Betrayals and secrets, devils and saviors, fae folk and foul, and a magic stronger than even the gods can tame...

Lovers Lula and Brogan Gauge have dealt with magic, monsters, and gods for eighty years. Bound to travel the lonely roads of Route 66, Brogan’s a spirit with no chance of leaving the earthly realm while Lula, neither human nor monster, is only half-alive.

Their search for a way to break their curse might finally come to an end if the ghost in Illinois is telling the truth about a magical journal.

Lula and Brogan aren’t alone in wanting the journal. If they don’t get to it first, their chance at freedom might just turn into the fight of their un-lives...

starts slow, finishes lovely

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 18, 2020

For me Devon Monk is an unpredictable author. Some of her series I like a lot (Ordinary), others I start off liking but peter out (Allie Beckstrom, Magic), still others I never got into (the sequel to Magic which just felt grim). This one I thought was going to be that last category, but it nudged over into the like column, mostly because about halfway through, it got an emotional buy-in from me. I’d spent the first half not sure who these people were or why I should care about them (it would have helped if the book had started with the attack on Lula and Brogan rather than just mentioning it several times with no details). Driving isn’t my thing, so the truck and the road didn’t offer me much. I also didn’t like Brogan getting so invested in derailing Jo and Cal’s prospective relationship—that made Brogan seem mean and rather petty, especially given how trivial the bet was that he was trying to win. I’m not really sure why I decided to invest in Lula and Brogan, maybe I finally understood their tragedy? maybe they showed up as good people in a very bad place? maybe Cupid loved them so they appeared lovable? I don’t know, but I do want to see what happens in the next book.

4 stars - Decent series Starter

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 28, 2020

He's more dead than alive and she's more alive than dead and they are connected by a love that reaches across the barrier between life and death as they endlessly travel Route 66 looking for a cure to their condition or for vengeance on the one who did this to them.

I enjoyed this series set in the same universe as the author's Ordinary God's series. This first book had that otherworldly feel of those stories where ghosts can act on the lives of the living with a touch of Lady Hawke in that the two lovers are together but can touch or directly communicate except for a minute every few weeks or months. But still they know each other so well they have almost conversations where they respond to what the other would say in a situation. I am intrigued by the setup though not sure how things will work in the next book due to twist right before the end of the story.

Can't Wait for the Next One!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 20, 2020

The first in a new series, Wayward Souls is the story of Lula and Brogan Gauge, who were attacked by a monster and left changed forever. Brogan is a spirit and Lula is only-half alive, but their love is very strong. They've traveled Route 66 for eighty years and they search for magical items, hoping to break their curse. Using a magical watch that allows them to speak to and touch each other for short minutes at a time, usually in a graveyard, they hope a journal a ghost tells them about might help. I loved this couple and their relationship, and their dog Lorde (Lorde is my Shepherd) is a delight. The conclusion was awesome, setting up further stories, but I can’t say more without giving it away. All I can say is that I can’t wait for more Souls of the Road.

Excellent characters, including the dog. Great dialogue, and a plot that will take us on a great road trip through several magical battles. Can’t wait to continue.

An engaging foundation for a promising series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

The book starts slow and feels a bit passive but it's rich with history and carefully unfolds the story of Lula and Brogan. Two almost star crossed lovers entrenched in tragedy but tied together by a love so strong even death couldn't stop them from finding a way to be together.

Monk is still a master of words, her own magic flowing strongest when the action starts. She carefully crafts an endearing cast of characters to start a new series filled with love, mysteries, and magic. I eagerly await the next book to see where Lula and Brogan's journey takes them.

Astonishing atmosphere drives this UF story

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on January 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

I loved this book. It’s scarce on the action front, the reader is thrown into the middle of the two main characters’ literal journey and the atmosphere is like the slow going in the forgotten places around Route 66. And yet I was mesmerized and couldn’t lay the book down…
It’s the story of Lula and Brogan Guage, who (due to some tragic attack in their long ago past) are both not exactly human any more. Lu is… someone half-dead and half-alive and Brogan is something like a ghost, but more. And although they are always together, they can nearly never see each other. Their story is tragic and heart wrenching and wonderful.
They have to stay near Route 66 to not get separated, so this is their road to journey on and find and sell magical artifacts for more than 80 years… and to find a way to get one day back together.
The two of them meet other people, small town folk of all variety and I felt as if I was there with them, in those towns, with those people. The atmosphere is like a Hopper-drawing, I get the same feeling reading this book and studying these pictures. It’s eerie and lonely and wonderful at the same time.
The book does set the scene for further adventures and I am happy to get back to Lu and Brogan and will hopefully meet some of the side characters again as well.

Great new series

Really enjoy Devon's writing, and definitely enjoying this new series. Interesting characters and setting. Always fun to discover a new world and to begin exploring it.

So interesting - a love that endures anything.

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on December 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

Really love anything that Devon Monk writes and this book was no exception. It built gently and has a whimsical humour. Lulu and Brogan are exceptionally likeable characters facing incredible circumstances but they will overcome anything to keep loving each other. Oh, and there is an awesome dog thrown in to make the story even better. Cant wait for next instalment.
