Sunday, October 14, 2007 Book Review: Astral Nights by Kay Stone

Astral Nights
By Kay Stone
Cerridwen Press
Trade Paperback, 308 pgs.
ISBN #978-1-4199550-1-3

Psychically gifted Callan Nevins has always been haunted by images of a big, black gull. The bird’s appearance always was a harbinger of doom. However she’s moved on from her childhood with its crush on Sam. She’s now a divorced woman with a son. She has a job, good friends, and has tried to suppress her psychic nature. There’s just one problem. The Gull is back and she’s determined to get Callan at any cost.

From the opening scene with the warm, friendly exchange between Callan and her friend Stephanie, all the way through the page-turning ending, Astral Nights is a book where the characters leapt off the page. Completely three dimensional, they felt like real people that you know, or would meet on the street. I found the descriptions rich, pulling the reader into this world and giving it real 3-D clarity. The astral plane became a real place, even though many don’t ever get to experience it, and I loved the honest, yet fun, ways in which the author handled psychic talents. It isn’t all about catching bad guys. Sometimes you got to do the laundry and take the trash out, too.

Simply put, I loved reading this book. With fun moments interspersed throughout the danger, vivid descriptions, and real characters, Astral Nights is a book that will keep you up nights in your quest to finish it.
