Review


This novel is an extraordinary work of paranormal/spiritual fiction. Told in the first person the author takes us on an incredible journey, that is told from the viewpoint of Lee O'Reilly. Lee is born into a world of abuse, and it was really harrowing reading about how his young life was shaped by his emotionally absent mother and his often angry and aggressive grandmother. At times this made for some very difficult reading, but I thought it was masterfully written.


The story is incredibly fast-paced and the hours simply flew by as I lost myself in this book. There are quite a few distressing moments in this novel, which makes it a very intense read, and once finished I had to sit for a moment to digest all that I have read. 


Angelina Kalahari is a gifted author who always writes gripping, very human, stories and this book is no exception. It is simply brilliant from beginning to end. 


I highly recommend this novel.

Angelina entered this life among the red dunes of Namibia’s deserts. There, where the Milky Way flung it splendour across heaven’s canvas, she found her voice.

As her family traversed the desert in search of crops for their herds of karakul sheep, a childhood filled with strange legends, amazing animals and wonderful people, became her universe.

The gift of music by Mario Lanza and other tenors accompanied them on their travels and called to her soul’s desire to share her voice.

When she left to study with other voice obsessives, it introduced her to a world far beyond her beloved Africa and brought fantastic performance opportunities.

Storytelling, such a big part of her childhood, became an inherent element in her performances, and she never stopped writing down her stories. When, due to illness, she could no longer share her voice as she had through singing opera, writing became her perfect creative outlet.

She writes contemporary romance to explore love, women's fiction to understand love and middle-grade novels to give love. What more is there than love?
