Eva: a riveting romantic suspense with a supernatural twist

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book!!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2023

The book, “Eva” is a spectacular book. It is an especially fun read for summer days or in front of the fireplace in the winter. It is well written, inviting and engaging. This is one of those special books that keep you turning pages to find out what happens next whether it is to delve into the mystical connection with animals or humans or the relationship with a true “soul mate”. The journey into the realm of connectedness with the beyond, family and animals is mesmerizing. I LOVED this book and I should add that I consider myself a very discerning reader! For me, it was reminiscent of books such as “Woman on the Edge of Time” and “Mists of Avalon”. These books also present women who are strong, intelligent, and powerful. Thank you, Diane Solomon, for producing something that provides a beautiful escape and leaves you filled with inexplicable joy for a variety of reasons.

 
5.0 out of 5 stars Eva

I enjoyed reading Eva so much!! Her magical powers for healing animals was such a clever concept for a storyline. I love animals so to discover she had this power warmed my heart and I kept hoping it would help humans. So many things kept me interested and with the story being about a romance with the vet and Eva (when she finally lets down her guard) finally get together just wrapped everything up perfectly!! I would recommend Eva to anyone who likes something fun and loves animals to read this book. It’s a GREAT book for a summer read.

This is such a beautiful, heartfelt, uplifting story! It grabs you by the heart and doesn’t let go! As you arrive in Eva’s life, she is just finding out that she has life changing abilities.

Great review for “Eva!” a riveting romantic suspense with a supernatural twist.

So thrilled at one of the first reviews coming in for my romantic suspense novel, Eva! Many thanks to Cindy White.

“Connection isn’t that what we are all searching for? Connection to family, to a lover, to animals, to nature. I love to read. Reading is one of my passions but I don’t often read a book that gives me actual chills. Eva gave me chills. Eva’s connection to animals and nature is foremost in her psyche, she has always wanted to help animals by being a veterinarian. Eva is calmed and centered by her connection to the ocean. Her mother planned to become a marine biologist and instilled in her a love for nature and animals. Tragically, her mother was taken from Eva when she was very young, raised by her great aunt, she has protected herself emotionally by letting few people into her life.

The writer speaks eloquently of grief, the memory of the emotion of grief and how that emotion can lead to the feeling of not belonging anywhere. Eva’s work at an animal shelter leads to an amazing discovery about herself and her abilities. The love of a good man, friends, newly discovered family and her amazing ability to connect help her to find herself and new confidence in her future. A truly wonderful book!”

Top 1% Reviewer on Goodreads give The Twain 5 stars!

Leave a comment

Top 1% Goodreads reviewer gives a wonderful 5-star review of “The Ravenstone: The Twain,” (part 2 of our Ravenstone series).

REVIEW: “Younger readers, this one’s for you! (But don’t be surprised if the rest of the family wants to read it, too!)

Diane Solomon and Mark Carey have teamed up to pen another middlegrade fantasy that will rocket readers into the world of time travel, evil villains and a desperate attempt by twins Aidan and Nadia to keep their mother safe. Armed with a magical stone and their own special powers, these two young heroes must depend on each other through danger, adventure and slipping in and out of different eras, all while not changing the future a little too much, all while risking being trapped in the past with no way to get home.

THE RAVENSTONE: PART 2: THE TWAIN is written for younger readers to enjoy, understand and relate to, because, really, just how cool would it be to travel through time? Fuel for the imagination created in a rapid-fire pace without getting bogged down in too many details, positive role models, dilemmas to solve and even some socially conscious topics to wrestle with, delightful reading for the entire family to share and discuss!

I received a complimentary copy from Diane Solomon! This is my honest and voluntary review.”

Many thanks to lovely Dianne Bylo!

Another great review for “The Twain!”

Another wonderful review for “The Ravenstone Part 2: The Twain.”

We are so thrilled! Such a wonderful review on Amazon.

5 STARS: “What a great story!

“I was hooked from the first page and had a hard time stepping away as I followed the continuing adventures of Aiden and Nadia from present day England into past and future New York, and times and places unknown. The underlying goodness of the main characters and their determination to use their brains and gifts to create a better world is so refreshing in contrast to the often disappointing trends in today’s world.

In “The Twain”, the story of the Ravenstone continues and grows from the seeds planted in “The Secret of Ninham Mountain”, the first book of the Ravenstone series. Rarely does a sequel live up to the excitement and satisfaction experienced in the origin story, but “The Twain” does just that, and more.

While this book stands on it’s own, I recommend reading it’s prequel. In fact, I’m sure you will be itching to read it if you haven’t already. And if you have read it, then like me, you will be pulling it off the bookshelf to re-read just to remain in the world of the Ravenstone for a bit longer.

There are clearly more adventures to be had and I will be looking forward to what’s next in the lives of Nadia and Aidan.”

A little about the book:

In the much anticipated sequel to The Ravenstone: The Secret of Ninham Mountain, Aidan and Nadia experience a terrifyingly real vision of a massive earthquake which threatens their mother’s life. The mission to save her grows in scope as they investigate, and their subsequent trips across time and space force them to face unimaginable dangers. They must rely on their growing skills plus all the powerful magic of the Ravenstone in their urgent need to stop the disaster facing the earth. Will they succeed? And at what cost?

REVIEW: “Solomon and Carey’s imaginative storytelling sweeps you into a fascinating tale of mystery and adventure. Young twins Nadia and Aidan stumble upon an ancient power that could help their family in the future, or trap them in the past forever. Highly recommended!”   ~ Linda Zimmermann, successful author of 30 books about the paranormal and mysterious stone sites.
