How many believe in life after death? Do you yearn for a narrative unlike most? If you answered on the affirmative then despair no further.Yesterday by Samyann is a love story with both historical and spiritual elements that will surely keep one at the edge of his/her seat. The first concept that grabbed my attention and had me in awe was the cover art in which The city of Chicago is being consumed by flames in the background. In a way, it warns you of the fiery story that dwells in its pages. Amanda Parker and Mark Callahan are the main characters of Yesterday Who out of the blues, bump into each other and notice there exists an innate, instinctive attraction between them that they can not really explain. Due to curiosity and insistence by Mark, they agree to enlist the help of one who specializes in hypnotherapy to assist in solving the riddle. They soon find out an astonishing secret that might either bring them closer together or tear them apart.
Furthermore, this offprint seems to dwell on the assumption that, reincarnation and fate are fundamentals that exist and influences us in various ways. One thing I really enjoyed is how the author used extensive writing styles like imagery to bring forth an immersive piece, therefore, resulting in the mini-plot lines were in harmony with each other. Lots of books with subjects that comprise transmigration and mesmerism tend to be confusing to the reader. Yesterday is not most books. The romance, mystery, and thrill tend to gracefully sizzle as one flips through the pages. In some instances capturing the full attention of the reader and leaving them at the mercy of sweaty palms and a pounding heart. It is a novel a greater number of couples can indeed relate to, as it encompasses values such as patience, forgiveness, and tolerance. Important aspects that define long-lasting social relations.
In my perspective, this publication deserved a solid 3 out of 4 stars.The writing and editing are quite up to par, but I did find occasions where I felt there were unbelievable conflicts. Mark and Amanda's characters experience little personality growth despite them traversing oceans of time and living multiple lives. From present-day Chicago to the infamous Chicago inferno of 1871 and into the Civil War era.
To say the book was flawed will be a bit harsh and to say it was without blemish would be a blatant lie. There existed a few typos and missing words that did not augur well with my conscience and it would have been a travesty to give it a higher rating than that.
For all readers who enjoy paranormal genres with a pinch of love on the side are welcome to sample this narrative. The fact that the author manages to paint a perfect picture bringing to light important circumstantial events that defined histories in America, such as The blaze of Chicago, slavery and the civil war, expressively confirms Samyann''s ability to be versatile. This book is not only a romantic novel but a historical one as well. You better not miss out on a deserving compilation.
