Review by Danita Dyess for Readers' FavoriteA.J. Aaron is a genius. I loved this book! It had fantastic images but the real story was about Sevilen accepting his power. I understood that everything is as it should be but the author's depiction of this concept is exceptional. The laid-back dialogue and cool characters mixed fantasy with what is usually considered a serious, esoteric subject. Leyna's mindset and sexual exploits are tastefully done. Quotes from Einstein, Toffler and Drucker reinforced the message. This book is highly recommended for teenagers and adults."Many moments of sheer fun with its easy wit and hilarious vignettes", Norman Goldman "Publisher & Editor of BookPleasures.com A principal aspect of the 1st of the Reluctant Gods series is its desire to fully engage the reader...utilizing supernatural phenomena and settings as he effectively integrates magical powers, different time frames, farcical scenes, archangels, reincarnation, god-like characters,chakras, mythology, as well as the power of love, even some philosophical musings, all of which makes for quite a tale. Enjoy the ride!The full review is below on 5/14/2013 Product Description Become a supernatural immortal?Reluctantly.Book one of this fantasy series about reincarnated lovers.Review by Danita Dyess for Readers' FavoriteAuthor A.J.
