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

Rated 4.5 Stars

Soul of the Stone was absolutely amazing. It was packed with adventure, action, some suspense and a whole lot more. It was epic. I loved it. I loved this portion of Raven's journey. I loved seeing her grow and coming into her own. I also loved watching the changes that Khamari underwent. This joy was an absolute joy to read. I couldn't devour it fast enough. Man, oh man I can't wait to read the conclusion. Do yourself a favour and go read this series. Don't sleep on it because it is awesome. I very highly recommend it.

Between the Egyptian/African-American lore mashup, the vampire/slayer lore depictions, and the constant pull between Khamari and Raven, I couldn't flip the pages fast enough to see where things would end. Raven is trying to figure out her powers, the insecurities that come with it, and everything in between.

I can't wait for the next in the series.

This is Book 2 in the American Slayer Society series. Texas has been through a lot. She found out that she was lied to by everyone she loves. She doesn't care that it was "for her protection", they took her choice from her. Now, she has to deal with all the consequences. She's been training and preparing for the fight of her life, to save the world, just as all slayers before her have. She's become closed off, angry, confused, and resentful. Khamari has been trying to give Texas her space. He's full of regret, longing, sadness, and yet he still has hope. These two really need to pull their heads from their bottoms and I'm not the only one who thinks this. Throughout this story, they are repeatedly tested and placed in impossible situations. When will they figure out that they're great together? Will it be to late? Can they learn to forgive each other for things that happened in the past? I'm here for the ride. The side characters are pretty funny and help these two knuckleheads through their shenanigans. I can't wait to read more in this series.

Raven’s slaying game just leveled up in Soul of the Stone!

She’s kicking butt, wielding her new powers like a pro, but the emotional baggage? Yikes.

Between black-out rage, voices from a creepy stone, and some serious vampire drama, our girl’s got a lot on her plate. 🍽️

And, of course, there's Khamari—the vampire prince who’s way too hot for her peace of mind.🔥

Their enemies-to-lovers vibe? Chef's kiss. But trust is in short supply, and saving the world together? Uh, yeah, that complicates things.

This sequel takes a deep dive into some epic vampire lore, with vibes straight out of African and Egyptian mythology. Raven’s not just fighting vampires—she’s battling inner demons, family betrayals, and the literal fate of humanity. No pressure, right? 💀

With sassy banter, heart-pounding action, and a love story that'll leave you screaming for more, Soul of the Stone is a wild ride from start to finish. If you thought Sign of the Slayer was intense, hold on tight. This one will sink its teeth into you and won’t let go! 🖤💥

Egyptian mythology and vampires!

Raven, now known as Texas, is dealing with a powerful stone full of one hundred souls. These souls talk to Texas and drive her slightly crazy. Her mission is to get the tablet which will help end the evil Alexander once and for all. The souls want to help her with her mission but she gets pulled into the Underworld and has to face Egyptian Gods who will weigh her heart. If she’s found worthy she may just survive.

Likes/dislikes: I like the fact that there’s much less swearing in this sequel so there’s more room for character development and world building. I enjoyed the main conflict with Egyptian mythology. I found the Underworld very interesting.
Mature Content: PG-13 for sex.
Violence: PG-13 for bloody stabbing.
Language: R for 122 swears and 4 f-words.
Ethnicity: Khamari is Jamaican. Predominantly Black.

ARC Review of Soul of the Stone by Sharina Harris
* * * * *
A series that has me wanting to dive right into the beginning, and go back over all the drama and thrill. Thank you to Netgalley for providing a copy!

You got your spicy MCs packing that forbidden fun as vampire slayer is against vampire, and that's just the cake. We got the frosting and sprinkles of action, drama, trauma and betrayal from those around her. Hello Khamari, you've been a bad boy to our FMC. She's already got a lot on her plate! Dealing with new magical abilities on top of trust issues ain't fun! It's okay, we get a few steamy moments where that chemistry just pops up.

Definetely going to need to dive into the first book as I need to get more context. Especially from that cliffhanger!!!

This is the sequel to Sign of the Slayer and continues right where it left off. Raven/ Texas is on a mission for the Emerald Tablet. She must learn to work past her trauma, embrace her slayer role and new powers, while still working with Prince Khamari, the vampire, and his betrayal. The character development is full force, and the enemy to the lovers vibe is prominent throughout.

There is plenty of world building, nonstop action, and romance to keep you entertained. The African and Egyptian history, vampire/ slayer lore, description of the underworld, and world building help the reader delve deeper into this world.

The ending was left on another cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see where this story leads next!

Loved the FMC she’s doing her best trying to figure out her new powers and how to get rid of the enemies. The storyline is great and there is enough action to keep the story interesting. Along with Texas my second favorite character was Rose her personality is just amazing.

I really enjoyed the book and felt the characters were all well developed even the villains of the story.

Thanks to Entangled for the arc copy!

This was a great sequel , personal I think it was better than the first book. I felt like the story flowed nicely and I really enjoyed the last third of the book. It was much more action packed and I enjoyed the main characters relationship arc

“Soul of the Stone” is the highly anticipated sequel to Sign of the Slayer, picking up seamlessly from where the previous book left off. This installment takes a deeper dive into Raven, also known as Texas, and her team’s journey. As Raven grapples with her role as the Slayer, she must also confront the complexities of her new powers, past traumas, and lingering self-doubt. Her relationship with Khamari is particularly compelling—while their love runs deep, trust remains elusive. The tension between love and betrayal adds an emotional depth to the story, keeping readers engaged.

One of the strongest elements of Ms. Harris’s writing is her vivid depiction of the underworld, infused with Egyptian mythology and African American culture. These rich cultural layers enhance the world-building and give the story a unique flavor that stands out in the young adult genre.

The character dynamics are equally well-crafted, with banter that feels authentic to the characters’ age group, making this a relatable and entertaining read for young adults. The witty exchanges between the teens and their elders provide moments of levity amid the darker themes.

Overall, Ms. Harris has delivered a captivating sequel that not only lives up to the promise of the first book but also leaves readers eager for what comes next.

Thank you to Entangled Teen and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

4.25 stars

Soul of the Stone is the propulsive next novel in Sharina Harris’s The American Slayer Society series. It picks up where Sign of the Slayer left off, with protagonists Texas and Khamari grappling with the fallout of their actions.

Typically when I read a series with an overarching plotline, the sequel can feel like filler. I’m happy to report that Soul of the Stone does not suffer from this narrative pitfall. Harris once again brings her signature wit and humor, clever chapter headings, and understanding of the paranormal works that came before to craft a continuation of an enthralling story.

I’m a little mad about the cliffhanger of an ending, but that’s only because I would stake a whole army of evil vampires for the next book. If you’re looking for something that is the perfect blend of PNR and fantasy, with a strong female protagonist who understands the assignment, this is the book for you.

I’m waiting with bated breath for book three.

Great sequel to the first book. The stakes are higher than before, and it was a fun read. The slayers are preparing for another battle with Vampire Alexander. Texas is trying to understand her new powers and deal with heartbreak from the betrayal of her ex boyfriend. She must fight against the darkness inside of her , while trying to save the world .
