Last month saw the re release of Diana Nixon's book Love Lines. I was lucky enough to review another one Diana's books The Souls of Rain, so I was really excited to be able to join in with the blog tour to let you know a little bit more about this book.
The synopsis
The traces of supernatural powers have always been crossing the world of human beings. Many people know about the existence of healers, mind readers, oneiromancers and wizards. But for centuries their lives have been kept secret and no one has ever heard about Dever, a kingdom of mysteries and magic.
Neither has Eileen Clark, whose life has never been different from the one other teenagers have.
Everything changes the day Eileen receives an invitation to join the ranks of Dever’s students.
Nothing will ever be the same again…
New life, new friends, new enemies…
And love so powerful that no magic will be able to destroy…
The book is all about the paranormal.
Eileen Clark is a normal girl as far as she is aware. A couple of weeks before herself and her long time friend, Amanda Fairey, are due to leave for university, she starts having these recurrent dreams/nightmares. Someone is with her in these dreams but who?
Undecided on what they mean, they seek out a fortune teller, a lady who later turns out to be not quite as she seems.
"You are marked by the fire, your wings are shining in the sunlight"
Still just as confused, Eileen is then invited to a school that she has never heard of, Dever.
Dever is somewhere that doesn't exist to humans, a place that has legends and mythologies all of it's own. Founded by 7 families, the Fairey, the Feta, the Meridin, the Ventura, the Embry and the Wizardy. Each family has a supernatural gift and certain family traits and as each gifted child turns eighteen, they are invited to go to this "special" college.
And this is where Eileen comes face to face with Amanda's brother, Christian. Now before you go thinking this is turning into a typical love story, there is so much more to their meeting, an unknown connection.
"What kind of nonsense was going on when we were together?" "Why do I feel everything he is feeling? Or do I feel only what he feels for me?"
This book is full of mystery, suspense, magic and romance. Diana has managed to build a world of fantasy that is somehow believable. The dialogue is very witty at times and I loved how the story was told from both Eileen's and Christians POVs. All the characters were engaging and the twists and turns keep you wanting more, nothing is as it seems!! I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.
