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.

What a GREAT book! I loved every page. I won the book in a Goodreads giveaway and was SO happy to be introduced to this great author. I’ll definitely add her to my favorites! I loved the title, the ending, and everything in-between! Easy to read (but hard to put down)… The title, description and other reviews give you lots, so I won’t repeat it all, but I will repeat — READ THIS, you won’t be disappointed!

Imagine that the love of your life has “moved on.” Imagine spending five years trying to find a good man – online! 88 Guys for Coffee is a funny, sad, all too real journey, and Laura is the character who won’t give up. She never changes her profile, yet she meets all kinds of guys, just for coffee.
 
Her true goal is to find a soulmate to come into her life and heal the loss of Kurt. She quickly analyzes the profile, deciding whether to send a wink or an email. The initial phone call is essential. If all looks well, there will be coffee. Laura’s best friend is Francesca, who appears from time to time, almost a guardian angel. Then there’s Hank, her friend. This is a book for people who seek love, who want to know what the on-line dating scene is like, or who eagerly read to see whether Laura finds a soulmate. Ms. Solomon knows Connecticut very well and it would be great to know more about her character, Laura. Diane L. Solomon tells a very good story, and I look forward to more stories from this new author.
