Soulmate The Sixth Ganzfield Novel Kate Kaynak Books
Originally posted on my blog: Tangled Up In BooksSince I started reading this series, this will be the first time I have ever given a Ganzfield book anything below a 5 star rating. I'm feeling a bit numb right now. I'm also worried that I've felt the need to immediately put my thoughts down, instead of taking a couple days to process this. Which is why I find myself sitting here at 2am typing this out just moments after reading the line "END OF BOOK SIX". But really I don't see how I can feel any better about what I've read even if I'd had a month to let it simmer.
I'm confused... About many things, so it's hard to know which thought to pull up first and expand on.
This book felt very rushed. As you can see it was only, according to my book, 163 pages. We've been waiting for a very long time for this book to come out. At one point Kate Kaynak had stated it was expected to be released back in Oct of 2012. Trust me, I understand better than anybody the fact that no matter how hard you plan, life doesn't always allow things to happen when you want them too. So that is NOT me complaining about the wait. I get it. I understand. But I would hope with all the waiting we've been doing that we'd get a finish that was worthy of the Ganzfield series and I just feel like...this wasn't it.
Reading this series up until now has been like watching a really, really, really good action/romance/paranormal/comedy movie all rolled into one. Seriouisly! There's explosions and helicopter crashes and people who can kill with a simple thought of their minds and the love...oh the love stories. And all this stuff has just been building and building for five books only to have it just sort of taper off like it was being swept under the rug. Honestly I would have waited another year, hell I'd have waited a couple more years, with no complaints what so ever, if it meant giving this series the send off it deserved.
Do not get me wrong. I was enjoying it up to a certain point. I laughed a lot, Kate Kaynak has this really great sense of humor laced through her writing. So this isn't a matter of me raging through the whole thing. I mean, I did keep thinking to myself 'this is all going too easy and too fast' like I said I felt the rush of it all from the very start of the book. But then the last 50 or so pages hit and deep in my gut I just knew...I was not going to be happy. It's not even that people got killed off. It's the freaking Ganzfield series and by book 6 I'm almost numb to Kate Kaynak ripping people away from us. Though I will admit the round of deaths by the end of this one really threw me for an emotional loop. The feels are in overdrive at the moment.
There's also no closure for at least one of the characters. This person is just...like...missing. With the last line of the book being an email from Maddie to this person saying "Let me know that you're still alive, okay?" and BAM that's it. End. So for a few minutes there I was slightly hopeful. I mean I know the author states in the note at the beginning of the book that this would be the final installment of the series. But at one point there had been a total of 7 books listed in the Ganzfield series, the last one titled Solitary. Which, if you knew anything about the series, you could easily speculate like I did that this would have been the perfect title for a book centered around our missing person. It's perfect! I thought okay this isn't it! There will be more! I'll get closure! But as I went on Goodreads...that book is gone. And with that my hopes were crushed.
I know this has just been one giant rant, so for now, I need to just let it go. I never set out to be mean. This will still always be one of my absolute favorite series I've ever read. Period. Sorry if this was all harsh and such, but like I said, Kate Kaynak I really wish you would have delayed it even longer and not rushed through to the end because we can feel it in the story. And I hate having unanswered questions. Now I'm going to go wallow in my emotions. Does anybody have any chocolate?...

Soulmate The Sixth Ganzfield Novel Kate Kaynak Books Reviews
LOVED the conclusion to a great series!!!
I love this series! I laughed, I cried (a lot during this book) and I just love the characters. I absolutely can't wait for the next book to come out! Hopefully very soon.
A great finish to a fantastic series that left room for another series to follow in its footsteps (please?!).
Overall, Soulmate was enjoyable, but the ending felt rushed. I don't mind character deaths (and there was one pair that left me staring at the page), but Soulmate didn't feel like it had the closure the series needed. A decent semi-cliffhanger ending for a book in mid-series, no problem. But at the end of the series? It feels like we should have gotten at least a little more idea of what was happening.
The book felt like it was a little slow to start, and I'm personally not a huge fan of the romance (mostly because I'm not a romance fan), but I really enjoyed the powers and seeing how they were used, as well as seeing the characters again. The interactions between characters were fun to watch. I will say that the "seamen" joke got old quickly, but that's just personal preference.
That aside, I enjoyed the book. It just felt like we needed another hundred pages, or another book to complete the series.
I ADORED the first five books in this series. And I was so desperate to get my hands on the sixth -- I couldn't wait to see how the series ended.
But unfortunately, I was just left disappointed and dissatisfied. It seems as if the author just couldn't wait to finish the last book and rushed through the entire thing. So many times I was confused as to who was talking or what was happening. Deaths happened, but it seemed as if no one felt any remorse. And the final battle with the most evil character ended so quickly I almost missed it.
Sorely disappointed.
So.... Notice above that all of the rest of the series got 5/5 stars from me. And that is not just because I was newer at blogging or that I used to give out 5 stars more easily. I love the books, I love Maddie and Trevor. The books are fun, swoony, filled with action, and I loved every second. I had been waiting for this one for quite a while. I know that Kate manages Spencer Hill Press and that she's had a lot of amazing titles that have come out. On top of that she is such a sweet heart.
So, I still loved how strong and fair Maddie is. She is one of my favorite main characters, because she still expects the best from her friends and the others at Ganzfield and even though she sees their dark, inappropriate, mean or any other negative kind of thought that each of them has. She still helps them to be better, to make the best choices and to try and share the good that she sees with each of them in hopes that they'll do what she does, try to make the right and best choices and to give others the benefit of the doubt.
Now, when it comes to people trying to hurt her friends or getting away with treating the others with g positive abilities, she is scary as all get out. She can fry people's brains, read their thoughts, cause them to black out, go into seizures and more. But she hates that she has to hurt people at times. She only uses when really needed. She has good discernment and she has a huge heart.
And Trevor, oh my goodness. Still one of my favorite book boyfriends ever. He is attentive to Maddie, takes care of her when she doesn't take care of herself. And he thinks the world of her. Maddie can read his thoughts and he is just good. A good guy, a good friend, and an amazing husband to her. I love how their abilities merge and they can talk to each other in their heads and she can share his telekenisis.
The plot of this one was very fast paced... and it probably would have gotten another 5 stars, making it the whole series.... But the ending. It felt so rushed and I couldn't believe the people who were killed off or injured just to give it closure. I wish there would have been another 100 pages to handle the threat on the homefront and to make their overseas mission have a bit more flesh too. I just felt like so much was a neat little bow or that they died. And that was the end.
Maybe Kate will reconsider this being the last installment and give us more closure and more fullness to the end of some of the ones dead....
Bottom Line Great up until the end which was rushed and felt like people died just to make it easier to end. But Maddie and Trevor are still wonderful and love their characters and relationship.
