Here is River Hales's "Echoes of the Past." It's the second novel in her Echoes Duet series.
["My past has come back to haunt me.
As though it wasn’t enough that Lane’s past life came between us once, now our shared history threatens to rip him out of my clutches forever. And I’m powerless to stop it.
My control is waning. My entire life is slipping through my fingers.
The reincarnation of one dark and dangerous obsession looms like a shadow overhead, and I’m not sure how much longer I can hold onto the light, onto everything that’s mine.
That’s what Lane is. Mine. All of his memories and scars, his mind and his soul. His body that I’d give up my own soul just to touch one more time…
I’ll keep playing the bad guy, the devil, if that’s what it takes to save my angel.
These echoes won’t take Lane Hart away from me."]
I...I was not prepared to cry even more. I mean, I guess I should have seen it coming. But I just...wow. Holy shit. I'm a little broken at the moment. Then again, these two were just as broken, are just as broken, but their sicknesses match, and isn't that something.
I should have also been prepared for the darkness and blackmail and revenge, but I wasn't. This book was beautiful, this duet was beautiful. It touched not only on reincarnation but on how your previous life, the actions you took can and will effect your soul in the long run. It was karma at it's finest seeing certain people get darker and darker, losing their humanity because they made the wrong choices in their previous life. And I'm not talking about Lane or Harrison; those two tortured, broken boys have matching tortured, broken souls, and together, they're able to heal.
