Review Quotes: "Reading Soul Taker made the hair on my arms stand on end. If you like your storytelling dark and unsettling--with a dash of poignant heartbreak--then Sniegoski and Acheson have your poison."--Amber Benson, best known for portraying Tara Maclay in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and writer & director of Slayers: A Buffyverse Story
