The Awesome Authors of CMP

Hats off to the awesome authors of Crescent Moon Press. I have made some wonderful friends, been envious of their enormous writing talent, and have enjoyed reading and reviewing almost all of them. From Young Adult onward,  I have yet to find a novel I didn't enjoy. There are kick-ass heroines, vampires, and even dragons. I promise, you won't be disappointed. If you click on the graphic above it will take you to the CMP website so you can peruse the wonderful collection of paranormal novels.

That said, onto A Shadow of Time.

A Shadow of Time was one of my favorite novels to write. I was able to jump dimensions thereby allowing me to tell several different stories at the same time. I've included the review below not just because it was stellar, but because she described the book in such detail

5.0 out of 5 stars

Plenty of Twists keeps you on your toes.,  by Denna Holm

A Shadow of Time by Louann Carroll was a little different story from my usual read. I seldom have dreams about novels I'm reading, but this one must have hit a nerve. It scared me. Of course, I like someone to try to scare me. :)

Kellyn O'Brien has just been widowed, has a young son, and is four months pregnant. Not a position most young women would want to find themselves in. On top of that, she learns her husband lied to her from the start about his family. He told Kellyn he'd been adopted, the same as she had been. After he dies, Kellyn is left pretty much penniless, but she soon learns her son has inherited her husband's family home. After the shock wears off she learns she could be set up pretty much for life with both children, all she has to do is move into Shadow Ley, a large home located in the California foothills, with her children. Doesn't seem like much of a hardship, until she gets there.

Shadow Ley is not what it first appears. There is strange goings on there, such as rooms that magically clean themselves, furniture and floors repaired right in front of them. And there could be a djinn living beneath the enormous home named Shenahobet, a guardian of sorts, and he might have evil in mind where Kellyn, her kids, and her new friends, are concerned. Kellyn and her friends soon learn they have more in common than they thought even. All of them have experienced strange dreams about past lives, but after Kellyn's arrival what were once only strange dreams become realistic visions during the daylight hours. Everyone is at a loss as to the meaning behind them.

A Shadow of Time is a novel one has to pay close attention to because of all the different twists and turns we take, not only in the present, but with lives they may have lived in the past. How much of their past lives are connected to the present, or even the future? Shadow Ley and Shenahobet are the connection Kellyn needs to figure out before one or all of them ends up hurt or killed. Somewhere in the past a wrong was done and if they don't find a way to correct it, these friends are destined to keep reliving it over and over again.

I enjoyed this story and the twists and turns involved as it escalates toward a surprise ending.
