For some it takes a lifetime to discover their raison d'être. Imagine searching for eight centuries. In 1997 Philadelphia, 800 year old vampire Valéry Castellane comes face to face with his reason to be, in the person of Angelina Lacroix, a young mortal woman whose understanding of immortality is about to change all he's known as truth and which will take him, and his readers, on a journey into the human soul. Discovering a mortal who not only senses his presence, but also somehow knows his name, Valéry becomes obsessed with solving the mystery of how this might be. Confronting the girl, after learning she has knowledge of his entire existence, he is stunned and frustrated when Angelina seems more intent on convincing him that he's not the soulless monster of myth than she is with providing an explanation. Unable to take her life or give her immortality, Valéry embarks on a journey with Angelina that doesn't only take them from Philadelphia to his childhood home in the Provençal Alps, but on a journey into his greatest hopes and dreams, fears and disappointments, and into the strange and frightening past that shaped him. A novel about faltering faith and never-ending hope, On the Soul of a Vampire will not only alter everything you think you know about vampires, it will change the way you see your very soul.Book I in the On the Soul Series.

Awesome Indies Book Awards is pleased to include ON THE SOUL OF A VAMPIRE by KRISI KELEY in the library of Awesome Indies' Badge of Approval recipients at http://j.mp/AwesIndBk073This is a different kind of love story. An in-depth exploration of theology and faith, ultimately leading onto the path of forgiveness and loveonly, from the perspective of a confused, embittered, centuries-old vampire who just might not be soulless after all. The destination of reality is brought to light by a mortal who sacrifices everything to show him this path, because of her great love for him.I was very much engrossed in the reading of this story. From a personal preference, there were
I think this book suffers from an identity crisis. At least I had a problem figuring it out. I chose it because one of my groups, Christian Readers, picked it to discuss. So I was under the impression this was a Christian fiction novel. I was late getting the book but I thought it might be something along the lines of SUMMA ELVETICA. Maybe a discussion of how or if a creature like a Vampire could have a soul or reclaim it. This is not a normal vampire book. It is not a romance. It don't believe
If you want a fun and easy read, this is NOT it. I was expecting a fun and simple entertaiment kind of vampire romance novel, but this book was not any of that. This book will make you think more than it will make you feel. It was complex novel that dealt more with a vampires struggle to understand his existence and moral/ethical dilemma of his nature as a predator.I have to admit that I had a really hard time getting into this book. I was well over page 100 before I started to somewhat like the
On the Soul of a Vampire by Krisi Keley, is an intense, deep and intriguing book. It delves into the life of an 800 year old vampire called Valery. The story is told from his point of view. It reads like his telling from a journal perspective. We get a very in depth description of his thought and feelings; perhaps a little too descriptive for my tastes but it works with this book.In this book Valery comes across a young woman who is very strongly drawn to. The woman is Angelina. She has dreamed
This book is not like any other vampire book Ive readIt takes the reader to an 800 year journey through crucial events of a vampires life, inviting to an emotional and philosophical analysis of them. And even though its from a vampires point of you, it can very well be applied to any human being (in this story, a vampire is a human being whose priorities have just changed).Although it was not very easy to read (many times it made me think: analyze myself and beliefs), it was intriguing and kept
WHOA! I started this novel without really knowing what to expect. (It was a generous gift from the author, who's a Goodreads friend --but that didn't prejudice me in her favor. :-) ) Keley is a first novelist, with no prior track record; and I knew the book was self-published, and hence not vetted. What I experienced absolutely blew me out of the water; I was totally hooked and mesmerized practically from the beginning. The author handles words with an authority and skill almost unheard of in a
