A beautiful story full of love, friendship and connection with nature.Reading the synopsis, I was afraid of falling on someting similar to the The Wolves of Mercy Falls's saga by Maggie Stiefvater. Not that I did not like this series and I do not like stories about shapeshifters but I wanted to be surprised...Well, I was damn surprise!The relationship between Magnus and Christina is wonderful, plausible and pique the reader's interest. After reading this volume, I think all readers will want to become an IST!What makes the story interesting is also the link with nature. The need to protect it, understand that our actions have an impact on the environment and that human beings need to stay in touch with nature to recharge their's batteries.Conversations with Ka'e, Christina's grandmother, open the mind. Through the dialogues, I've found resonnance in my beliefs, especially on the positif way to attract what you desire.While reincarnation or positive thinking are not new concepts, allied to Christina's interrogations about life changes and environmental problems of the planet, it was a nice way to reflect on our actions.All characters and their pets are endearing. I liked the relationship between John and Romy and I really would like for her to success in her love quest. But it is especially Magnus that attracted me.Julie Haydon has well documented the habits of wild animals and attitudes to adopt in the mountains to make its rewarding adventure. While I was reading the last sentences, I was amazed by this refreshing story.A nice breath of fresh air in a polluted day with a tip of suspense and romance. It's a rich read in many senses. A great discovery!Lucienewbooksonmyselves.blogspot.fr
