Absolute Zero: Soldier of Light Chronicles Book 2 (A Paranormal Urban Fantasy Novel) Kindle Edition

by Ireland Gill (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 41 ratings

Saving the dead isn’t as simple as promised. It was supposed to be a standard routine…that is, until we discovered that I was the first Soldier of Light to receive visions of the souls’ worst sins. The very sins that put them in the Dark Realm with the devil. Sins that are unforgivable.

Hayden, my sexy guardian angel, tells me there are consequences if I don’t save these lost souls. But how do I save souls that have committed such despicable acts, especially when I have to live through their death in order for them to move on?

To make matters even more complicated, the devil believes he sees a darkness in me that matches his own. And to tell you the truth…I fear he may be right. Because each soul I must save makes me despise the world I’m forced to live in even more.

The one silver lining keeping me grounded is Hayden, until I come face to face with a secret he’s kept from me since the beginning.


“An entertaining ride with great characters that pulls you in and makes you emotionally invested, whether you want to be or not.”

“A really well-written, romantic, and creative book that touches your heart. It will make your jaw drop at the end and wish you had the next book already.”

“Excellent writing with a compelling, unpredictable plot set against an intriguing and imaginative paranormal background.”

Absolute Zero is the enthralling second installment in The Soldier of Light Chronicles. YA/NA paranormal romance with a strong female lead. A book full of intensity, supernatural adventure, and unexpected twists that will keep you guessing throughout the series.

Perfect for fans of Twilight, Hush Hush, and Fallen Angel Romances.

**WARNING: This book is part of a series and ends in a cliffhanger.**

1. "Absolute Zero is the second book I've read now from Ireland Gill and I think it's safe to say that I'm officially a fan! This novel pulls you in and makes you emotionally invested whether you want to be or not. I enjoyed the author's energetic and passionate writing, but also how she really nails the whole "young adult" voice , and the characters (even the 'non-human' ones) I liked that it was unpredictable and not completely cliché, and I was shocked by the twist at the end. (4-5 stars) - Goodreads; Shelfari; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers2. I'd read (and loved) the author's first book in the series, "Negative Zero"-I think I even liked this one a bit more than the first. Great supporting cast as well and I seriously love the dialogue between some of the characters, but the narrative was just as genuine and lovely as well! I lost track of time while reading this and loved how I was able to totally lose myself! Rare in this genre, and yes while there are some familiar elements, I really think that Gill does a great job of making the story feel fresh. Recommend for fans of YA fantasy and paranormal romance. (4-5 stars) - Goodreads; Shelfari; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers3. I have to say I really like the author's writing style a lot, really fresh and spunky, funny with great authentic personalities.I like that in addition to being romantic and fun to read, it never gets sappy or weighed down in melodrama. There is a level of believability in this book that makes it a very rewarding experience. I'm happy to have discovered this author and will recommend this series to fans of Y/A paranormal romance. Hopefully the next book is published quickly! (4 stars) - Goodreads; Shelfari; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers4. Ireland Gill continues to come up with new and imaginative twists for these characters and we watch them change and grow and develop as they overcome romantic and personal challenges. Great pacing throughout. So many complex interweaving plotlines. Gill came up with new and inventive twists to keep us on our toes. A really well-written, romantic and creative book that also touches your heart. (4 stars) - Goodreads; Shelfari; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers5. Excellent writing and a compelling, unpredictable plot set against an intriguing and imaginative paranormal background. Great characterizations and Gill does a great job of filling us in as we go without getting bogged down in describing every last thing. You can't help but get sucked into Gill's strong narrative that is descriptive and fast paced. Authentic dialogue. Some similar themes found in typical paranormal romance, different from many others I've read, but comfortingly familiar. (4 stars) - Goodreads; Shelfari; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers6. I am really becoming a fan of Ireland Gill's books. Lots of hot, romantic chemistry between Evika and Hayden, several other interesting characters with their own drama (love Luka as well), all of which is tied together with fast paced quality writing with deeper messages throughout. I thought the dialogue to be nicely crafted. Recommend. (4-5 stars) - Goodreads; Shelfari; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ireland Gill is now a best-selling author, and has spent well over a decade preparing the story line for her first Urban Fantasy series: Soldier of Light Chronicles. It was originally created back around 2001 with intent to be a graphic comic book, but instead turned into a full length novel....and just kept growing. Having experienced the sudden loss of her father as a child, Ireland's fascination with the idea of the afterlife grew along with her imagination throughout her adulthood, which further inspired memorable characters whose stories had to be told.

Having been diagnosed with MS on Friday the 13th of September, 2013, Ireland decided she would no longer sit on already-written story. Eleven months later, "Negative Zero" (self-published) is not only the first book of her book series, but also her debut novel which hit Amazon as of August, 2014. The second book, Absolute Zero, was published just one year later. (the rest of the series is on its way! But a REBOOT of the series was necessary. New covers and new blurbs have been created, and the first reboot published in July, 2019.

Both Negative Zero and Absolute Zero were accepted by Library Journal into their curated system and their Self-e Selection. Ireland has since been named a Self-e Ambassador for Library Journal and Biblioboard. She has been a featured author on panels at a few events, including Indie Author Day 2016.

Ireland is a happily-married early bird and nightowl whose further inspiration comes from her husband, three daughters, and lots and lots of music - particularly the band RED. In her free time, she does acrylic painting and plays piano, but especially loves finding new hiking trails with her family.

Oh, and one more thing - she adores llamas, alpacas and gargoyles.

    I started reading Absolute Zero a few months after I finished the first book in the Negative Zero series. Negative Zero Despite the break in time between books all the characters stayed fresh in my mind. A tribute to Ireland's ability to create memorable characters! Said characters are the strength to this book. After I finished the last chapter I remained flabbergasted. Honestly, my first thought was Evika overreacted. Then I asked myself, "But isn't that what her character would do?" Getting lost in the emotions of the characters says it all. You will become invested in Absolute Zero.

    Absolutely gripping & absolutely lived up to expectation! Just when I thought the story hit it's peak with a great plot twist -- BAM! just a little extra to take it to a secondary level and ponder what will happen in the next episode...so many possible ways to spin Part 3 and I cannot wait!!

    So, now my dilemma is that this one is more of a romance-driven book. The fantastical elements that made me pick up the second book was almost non-existent, save for the beginning and the end. What I will say is that the build-up to the last chapter made this book stand out way more than the first book. Also, Ireland's writing improved so much with this one, and I'm sure the next one will be even better still!

    I enjoyed Negative Zero and was not disappointed with Absolute Zero. Evika and Hayden are great characters that continue to be developed as the story progresses. Very enjoyable story with twists and turns. Looking forward to the third book in this series. I strongly recommend this book.

    I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and all opinions expressed herein are my own.

    This is book two of the Negative Zero series. It is not a standalone and ends on a cliffhanger.

    I consider this book to be the building blocks for all that is going to happen in book 3 of this series. The story moves slowly in developing the relationship between Evika and Hayden, as well as, exploring Evika's family/past. While some reviewers did not like the leisurely pace, I really enjoyed spending the time to get to know Evika more. She is having some interesting dreams/visitors, which are only lightly touched upon but that I believe she will likely have to contend with in the next book. I really enjoy how this story is told from the first person POV of Evika - who is still trying to come into her own while having to deal with some very overwhelming issues. I am completely fascinated with Alysto and the role he will play as the story evolves.

    The narrator, Sarah Stevens, is very easy to listen to - she provides voices for the various characters and really pulls you into the story with her narration.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting But More Slower Paced Story! :)
    Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2019
    I'm at a loss for what to say with this book, I know what a rarity right?! Like there were aspects that I enjoyed about the book and I even liked the characters. I just didn't love them to the point where I was emotionally invested and I feel so bad about that!

    The story I thought had so much potential from the first book but I felt this story dwindled off a little bit here. I'm wondering if I'm having this feeling because when I look back over this particular book not a lot really happens. There's definitely a few intriguing factors that pop up and the ending had me curious but I was really expecting a lot more to happen.

    Don't get me wrong it isn't a bad book! I just expected a lot more of the Soldier Of Light part to really expand and even more with her mark, although colour me intrigued with how it reacted to Alysto. And this was one of the biggest parts I was super curious about when Alysto was brought into it and we see her interact with him for a brief time, I'm sure we will definitely see more of that in book 3 but I wanted more here and now haha. I also thought the inclusion of a betrayer within the Council, although obvious to me, was clever and I was hoping this would really stir the pot…but for most of the part she kept that information to herself and so that side of the story didn't grow as much as I would've liked. I'm a trouble maker haha. I like all that angst and drama to grow because then that intensity rate pics up for me and BAM crazy stuff starts happening, left right and centre. I felt a lot of the attention was put into the spark between Evika and Angel-man which was fine (coz we all know I'm all for that) I was just looking forward to some kick-butt action happening lol. buuuut I'm a bookie adrenaline junky haha.

    I think one of my favourite characters would have to be Luka. He a loyal friend to them both and I feel he would literally do anything for these guys...and he proves that by one massive act he does for Hayden. I also love how is lighthearted and can also be serious when needed. He's like the perfect friendship balance for Evika, getting her on a different level Hayden could, even as her Guardian Angel. With there little team that are pretty awesome together. I love the playful teasing they have with each other. It does have quite a few laughable moments.

    Don't get me wrong guys, its still a decent book, I'm totally blaming the last book I read, that was still so in my head at the time. I couldn't shake the characters. So I am wondering if it was partially to do with this…but not all of it. I'm used to a lot of stuff going on and happening in my books so it probably has a lot to do with that. It wasn't a hard book to read and I was still intrigued and curious where it will go. I wasn't really expecting the person that knocked at her door at the end and was like…."Things just got interesting"

    I kinda feel sorry for the person who just had to witness the epic blowup between a certain hot-headed chick and Angel. Like it was stormy in all senses of that word. 1 minute everything is all well and good and then your like "Boy that escalated quickly" lol. Understandably though haha.

    If you enjoy a book that is slower-paced but still within the world of Urban Fantasy - Angel, Demons etc you will probably really love this. A lot of the information is spaced out throughout the story but enough so that it still keeps you locked in, which is an art in itself.

    Anywho,

    Happy Reading My Book Nerd Friends
