Borrowed Souls isn’t set to release until May 2, but we have a shiny, hot-off-the-presses advanced reading copy (ARC) for one lucky person. In fact, it’s so special that it’ll also be signed. Double win, right?
For those of you who haven’t heard me talk about it, Borrowed Souls is a gritty urban fantasy with a heroine who gets blackmailed into acting as a repo woman for people who don’t return rented souls. Oh, you read that right. Also: I promise there’s a hot dude on a motorcycle.
Since I wrote the book, I’m a little biased. So I’m going to share what some other people you know have said about the book so far.
New York Times Bestselling Author Darynda Jones: “Snappy, snarky, and oh-so-sexy, Borrowed Souls is one for the keeper shelf! It’s the stellar writing and sharp storytelling that makes this book a standout hit. Trust me, one-click the heck outta this s#*T!”
New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Lauren Dane: “Chelsea Mueller’s BORROWED SOULS is do not miss, fantastic urban fantasy featuring a unique world and complicated characters.”
Bestselling Author of the Rylee Adamson series Shannon Mayer: “Mueller’s debut will leave readers reaching for the sequel. Gritty realism, pitch perfect characters and a heavy dose of red hot sex. What more could you ask for?”
JC Daniels, author of the Colbana Files: “Gripping…BORROWED SOULS sucked me in from the very first page and didn’t let go.”
Amanda Bonilla, author of the Shaede Assassin series: “Fans of UF aren’t going to want to miss this debut novel by Chelsea Mueller! The world building is rich and vibrant and the characters are multi-dimensional. The story is faced paced and engaging with tons of great action, snarky dialog, and just enough steamy romance to make it well-rounded story. If you’re a fan of the Alex Craft series by Kalayna Price, or the Mercy Thomson series, by Patricia Briggs, you’ll love BORROWED SOULS. I can’t wait for the next installment!”
Kelly Meding, author of the Dreg City series (note: Three Days to Dead is on sale right now): “Fun, heartfelt, and wildly creative, Borrowed Souls packs a new brand of punch in a debut urban fantasy with a soulful twist on magic. Determined heroine Callie Delgado will do anything to save her brother from the mob, including a deal with a devilish man, and working with a brooding stranger who is sin in a leather jacket. Author Chelsea Mueller brings a new and exciting voice to the UF genre.”

I so look forward to your book. Currently I’m reading the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson and then I’d like to read The Turn which will probably result in a reread of the Rachel Morgan books. 🙂
Just finished fever song, love, love, love. Starting the turn next. I know that was supposed to be the last of fever, but I hope not. If she will keep writing I’ll keep buying!!!
