I was lucky enough to win an ARC of Parallel Spirits. I must say that if you are a fan of love stories, but you are tired of the typical happily ever after, and you want something different, then Parallel Spirits is the book you are looking for. This book is very engaging, captivating, and unpredictable. I had no clue what to expect or what was going to happen next. I would also say that Parallel Spirits has a bit of a love triangle in the story because Belinda is uncertain of who she wants to pursue. One minute she is more fond of Conor and the next she is beginning to doubt that just being friends with Frankie is the best idea. Belinda couldn't decide if her feelings were real of if they were being encouraged by Mara, the carrier spirit. "Carrier spirits are born from the most tragic of circumstances." Mara is a carrier spirit that is struggling to redeem her past that way she can be granted a body to avoid damnation from the ECHOES to live eternity in the shadow spirits. A carrier spirit must restore the imbalance created by their death. Mara tries to seek redemption by helping Belinda find true love. However what Mara did not expect is for her past to come back and haunt her. The individual's in her past pose as a barrier in her attempt to make her wrong choices in life, right. The purpose is to have hope, when hope is lost....well I can't tell you that part. "You'll figure it out someday."The ending leaves loose ends for the second book which will definitely be worth the read I am sure. Ultimately, Parallel Spirits is a real page turner and certainly worth the read, especially if you are looking for something different, then I highly recommend this book.
