Jennifer says...

“How can you see into my eyes


Like open doors?


Leading you down into my core


Where I've become so numb

Without a soul


My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold


Until you find it there


And lead it back home”

“Wake Me Up Inside” Evanescence

When I think of Parallel Spirits, I think of destiny, the hidden power believed to control what will happen in the future.

Mara has been a carrier spirit for more than three centuries. She finds a “home” or “host” in Belinda, an eighteen-year old high school senior. Belinda is willing to “host” Mara, and in exchange, Mara will help Belinda find love.

Paranormal is not normally my genre. I am a huge Cassia Leo addict and knew I had to give this book a chance. OMG am I glad I did. It is a love story with twists and turns and Cassia works her usual magic, captivating you with every word.

Belinda’s best friend, Frankie, of course another HOT character, who is always there for her. She wants to confide all that has happened to her with him, but fears that he will think she is crazy. He is an amazing best friend and I was kinda sorta team Frankie for a bit.

Then Belinda meets Conor, and sparks fly. He is sweet, warm, and SMOKIN hot!!! So then I switched and I was all “Team Conor”. I will not share which team I landed on in the end…you will have to choose for yourself. But just know that both are swoonworthy and will be fighting for your affections.

Belinda and Mara are both enamored with Conor, but that is not the only challenge they face. Someone from Mara’s dark past comes into play and possesses none other than Conor’s body. It is a wild ride and you will be shocked and left breathless.

In Cassia’s words, “Falling in love is just as dangerous as battling evil spirits.”

I wanted to jump in the book and fight these evil spirits with them. I cannot wait for the next book in the series. I am so anxious so see what Cassia has in store in the next book!!!!!

5+++++++++ STARS!!!
