Summary
Set in the same world as Faith Hunter's New York Times best-selling Jane Yellowrock novels, the third, thrilling Soulwood novel stars Nell Ingram, who draws her powers from deep within the earth.
Nell Ingram has always known she was different. Since she was a child, she's been able to feel and channel ancient powers from deep within the earth. When she met Jane Yellowrock, her entire life changed, and she was recruited into PsyLED - the Homeland Security division that polices paranormals. But now her newly formed unit is about to take on its toughest case yet.
A powerful senator barely survives an assassination attempt that leaves many others dead - and the house he was visiting burns to the ground. Invisible to security cameras, the assassin literally disappears, and Nell's team is called in. As they track a killer they know is more - or less - than human, they unravel a web of dark intrigue and malevolent motives that tests them to their limits and beyond.

Immersive.
You really get to care for Nell Ingram and the people in her world. Nell is growing (a pun there) and is starting to be scary strong. More books to come, I'm sure. No annoying cliffhanger though. I'll keep following this series. Unreservedly recommended.
Khristine Hvam - wonderful narration as usual.

Decent but not the best
I had really liked the previous 2 books in this series but this one though good seemed a bit below par. It took far too long to get going - nothing really happened for the first 6 hours or so then we had a decent action section but too much personal waffle around "the church" and Nell's struggles with who she is, and what to do about a couple of potential boyfriends - thats all a bit tedious and not at all racy.
Still its OK if you like the books by Faith Hunter and worth listening to but I hope the next book in the series - if there is one - is a bit more dynamic
Khristine Hvam is on her usual form though - she could make a phone book worth listening to.

Brill! A wonderful progression of the story
Oh this is good! Nell is a fascinating character, and her development over this book is a joy to follow. She learns a lot more about herself here, and develops far, far more than I expected - she’s one powerful lady!
Her relationship with Oakum (as I hear his name) develops here, but in an extraordinarily chaste way, compared to the average Urban Fantasy novel. It is, maybe surprisingly, all the more powerful for that slowness. To be sure, there’s a bit of church meddling that tries to put a spoke in that wheel, and push Nell to making a choice on where her life is going, but for me at least, the eventual direction was never in doubt. I just love the “properly improper kiss” that lurkes throughout the last half or so of the book!
The other characters are less featured, just voices in the background at times - I don’t think Tealane (I’m only an audio reader, so I have to guess at names) does any magic at all here. I worry about Rick, was taken aback by the very sudden appearance of another of whatever it it Pia is (my brain’s offering grindylow, but that looks just wrong!), and it’s equally sudden disappearance, and I liked that the story was allowed to unwind at the end, with loose ends, such as the vampire tree, and Mud’s future, being tackled.
This is a fine third installment of a very fine series. The ending would allow it to be the last, but I hope it isn’t. I’ve rooted around Ms Hunter’s website for clues, but it’s probably too close to the release of this one for future plans to be announced. There’s a serialised story on how Oakum (or Occam) gets his name, but it’s buried in a tour blog, so you have to be determined to get at it.
Well read, with the various characters kept clear and distinct. She does "church" speak really well!

Five stars as you would expect from Faith Hunter
If you haven't read books one and two of the Soulwood Series don't read this one first. This is an excellent continuation to the series. Strong characters and a reasonably complex story line.
Nell Ingram and her PsyLED - the Homeland Security division colleagues are called in when a powerful senator and his extended family come under attack. Complex and malevolent baddies who dealt justice in a Faith Hunter way. Nell's side love story goes though many trials and tribulations.
I love the fact that there is a side comment about something that is happening to Jane Yellowrock and Leo Pellissier, Vampire Master of the City Obviously something we will read about in book 12 of the Jane Yellowrock series - can't wait!!
First class story and characters as always.
