Low steam, high concept,
painful, past lives and loves mess.
Strangely compelling.

I was always fascinated with the idea of reincarnation and past lives and how much of an influence those past lives would have on our current one, so I really liked the setting, and I especially liked Tom as a character. Sanders came off as a bit of a bastard, but he grew on me at the end too. To be honest, the writing seemed a bit odd and left me confused more than once, though this is probably because English is not my first language, and I did get used to it after a while.

An unusual story. I had tried to read this while travelling and finally managed to have a few quiet hours as we sailed to Amsterdam. Even though the romance wasn't overt and in your face, it was there, hidden in the words and expressions. An easy read once I could concentrate on it. Do we have multiple lifes? - an interesting take on regression therapy. Intrigued enough to want to read the rest of the series.

Whoa. This needs all the content warnings, I think. Fates mates with past (really traumatic) lives, described in technicolor via past life regression. I'd warn for sexual assault, suicidal ideation, torture.

Oh thank god, a decent damn book. I have been repeatedly disappointed lately. Actually it's a very good book. I am loving this witches of London series.

Trigger warnings: suicidal ideation, chronic severe pain. Graphic violence and people dying. (In the potato famine - I wasn't going to mention that, but I have friends who are Irish and I'd warn them about this) There is a happy ever after though. It is a bona fide romance.

The story is very intense. I was completely sucked in. I hope he and colleagues continue to write more in the series. It's just great.

Another warning: along the way, there is a sympathetic character who is a German officer in World War II. Not a nazi or ss, but some may have an issue with it.

Another Beautiful Story

While the characters didn't resonate with me like they did in the Lars novel, the writing carried me through. Sanders was a difficult character to like, and I struggled with Tom"s forgiving if Sander's Franky cold manipulation. In the end, it was hard fie me to see the romance. Perhaps be cause I never felt there was a concrete moment when Sanders realized that what he felt was more than the past life connection. The power imbalance between the two always seemed off.

Will review closer to the time of release. I guess it could be said that I'm a bit biased but that's honestly not the case here. I just absolutely adored this and all the while it destroyed me. Book hangover is extreme with this one but totally worth it.



And that cover?
