Thank you to Anne Cater and Matha Dunlop for inviting me onto this tour and gifting me with a beautiful copy of the book.
Blurb:
They’ve spent lifetimes being pulled apart. This time, they’re ready to fight.
After years of hiding her psychic abilities, Beth meets Jonan – the man with the violet eyes – and starts to feel like she belongs for the first time. Jonan has waited lifetimes to be with the woman who haunts his dreams. Drawn together by deeply buried memories from before birth, they try to make sense of a soul connection that opens windows into both their histories and their destiny.
But when a woman from Jonan’s past starts weaponising their emotions and stirring up hate, distrust and a fear of the supernatural, Beth and Jonan find themselves targeted in a wave of suspicion.
Only they can see what she is doing. But can they hold out against her bombardment and be true to who they really are, or will they allow The Fear to tear them apart?
My Thoughts:
As a debut novel I found this to be well thought out and equally well written.
I’m a huge fan of fantasy books, especially paranormal fantasy and a sucker for pretty covers. I love the boldness of colour against the dark background. Personally I think it makes the cover stand out a lot more.
This books follows Beth and Jonah, who for me were so well written that I forgot for a second that they weren’t real and were actually figments of my imagination. I always thought I could suss out a plot line pretty well but Martha’s writing kept me hooked. It opened up a new paranormal world for me and new characters to love.
I’m one of those readers who can see a movie In their head while they read, and this helps me get sucked into books more. I feel that this book would work well as a movie or TV Series.
This book took me on a wonderful adventure. I can’t wait to see what Martha has planned for book 2!
As a bookstagrammer I think Octber was the perfect time to read this, cant wait to play around with some layout ideas for it. Keep an eye out for a post in the coming days on LaurensLiteraryLibrary on instagram.
About the author:
Martha is a dreamer and lover of stories who likes nothing better than spending her days exploring
the paranormal and intuitive senses and getting to know the characters in her head.
She is a tarot card reader and Reiki Master, and loves to chat reading, writing and all things mystical
on social media, as well as posting pictures of her fellow pack-member, Bertie the Cavalier King
Charles Spaniel.
Martha is a fiddle player who fell in love with all kinds of traditional music, but particularly Irish, and
is also teaching herself to play the Irish Bouzouki. She played her way through her English degree at
York and remembers that time as much for the music as the books.
Martha started her working life in PR because she wanted to write and in the end she left PR
because she wanted to write more. But along the way she had the opportunity to work with
journalists, hone her writing and editing skills and adapt to the many voices she was asked to use.
