A Readers Review
A Fine Novelist By El Rod. The wonderful thing is that psychic life, tarot, and various other occult phenomena are intertwined with an interweaving of subplots and main plot which are in themselves very well-written and feasible- as a writer I can see how a lot of thought and demanding work were put in to ‘tie up’ the incredibly complex weaving of this story.
What I loved the most was the sheer tight focus of the narrative, which held the attention and kept you rooted in the story’s mystery. The ending is quite simply, beautiful. Thank you, Soraya, for an excellent read. Wonderful storytelling! A*
A Readers Review – 5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant author & I would highly recommend this book to anyone By Sarah Waringon.
I started reading this book & straight away I didn’t want to put it down, instead I found myself sitting there on the settee most of the night reading the book as I didn’t want to miss a single piece of the book. I thought I might struggle with some of the Scottish words, but it was easy to pick up the dialect & before I knew it, I really didn’t notice the difference. I would highly recommend this book to anyone & I certainly can’t wait to read the next books in this series, but I also am looking forward to reading other books by Soraya. A brilliant author & wonderful books.
