Alina Chase has been trapped on an island for the last seventeen years, constantly under the watch of an ever-changing parade of guards. Her soul once belonged to the notorious criminal, June Calahan, who committed the unforgiveable sin of hacking into the database that tracks the souls and then destroying lives in her wake. Alina merely wants a chance to be free. Will her three rescuers help her find freedom or trap her in a prison of a different kind?
SOULPRINT is an intellectual thriller, based around technology and the concept of reincarnation. Megan Miranda does a great job at making the science behind SOULPRINT and the database sound quite believable. The mystery builds slowly as the pieces begin falling into place and I love the finale as it is fits the characters and the storyline so aptly.
Alina is an intriguing heroine and I couldn't help but hope and cheer for her! Would she be predestined to follow the same actions of June or can she change fate this time around? I love Alina's quest to be her own person rather than just the shadow of June as it adds a very human element to a story centered around technology.
SOULPRINT is a fascinating science fiction romance that explores the concept of whether one's personality and actions are predestined. I haven't read any prior books by Megan Miranda but will definitely have to try some of her other books soon. Young adult readers looking for an innovative and creative approach to reincarnation will enjoy SOULPRINT.
Book Summary
Seventeen-year-old Alina Chase has spent her entire life imprisoned on a secluded island—not for a crime she committed in this lifetime, but one done by her past self. Her very soul is like a fingerprint, carried from one life to the next—and Alina is sick of being guilty.
Aided by three teens with their own ulterior motives, Alina manages to escape. Although she’s not sure she can trust any of them, she soon finds herself drawn to Cameron, the most enigmatic and alluring of the trio. But when she uncovers clues from her past life, secrets begin to unravel and Alina must figure out whether she’s more than the soul she inherited, or if she’s fated to repeat history.
This stunning “new world” romance from acclaimed author Megan Miranda will leave readers wondering how far they would go to escape the past.
