Weathering Old Souls by James J. Cudney & Didi Oviatt: A Review

The two authors, Didi Oviatt and James J. Cudney  of Weathering Old Souls have created an excellent tale, in which they combine a thriller about a serial killer and a spiritual exploration of a woman who is trying to understand the impact of her past lives on her present existence.

This kind of story is a formidable task, one that could easily get muddled, but they do an extraordinary job of clarity of narrative lines in their writing. They do a fine job of creating and exploring the compelling characters, and they interweave their writing seamlessly.

This is a book that kept me captivated and completely pulled me into the narration. If you enjoy a novel that combines a variety of issues, both of the thriller genre and of an exploration of religious and spiritual concerns, then this book is for you! I found this novel to be wonderful, and I give it my highest recommendation.

Read it, and enjoy the ride!

I give this wonderful book five stars!

What Is On Your TBR list?

I was wondering what everyone is reading and what you are also planning on reading. Summer is often a great time to catch up on our books, although the last few days have been a bit difficult with the heat wave and broken air-conditioning in our apartment unit. (We do have portable air-conditioners, so there are no worries.)

I am currently reading Eterenal by Lisa Scottoline, The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, and The Man In The High Castle, by Philip K. Dick.

On my To-Be-Read list are Weathering Old Souls by James J. Cudney & Didi Oviatt, Quichotte by Salman Rushdie, and The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles.

So I ask all of you: what are you reading and what is on your To-Be-Read List?

Search For Maylee by Didi Oviatt — A Review

Search For Maylee by Didi Oviatt is a wonderfully written thriller that combines psychological suspense, action, character growth, and terror. Oviatt does a remarkable job of creating a narrative that is compelling, with the reader always wanting to know what is coming next. Oviatt builds the story, focusing in on the main character Autumn and her search for her missing niece, Maylee.

Oviatt creates a protagonist about whom the reader cares; we become invested in her struggle and her anguish as she continues looking for her missing niece, even as she is told there is nothing more to be done. Autumn is a driven person, one who will not let anyone or anything keep her from achieving her goal.

This tale is not only a riveting piece of story-telling, but also it deals with an important contemporary issue that is all too frequently over-looked—the abduction of young women and girls.

From Autumn’s inner emotional turmoil to her dedication and determination to find her niece, Oviatt takes us on a wild ride, one that will keep the reader turning the pages to find out what happens next. Didi Oviatt is a writer to follow!

I give this book 5 stars, and I recommend that anyone reading this review get a copy of this excellent book!
