REVIEW REQUESTS ON HOLD

NOTICE RE: REVIEW REQUESTING

Due to the monumental backlog of review requests, I simply must place a hiatus on accepting review requests, indefinitely. Beginning April 30, I will not be accepting any requests for reviews.

4. This does not apply to review requests to which I’ve already agreed, nor to blog tour reviews to which I’ve already committed.






Mallory Heart Reviews welcomes all review requests but reserves the right of refusal of any requests. We also reserve the right of timetable: we are severely backlogged but agree to review any accepted requests in as timely a manner as possible. Please understand that there is currently a waiting list on reviews, but we are accomplishing these as quickly as is reasonable.

A CIRCLE OF SOULS_Review

A Circle of SoulsA Circle of Souls by Preetham Grandhi

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I classified this excellent novel as urban fantasy; Eastern metaphysics; paranormal; and of course classic murder mystery. It’s rare, though exciting, to discover a novel whose characters are delved into to the depths this story does. Author Preetham Grandhi has years of experience in child psychiatry, but he also knows his adult characters very well: Dr. Peter Gram, one of the protagonists; Dr. Everson Hunter; Everson’s girlfriend Evelyn; the Hastings; the Iyengars; FBI Special Agent Leia Bines, Detective Rodriquez, Lieutenant Andrews. Then there are the children: Janet, Naya (also an important protagonist), Sasha, and others.

The story hinges around three main protagonists: Naya, a young child; Dr. Peter; and the killer. But woven into and around these three are complex webs of secrets and revelations, religion and spirituality, psychosis and psychiatry, and plenty of heart-in-mouth suspense.

“A Circle of Souls” is a gripping and riveting page-turner. I recommend it.
