Description
- Historical fantasy that combines the excitement of a contemporary thriller with historical adventure and the dark suspense of a horror story.
- Based on the premise of reincarnation and explores modern day situations and people as they recall their pasts through dreams and trances.
- Book One in The Souls Series
After a near-fatal crash in the Scottish Highlands, Ben, an ex-army major with a passion for protecting the innocent, dreams of previous deaths. Visited by a mysterious stranger who puts him into a series of trances to reveal more of his past, he stops the sessions after seeing his fiancée burned as a witch.
Ben’s doctor, Susan, is driven by her desire to care for people. Strangely drawn to Ben, she shares a vision in which they are drowned as human sacrifices. Still disoriented, she agrees to accompany new colleague, Lord Mortimer, to a conference in Dubai. There the lord imprisons her in his desert villa where he demonstrates how he has achieved immortality by consuming a man’s soul, telling her she will be next.
Sharing more past experiences while fighting to stay alive in the present, Susan and Ben must endure unspeakable horrors across millennia to discover the clues they need to survive; to find each other, and to challenge their nemesis. From ancient Egypt to the D-Day landings; from the African slave trade to punk rock; a multitude of lives lived, culminating in a single moment. All as the sinister Mortimer, destroyer of souls, lies in wait.

Three people chase each other across time. Souls destined to met time and time again. Love and hate, new beginnings and old memories mixing emotions and memories until it’s almost impossible to know where one life ends and another begins.
Stories about love that defies death about reincarnation and people finding each other despite all the hazards placed in their way always fascinate me. While this may not be the best example of the genre I have ever read it is certainly enjoyable and I’m already looking forward to the next addition to the series.
I enjoyed this novel, I was really engaged and I liked the characters. Will be looking out for more by this author.
Very enjoyable story and a clever concept. The "flashbacks" to earlier lives of the main protagonists were well developed.
The gradual evolving of the current lives of these main characters took some time to really invest in them and the final climatic scenes were good but not perhaps as credible as other parts of the story.
Was quite pleasantly surprised at the end to find that there's going to be further stories with these characters as I felt the tale had reached a satisfactory conclusion. However I'll be looking out for the next episode with interest.
What a wonderful story spanning many many years. The characters were very easy to invest in and thoroughly believable. I have always enjoyed this genre and this book certainly did not disappoint. One of the best I have read. I was hooked from the first chapter. Thoroughly good read and I will certainly be looking for more by this author
A story about reincarnation, soul that search through ages other souls. Interesting wold building and plot development, good storytelling
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine
I found this too much to read in one sitting, but pretty absorbing. It's a very interesting combination of fantasy and mystery, set in the Scottish Highlands. At the time when I started reading this, it was late in the evening and I was tired, but even then, it had a certain eeriness that drew me in, and I found myself reluctant to stop reading. Time travel is an important element in the story, so in that sense, it was like reading several stories. I was turning the pages quickly, feeling more and more surprised. At the same time, I felt that if I read too quickly, I may miss something significant, or fail to fully appreciate it. This was unusual, interesting and unique, and I liked it.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.

Needn't have worried it really is a great story with a huge name of history between the characters.
Can't say my more as I don't want to spoil it however it's definitely worth a read.
