Unlike other books I've read and reviewed which are offered by publishing companies and publicists, I was contacted directly by the author of A Circle of Souls. I read the description and decided to give this first time author a chance and I was not disappointed.
A Circle of Souls weaves together two main storylines - one involves Naya, a young girl that is hospitalized for a psych evaluation after having nightmares that are prompting her to try to 'fly' off her balcony; the other is the brutal and bizarre murder of a young girl. The switching between the two main plots is seamless even when the story is told from the point of view of the slaaf (a word I had to look up in the dictionary). A Circle of Souls will have you on the edge of your seat; it's a book that I didn't want to put down when it was bedtime.
A Circle of Souls is a murder/crime mystery, a paranormal thriller and even a medical drama all mixed in one book. If you are easily offended by non-Christian faith's beliefs and practices, this book is not for you. But if you're not, then this book will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
