"In reading this fabulous book, I admit that it was hard to put it down and go to sleep at night. The story line was interesting and the story itself was amazing... it made you wonder if anyone in the world could ever have such a fantastic journey. There were also heartwarming moments that touched me deeply, these included the bits of poetry that Pappas wrote!
The book certainly has it moments of suspense along with a bit of gore but it doesn't go "too far" or get absurd in the descriptions. The location being in Maryland adds to the reality of the story, especially for me - a local resident!
The ending is not what I had expected, but I won't say what or how to avoid giving it away. Believe me, though, the book is definitely worth the read!
If I were to rate the book on a 1-4 star basis, 4 being the highest. I'd definitely rate it a 5+! Yes, one step above good. The book is well written. It is a heart-felt story of love and possibilities. And then some! I highly recommend it." --

"I finished reading SoulBound and wanted to write to let you know I thought it was terrific! It was also terrifying! It would make a great horror movie." -- Julie Betz
"The last 30- or 40 pages of the book kept me glued to my chair, and the ending was so unexpected that I was taken by surprise (I can usually see these things coming a mile away!) Well done, Greg Pappas! Enthusiastic TWO THUMBS UP!!!!! Cant wait for #2! " -- Karin Hernandez/DailyReadz
