Synopsis:
Fleeing her recent
past, Lilliah Woods finds refuge in the anonymity of the present day inner-city
slums. As she settles into the seedy apartment she must now call home, she
meets mysterious Marek Jamison when he materializes in her doorway demanding to
know who she is. From that moment, he becomes a guardian and guide as she
gradually discovers his hidden world.
As their
relationship develops, Lilliah learns of Marek's dark past and of a brothers'
quarrel he has been embroiled in for years. The quarrel turns into a larger
battle of good and evil, liberty versus tyranny, and the separation of love and
lust.
With Lilliah as the
ultimate prize, the deadly conflict reaches out to threaten her family, and the
outcome of the final battle will determine her fate. Lilliah must embark on an
unexpected path that teaches her to trust in the man she has come to love, and
give of herself as she never thought she could....
Author Bio:
Jennifer Thompson
is a native Arizonan whose newfound love for writing stemmed from her great
love of books. She enjoys immersing herself in an engaging story and can always
be found with a good book close by. A graduate of Brigham Young University with
a degree in History Teaching, Jennifer and her husband reside in southern
Arizona with their five children. The Scent of a Soul is her debut novel, and
with the creative flood gates now opened, she is working on bringing to life
other stories waiting to be told.
My thoughts: This book was longer than what I was first expecting, at a bit over 400 pages. The length wasn't an issue once I began delving into the story. There are some parts of this book that had me to the point of "refusing" to put it down. Plus parts that were slow enough in nature I felt comfortable setting it down to do other things. Each time I came back I was drawn quickly back into the storyline. My favorite part of the book are the not-so-key players, each character has their own story and are developed in a superb way. They really pull and hold the book together both for the interest of the reader and enhancing the key-players roles.
