There are so many layers to the plot which were continually revealed, with each character desperately trying to hide their dark secrets. Every character was perfectly created with such intriguing and realistic personalities. I simply adored the supportive and loving relationship between Mason and his sister, Mikey. I also liked the complex relationship between Mason and Trick as they rebuilt the trust issues between them. The investigation process was filled with tension and suspense which definitely made this story completely nail-biting. There are so many twists and turns throughout and many of the main characters could have been implicated in the crimes. However, the final plot twist was absolutely amazing and completely took me by surprise. I highly recommend Lost Souls; you will not be disappointed.
