My Soul to Lose by Rachel Vincent

Summery:
It was supposed to be a fun day, shopping at the mall with her best friend. Then the panic attack started and Kaylee Cavanaugh finds herself screaming, unable to stop. Her secret fears are exposed and it's the worst day of her life. Until she wakes up in the psychiatric unit. She tries to convince everyone she's fine--despite the shadows she sees forming around another patient and the urge to scream which comes burbling up again and again. Everyone thinks she's crazy. Everyone except Lydia, that is. Another patient with some special abilities....-Goodreads.com

Review:
I have heard a lot of mixed hype in regards to Rachel Vincent's Soul Screamers series. So, I thought I would download the prequel novella, My Soul To Lose for free (you can do so here), and read it before purchasing the other two books in the series. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. The psychiatric hospital setting reminded me of my psych rotation in nursing school, and made me wonder what kinds of things those patients were thinking, feeling, and living. However, I digress...Vincent portrayed a rather interesting story. That, coupled with Ink and Paper's interview of Vincent, I am compelled to read further and have ordered a copy of My Soul to Take and My Soul to Save.

Cover Art Commentary:
The color is rich and the font matches the rest of the series. Other than that, there isn't really a whole lot that grabs me. My Soul to Lose isn't available in book form, just downloads and ebook form, so the cover is more for show, so I don't mind its blandness too much. :P
