Kristi Bentz survived encounters with a serial killer twice and now is ready to finally pick up her life to fulfill her dream and become a true crime writer. She enrolls in the All Saint College she used to go to before her life took dramatic changes. So much the better that there already seems to be a story only waiting to be written by her. Packed with the necessary information about the missing girls she begins her time at All Saints just to discover her high school sweetheart Jay McKnight is her new teacher in criminology.
Tough all the animosity Jay soon becomes involved in her investigations which were hugely influenced from some suspicions her former roommate voiced.
Kristi puts herself into the killer's focus without knowing he's already behind her wherever she goes, with her name on the top of his list.
Some people are intrigued by classes about vampirism but for some people it goes much further: they not only believe in vampires, they think they are a vampire and they live it.

Having read lots of Lisa Jackson's books I felt totally detached from this one and its bland characters which weren't too much but the hopping between them and the short chapters were quite tiresome, taking away the little suspense the story had to offer. The book drags, giving the reader the feeling of just putting the book away and read another one.

Lost Souls is a very good read. I was hooked from the first few pages.

Good book. Liked the main characters. At one point I thought they were introducing too many characters. It got hard to keep track of who was who. Suspenseful. Kept me guessing to the very end.

In this book, Kristi Bentz, daughter of Detective Rick Bentz, is attending the same college where four girls have gone missing. The local police aren't investigating foul play as they think the girls are runaways. However, Kristi decides to do some investigating on her own, and even tries to follow in the steps of the previous four. The includes taking courses on vampirism, forensic investigation and attending "morality" plays. Is there a cult that's responsible for the girls' disappearance? Could one of the college professors hold the key to what happened? And, as usual, the end of the book isn't a true ending. Although the main mystery has been solved, Lisa Jackson has left the door wide open for a sequel. I give this book 5 stars since it's a nail-biting page-turner. Enjoy!
