Genre: Historical
Description:
“Devon Muir has always been fascinated with the Civil War. When he
discovers that his fourth great-grandfather fought at pivotal battles like
Antietam and Gettysburg, he is compelled to follow in his ancestor’s footsteps
and experience the battlefields on his own. What he doesn’t count on is
dreaming about a battle every night—and being killed every time. Now his
exploration of battlefields becomes a different kind of quest as he struggles
to understand who is the soldier he becomes in his dream, and who is the woman
whose face he sees as he lays dying.”
Author:
“Melissa Bowersock is an eclectic, award-winning author who writes in
a variety of fiction and non-fiction genres: biography, contemporary, western,
action, romance, fantasy, paranormal and spiritual. She has been both
traditionally and independently published and is a regular contributor to the
superblog Indies Unlimited. She lives in a small community in northern Arizona
with her husband and an Airedale terrier. She also writes under the pen name
Amber Flame.”
Appraisal:
A story with an interesting and unique mix of contemporary,
historical, and supernatural genres. (It might feel a bit like time-travel
figures in this as well.) This was a quick, fast moving, and entertaining read.
I liked the characters, both the protagonist Devin, and the other supporting
cast. Where the story was going was never clear as the mystery of why Devin was
dreaming what he did every night slowly unfolded. If the story appeals at all,
this is well worth your time.
