I received a copy of this book from the publisher and the author in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.Maybe you are someone who’s never connected with your heritage and ancestors. Reading this book may be the incentive you need to change that. With Vella’s descriptions of the surroundings, I can almost smell the forest. If you’re a person that likes to set the mood as you read, you might want to put some Native American music playing in the background.And until they come up with smell-a-vision for e-readers, you might even break out a candle that reminds you of the forest. Of course, this being the holiday season you may still have a real tree sitting in your house. Or maybe you live in an area that’s nice all year long, go find a nice place to sit outside where you can sit and read this.This is a story you have to listen to – hear what it’s telling you. It’s a story of beliefs and it’s not always what we see but sometimes what we feel or even hear. Vella’s words just seem to bring everything alive – it requires you to open up your senses. This is not a story that can be rushed. You have to slow down and learn about a group of people that have been misunderstood for centuries.When I looked at the title, I thought “oh, a paranormal” but it’s not. It’s about heritage and history. The mystery, suspense, and romance are secondary. You just won’t want to put it down. As a reader, when I get to the three-quarter mark, I think the author is going to start wrapping things up and start to tie up loose ends. But no, our author adds in another mystery. And by adding this other mystery nothing gets rushed and it ends on a perfect note.
