I have just finished my fourth reading of The Bond, A Paranormal Love Story. I find myself picking it up during those times
when I need a light, easy read to relax during my more hectic days. One of the things I love about Karen Magill’s writing
style is that it flows together so easily. It’s like listening to a good story told by an old friend. When I curl up
with Karen’s book, I feel relaxed, comfortable and safe.
The main characters, Laura and Julian, are like two people you could meet on any given day in any given city. Yet these
two ordinary yet talented people suddenly find themselves in a tragic situation at exactly the same moment in time yet in
different cities. What follows is one of the most deeply spiritual experiences I have ever read.
Karen describes it in such beautiful detail, I find myself looking up into the night sky occasionally with the hope that
I may see such a beautiful phenomenon in reality. Karen writes as though she is speaking to you, the reader, while sitting
across the room as you are comfortably sharing cocktails.
The story is well written, and the characters have a richness to their personalities that belies her easygoing style. There
is also a surprise twist at the end that leaves you feeling deeply satisfied and content that all things in this universe
happen for a reason.
This book is a must read for anyone who is looking for substance as well as relaxation.
