In short
What happened in My Soul to Save?
- At the concert, Eden drops dead onstage. Libby, a special reaper, comes and takes away what should be Eden’s soul. Instead of a soul, though, it’s Demon’s Breath, which means Eden sold her soul to a hellion and it was replaced with that gross stuff.
- Addison, Tod’s ex-girlfriend, sold her soul too, because apparently these teenagers are idiots. She wants to kill herself to release the Demon’s Breath. Kaylee and Nash try to talk to her, but Tod has to reveal himself to get her to listen.
- Tod and Kaylee want to search for Addison’s soul. Nash refuses initially, until Kaylee puts her foot down. Kaylee feels terrible about what happened to the souls of the girls her aunt killed in the first book, so she wants to do something to help.
- Harmony, Tod and Nash’s mother, is helping Kaylee control her bean sidhe ways. If she learns how to control her screaming, she will be able to peek into the Netherworld.
- Dekker Media, the company Eden and Addison were/are signed with, has been encouraging and blackmailing teenagers to sell their souls in order to be successful. Since Addison has no soul, her eyes are now a solid white and she has to wear contacts to make them look normal.
- Thomas Dekker offers Regan, Addison’s sister, a contract. Regan is desperate to accept it because she’s tired of living in Addison’s shadow. She accepts, and Kaylee is too late to stop her.
- Levi, Tod’s boss, arrives and relieves the reaper, Bana, of her duties. She had been taking teenagers to and from the Netherworld, and so she must be fired. Levi is a BAMF. Kaylee saves Bana’s soul in order to trade it to whichever hellion took Regan and Addison’s.
- Kaylee and Tod fill Emma in on some of the bean sidhe/reaper/soul stuff. She takes it rather well.
- Kaylee asks Harmony to tell her some more stuff about the Netherworld and those who reside in it. She tells Harmony it’s just for research in case of an emergency.
- Back home, Kaylee crosses over to the Netherworld and gets cut by the really sharp grass. She uses the Netherworld to get out of her house without her dad knowing. She meets up with Tod, and Nash. It turns out that time moves more slowly in the Netherworld.
- The group drive to Texas Stadium and cross over to the Netherworld. Some parts of the Netherworld are a lot like the human world, if there is a lot of human activity. “The stronger the anchor, the more closely the Netherworld mirrors our world.”
- A fiend in the Netherworld says he will tell them where to find the hellion who’s been taking souls, if he gets a portion of the hellion’s breath. He gives Kaylee an hour to get the breath.
- Kaylee, Tod, and Nash cross back over to the human world and call Addison. Kaylee has been pricked by a poisonous plant and her ankle is swelling up rapidly. She picks up some antibiotic cream for that, and some balloons for Addison to breathe the Demon’s Breath into.
- They go back to the Netherworld and pop the balloons in front of the fiend until he agrees to tell them where to find the hellion. One balloon pops in front of Nash’s face and he inhales some of the Demon’s Breath. Ew.
- The fiend tells them they’re looking for a hellion named Avari, who is a hellion of greed.
How did it end?

Reaper – take the soul once a person is dead.
