About this listen

Set in the same world as the New York Times best-selling Jane Yellowrock novels, an all-new series starring Nell Ingram, who wields powers as old as the earth.

When Nell Ingram met skinwalker Jane Yellowrock, she was almost alone in the world, exiled by both choice and fear from the cult she was raised in, defending herself with the magic she drew from her deep connection to the forest that surrounds her.

Now, Jane has referred Nell to PsyLED, a Homeland Security agency policing paranormals, and agent Rick LaFleur has shown up at Nell's doorstep. His appearance forces her out of her isolated life into an investigation that leads to the vampire Blood Master of Nashville.

Nell has a team - and a mission. But to find the Master's kidnapped vassal, Nell and the PsyLED team will be forced to go deep into the heart of the very cult Nell fears, infiltrating the cult and a humans-only terrorist group before time runs out....

if you like Jane...

If you like Jane Yellow rock, you will love Nell!
While both of Faith Hunter's protagonists are searching for self, Nell has further to go. She is softer than Jane, yet tough in her own right. Hunter has given us a complex story as well as a new team of characters to care about. For those who love Jane Yellow rock, there are crossover characters from that series. I was happy to see Rick again, and see how life is treating him without Jane. I admit, I want more Nell, more than I want more Jane. I never thought that was possible.

LOVE THIS NEW SERIES!

Faith Hunter hits it out of the park again with her storytelling ability. Nell is so different from the baddass Jane of the Jane Yellowrock series, but does find her own strength as the story progresses. I'm so looking forward to the next book in the Soulwood Trilogy. Khristine Hvam, once again, also brings her own special flair to the narration. I love the camaraderie between Nell and newest PsyLED team. I especially LOVE Occam. The Faith Hunter/Khristine Hvam team is always a winner. I hope that the Soulwood Trilogy will be picked up for more than the three books. I could read/listen to books about Jane and Nell for at least twenty or thirty books each. And then over and over again.

Great story line, awesome narration.

This is my second listen to this first in a series by Faith. The main character is a lovable smart woman and is very well written. I loved this story so much that I bought book 2 before I finished this one.

Enjoyable from beginning to end!

Another wonderful story by the amazing Faith Hunter! I enjoyed every moment. Being from the area of the book, I found the accent a bit different, but enjoyed it none the less. I highly recommend the twists and turns of this fantastic series!!

Finding family and friends

I enjoyed the way the story grew, the religious enclave that sounded like a cult, the paranormal enforcement agency, and how the main character adjusted to her new reality. And nothing's like it seems, keeping the story riveting and fresh. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Loving more of this universe

Of course I started with the Jane Yellowrock series as per my twin Denise. After finishing that series so far I started Soulwood. LOVE this book. And the narrator Christine Vham.... what a perfect choice for both series. She has made this universe her own or should I say Faith’s own. I can’t think of a better pair of author/narrator. Perfection!!
