Interesting concept and a quick read. While I enjoy this author's work this was not my favorite novel. I liked others much more.

In this novel twins prey on people who are attuned to the paranormal. They are soul eaters which allows them to inhabit a body and exist for nine years. At that point they must find another individual who is attuned to them and lure that person into their attic. The novel has several incidents of victims who lose their souls to the twins with slight differences in how each is captured. To say more about this read would divulge too much so I'll end at this point. Suffice it to say that the ending leaves the author room for a second novel.
