially those who, like Raven, grapple with holding onto hate. It is a profound exploration of letting go to achieve personal growth and healing.

Fast paced and well developed. I loved the storyline and the continuation form book one. I enjoyed the characters development and maturity more in this one. I also loved the vampire x vampire hunter forbidden vibes.

I loved the first book because of its action packed nature; I really felt the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Fullmetal Alchemist intersection. The Soul of the Stone has a lot of exposition without the action that made me fall in love with the series. While I still enjoyed the book, I wish there was some balance between the two. However, I appreciated how Harris extended the lore of the Stone and set us up for what I know will be a phenomenal third book.

I love the writing style of Sharina. I think I always have trouble with the slang and "current" phrases that are used. They always tend to make me roll my eyes but other than that I think the characters are very nostalgic to me do to her references for them. I will say that I enjoyed this book more than book 1. There was more character development and more action to carry the story.

Soul of the Stone is the sequel of Sign of the Slayer by Sharina Harris. After everything happening in the first part I was really looking forward to reading this second part as well. How will Texas cope with being the Maximus? What adventures are waiting for the slayers?

This book has a double POV which makes you get to read both Texas' story as well as Khamari's. Khamari is now king and Texas is now the maximus. They are enemies, but what if faith keeps bringing them together? In this book Sharina Harris takes the readers on a trip to the ancient Egypth.

This book features a forbidden love as well as a little love triangle. Are you Team Anton or team Khamari? Both sides really seem to work out for Texas, but will she follow the rules or her heart? Will the Egypthian adventure change anything to this romantic outcome? Or will the voices of the stone get to much for Texas to love?

Sharina Harris really wrote an amazing story. I really loved the vampire vs slayer storyline, but also the enemies against the gods. The story has a really smooth flow making this book such an easy read. I really enjoyed Soul of the Stone. I really hope the next part won't take long before release, since I am really curious about what else there is waiting for Texas. I give Soul of the Stone a 4 star rating.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc!

This was a solid second book in the series! Picking up right where we left off with Texas and the fight to kill Alexander. I still love this unique vampire world and these characters and can’t wait to read more.

Ugh, how did I know that Sharina was gonna do us dirty like that at the end of this book?! And I'm so sad that we have to wait for the next one, but so excited for what's going to happen with Khamari and Texas.

Soooo, on to the book. This one continues from the first book left off. Texas, feeling betrayed by Khamari, tries to push herself into finding out how she can kill Alexander, and save humanity. I love that throughout the book, Texas always give everything her all, no matter what she's doing. I feel like she has so much power that she hasn't touched yet, but because it's dark in a way she's hesitant, though I think that may be a part of the key to defeating Alexander. And Khamari, while he makes decisions before thinking them through, I love that he's a solid MMC. From the beginning he's been in love with Raven/Texas, but to protect her, he erased her memory, but now he's trying to sacrifice more to help her cause and save his brother. I just wish that they would get on the same page, which I'm hoping will happen in the next story.

I guess, I'll be tapping my feet impatiently patiently waiting, lol

I loved how this picked up pretty much picked up from where the first book ended. I really enjoyed seeing Raven “Texas” go after Alexander and to see her story continue with Khamari. The trials were a little ehhh for me, but it was a cool concept and was needed for the story. Overall, I enjoyed the first book a lot more but this was still a fun, easy and interesting read!! The concept of this story & the first book are super unique, I don’t think I’ve read another vampire story like this before, so that was really cool! If you vampires, powers, action and a bit of romance then this series is for you! I look forward to the next book in this series to see what happens next. Because that ending was….wow, not how I hoped it would end but still made a good ending and the perfect set up for book three.

I went into this book wanting to love it as much as I did Sign of the Slayer and it delivered on some parts.

The book picked up where we last saw Texas and our other characters. The first half of this story answers some burning questions while also adding new mysteries. Texas and the other character's banter was just as good as book one and I laughed out loud at her quips and internal dialogue.

The second half of the book shifted a bit for me. The story felt jam packed and hard to follow at times. It felt like as though I was trudging through the book instead of enjoying the journey because I was trying to keep up and make heads and tales of the lore being introduced. Overall this book was good, gave a few answers, and prepared readers for the next book in this series.

I’m curious to see how this all ends and whether the occurrences in this book are permanent! I was not expecting that ending!

I really enjoyed the take on vampire slayers in Texas’ story. Can’t wait to see what comes next.


Thank you Engangled and NetGalley for my earc in exchange for my honest review

This was a good mix of history and fantasy, without getting bogged down by too many details. I loved the banter and humor and it kept me coming back for more. The characters feel authentic and is felt a connection to them and I enjoyed watching them grow.

This was a great second book that captivated and made me to keep reading.

Summary: Raven is a vampire slayer who is determined to adjust to her newfound power as the Maximus (the most powerful slayer in her community). While coming into her powers she struggles with loss, her role, and the impending doom of her people when Alexander the Great, the resurrected vampire king returns and is determined to recreate society in favor of vampires. Will Raven rise to the occasion and overpower this threat to humans and slayers?

My Opinion: I loved the mixture of real life history and fantasy at the start of this book! The snarky humor kept me giggling throughout the book while the chaos of this universe kept me turning pages as I went on and on in the story. Not only did I love how Raven was growing into her power and struggling with her own inner issues/feelings. The action and the intertwined navigation of personal relationships really kept me reading as it totally felt like I was rewatching Buffy The Vampire Slayer all over again. This was definitely what I felt was a coming of age story. If you love supernatural/paranormal reads this is definitely an interesting book to check out!

Thank you to the author, Sharina Harris, for bringing this story into the world for me to read and to the publisher, Entangled Publishing for helping her produce it! All opinions in this review are entirely my own and I was graciously given this ARC by the publisher via Netgalley.

I was super exited for this book! The first one had me strapping in and holding on for dear life. This one made me grab the handle and praying to anyone that would listen! I am an love with this series and the characters are absolutely perfect. Book two picks up right after book one and does not disappoint. I will be reading this one again and again

SHARINA 👏🏾 HARRIS 👏🏾 DOES 👏🏾 IT 👏🏾AGAIN!!! Thank you @netgalley and @entangledteen for the opportunity to read this beauty before it released!

I loved so many things about this book! The conflicting romance, the Egyptian history, the mythical creatures, the action!!!! So many things!

Texas is STILL that girly, and I am always drawn to her unseriousness in serious situations. She is me, I am her! 😂

I also love how deep the trials were that she and Kahmari had to go through. These Egyptian gods were really out here giving life lessons. Read those kids just like Iyanla! I found myself saying “oof, life lessons”, and “me too girl, me too”.

I knew by the way the story was progressing in the last few chapters that would be a third book. But, whew, I wasn’t expecting the cliff hanger to leave me hanging like thaaaaaat! 🫠 I love it! We need more!!

This is the sequel to "Sign of the Slayer" and takes Raven (aka Texas) deeper into her role as a Slayer. She faces immense pressure, dealing with family betrayals, new powers tied to a mysterious stone, and her intense connection with Khamari, a vampire whose kiss could either ignite her soul or break her. The story blends Egyptian mythology and African American culture with classic vampire lore, creating a unique and engaging world. The action is relentless, and the enemies-to-lovers tension between Raven and Khamari adds emotional depth. With vivid world-building and well-developed characters, this book leaves you on a cliffhanger, and I am eager for the next installment.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to NetGalley, Sharina Harris and Entangled Publishing for this ARC.

Soul of the Stone is book 2 in the American Slayer Society series.

Texas - Raven - is having difficulty embracing her new powers and she still hasn't forgiven King Khamari for his betrayal. But when they need to work together to bring the Emerald Tablet from Egypt, they finally realise exactly how she feels for him.

I enjoyed reading this book and getting to know more about the lore and also the Egyptian gods. I wanted more of Texas and Khamari but still what we had was amazing! The ending had my heart racing and not entirely what I was expecting.

📖✨ Just finished Soul of the Stone by Sharina Harris (Soul of the Slayer Series).

Raven aka Texas and the team regroup in Georgia after the conclusion of book one. Raven must understand the voices and learn how to protect herself. Alexander is still a threat and the mission for the Emerald Tablet has begun. The tension between the slayer and the vampire is real—they’re at odds but have no choice but to follow the same path to retrieve the tablet. Will their old feelings derail their mission? ♥️💥

I loved the banter, plotline, and worldbuilding throughout. Raven finally starts to embrace her powers and role, and the ending? Absolutely action-packed and incredible! 💥🔥 I can’t wait to see where this goes next!

Soul of the stone was such fun. I loved the sassy writing style from the first page.

This is the sequel to Sign of the slayer which I haven’t read but it does give you some details to catch you up. It’s probably best to read these in order as it’s a continuous storyline.

Our main characters is a vampire slayer, Raven/ Texas. She’s on a mission to find the Emerald Tablet. She has to work through the betrayal that happened in book one and ‘trust’ the support of the vampire prince.
What could go wrong?

The Soul of the Slayer series will have another book continuing the story. There is only a couple of months between the last two releases so fingers crossed this one won’t be long.

If you’re looking for a vampire slayer fix, this is the book for you. It’s sassy, enemies to lovers romance and has kick ass action.

Vampire fiction for young adults.

This one was a lot more interesting for me! I really liked the threads of Egyptian mythology that took over the storyline here, and it felt like we got to see a lot of growth for Texas, too. Khamari gree some too but it sort of felt like he was being stubborn the whole time.

Facing new dangers and powers , Texas and her team of Slayers and vampires work against Alexander. But as they hone their powers, he reveals more of his. This was an action packed and emotional ride.

Raven/ Texas’s story continues with Kamari in this sequel. The action just keeps going and I liked it a little more than Sign of the Slayer. I still feel like there are some little gaps in the story progression, but overall better done. The world building just keeps going and we get some very important character growth as they further develop their powers and the way they harness them
