PROLOGUE
I was mad at the world, at the whiskey for not being strong enough, at the drugs for not lasting long enough, at the fucking whores I banged for not getting me off when it was my fault my dick was fucking useless after a bucket of fucking blow. I went so far as to be pissed at random people on the street for laughing or smiling when I felt like I’d never be able to smile or laugh again.
How dare they?
How fucking dare they be move on with their lives like my friend hadn’t just died.
I was on the verge of losing what little sanity I had left when I rode out of Logan's Beach and set off to find a place, or places, where I could numb myself against the feelings that followed me from town to town, cheap motel to cheap motel, girl to girl, high to fucking high.
Then, this pink haired girl from the past came barreling into my life and it was like for the first time, I’d found a purpose. A real genuine purpose and not just some shit Chop spewed out as orders that I and every other member of the Beach Bastards took as bible, but a true reason to live again.
To WANT to live again.
Someone to live for.
Ti was my chance at some sort of real happiness when Lord fucking knows I had no idea what that really was before her. The only glimpses of real genuine happiness I'd ever had came courtesy of Preppy, King, and of course Grace. Like when King tattooed us for the first time and we loved them, even though they were crooked and downright fucking awful. Like when Grace made me my very first birthday cake. Like the time King Prep and I sat at the top of the water tower and thought the world was ours to take.
Because at that time, it was.
Then there was Ti and my new happiness became the first time I saw her smile. The first time I kissed her. The first time I tasted her pussy by the fire. The first time she let me inside of her, shamelessly pushing through her virginity in a frantic need to make her mine.
Because that's what she was.
That's what she would always be.
And I will kill every motherfucker who dares to try and take her from me.
Mine.

The world was dark and you turned on the fucking light switch and now it's so bright, I'm walking around blind. I'm in fucking jail...and I've never been happier.
Soulless picks up where Lawless ends. Bear's walked away from the Bastards for the only family he's ever known. He takes the blame for the murder of Thia's parents to save her from going to prison. He has a plan, he only asks one thing of her, to trust in him. She's to stay at her parents’ house and with Rage to watch over her, to stop her from leaving the house.
I had no use for dreams when mine was already lying on top of me, fast asleep.
While in prison, Bear learned some valuable information to use against Chop. One way or another Chop is going down. War has been declared and Bear fully intends to walk away. When Thia disappears, Bear knows exactly where to look for her.
I wasn't just after revenge. I was on a fucking hunt.
On my bike, with Logan's Beach blurring around me, I became the soulless monster who was willing to spill rivers full of blood for my girl.
Bear makes it to the club, but what he finds isn't exactly what he thought it would be.
I can't go into any further detail without spoiling the story line, you'll just have to read it to find out what happens...it's worth it.
I loved Soulless, fell in love a little deeper with Bear and cried my heart out for Grace. So why the 4 stars instead of 5? Soulless was a huge 5 star read for me...until the epilogue. I know it will not be a popular opinion when I say I really, really wasn't a fan of the ending...not the bonus scene, I enjoyed that. The epilogue ending. I can see where Ms. Frazier is going, or at least I hope that is where she is going, but I still felt cheated. I had grown to accept and love the reality that was going on through the second, third and most of this book. I'd come to love the smart ass replies, the words of wisdom, funny stories, but for it to change in one sentence...which should have made me ecstatic but did just the opposite. I was seriously mad about that when I closed my Kindle. It definitely had me scratching my head, thinking what just happened?

4.5 Stars!
Once I started reading this one I couldn't put it down, I loved it!
After reading Lawless, Bear was my favorite and since the ending of book one, I've been highly anticipating this book!
After taking the fall for Thia, Bear is in prison and coming to the realization that he may never be getting out. Soon after being put behind bars he receives a visit from his mother, whom he thought had been dead since he was 5 years old, and the visit left him even more confused than before. Bear spends the bulk of his time in prison dreaming and wondering about Thia. While Thia spends the time that Bear is in prison locked away in a safe house with a slightly crazy woman that King and Bear hired to protect her. After several months of waiting, Thia overhears a phone call about Bear and sets out to "help" him, winding up in big trouble.
I love Bear and Thia's relationship. They both have such strong loyalty to the other and it's inspiring. Thia realizes her own strength during this book and she's definitely a woman who will do anything for her man.
I highly recommend this series and can't wait to read more from TM Frazier.
Shelby – ☆☆☆☆
This series has been a serious roller coaster of crazy from page one and book four did NOT disappoint!
Lawless left off on such a cliff-hanger that I couldn't wait to finish Bear & Thia's story, they so deserve their happily ever after.
Imagine my surprise when starting Soulless to a completely different scene then the final one in Lawless!
Knowing that Bear is all-in with Thia, protecting her from prison – we expect nothing less from him than absolute biker perfection. Prison provides a lot of information about the Beach Bastards, giving Bear an opportunity that he just can't pass up.
Meanwhile, Thia is continuing with her life sans Bear – not to say she's alone...we get a NEW character: Rage. *What I will say is Rage seems like a kick-ass character (when she's on your side), unfortunately she didn't have much of a personality. I'm hoping this will be resolved in subsequent books as I really want to get to know her.
Their love story is certainly dark and difficult, with danger lurking around every corner, but when they are reunited – Watch Out!! These two are just amazing together and deserve one another.
I really did love this story, all the ends are tied and still surprises pop up here and there.
Be prepared to laugh and cry – there is plenty of opportunity for both.
If I had to list a con to this story, it would be the insane epilogue. I just don't understand how it's possible...or WHY. I need to re-read the other books because I'm just really confused (and not in a good way).
