Melhara by Jocelyn Tollefson is an interesting paranormal type book. I only read the sample but just those few chapters captivated my attention to read the complete book. I may do that. If you are into fantasy and adventure I think that you will enjoy this book.

No spoilers. Speed of the story well described. No spelling mistakes.
Though the first few sentences (in the first paragraph) are a bit
awkward because of the way characters are introduced (like 'flip the
coin and tell who is next!')

Good review!

I'm not such a huge fan of stories featuring witches, demons, and the like, but this review really did a great job making a book like this sound appealing! Lots of excitement and a little inter-character chemistry is a great thing.

Thanks so much for the great review! It sounds interesting since you say that you couldn't put it down, it had excitement and adventure. It's been a long, long, long time since I've read a story along those lines. In my younger years I watched all the horror, sci-fi, vampire, put-you-in-a-trance, werewolf, good vs. evil flicks. I will add it to my want to read list and see how I like it. I recently finished "Filthy Witch and Dead Famous" by Pearl Goodfellow, and although it was about witches, murder and mayhem; the feel was totally different and it had lots of humor (to me anyway).

Again thanks for the review and congrats to the author on BOTD!

Thank you for the great review. The sample read and review makes a reader want to pick this up and read it in one setting. I love seeing when a reader gets into a plot and just feels that excitement.

Great review! Before reading the sample I had already firmly decided that I would not read this book as I have too many waiting on the sidelines to be read. Here comes the but, but I was hooked immediately and now have the book waiting to be finished.

It looks like the pace of the book is quite fast. It may be an advantage looking at the genre of the book

I like that the character is in her 30s in today's book...appeals to a different audience! I'm happy that sales for this book are being put toward the medial field...so awesome! Great review!

Being a fan of the witchcraft related fiction, I believe this book would be worth my time :) Moreover, the positive review has increased my interest even more.

I like Melhara by Jocelyn Tollefson because it is about a caper involving a dream in the angelic view. I wish congratulations on the BOTD.

It sounds like a pretty unique aspect for a novel. I might have to read this one, it sounds pretty interesting. Thanks for the review!
