Cassandra in the Mirror
Cassandra Morgante is part human and part stellar. She was born to fulfil a prophecy and help the evolution of our broken-hearted humankind into an immortal race.
This story time-travels across nineteen years of her life, from her student days in Edinburgh to adulthood in modern-day Ireland. Her childhood of solitude and loss is introduced only peripherally. In the face of adversity, Cassandra remains aware of her true origin and the mission she must fulfil.
Her powers begin to manifest when she is in her twenties, much to the very human dismay of her ego. When her path crosses that of Oscar O'Leary, a spiritual artist and secret initiate into the mysteries of the earth, her true adventure starts and a new humanity becomes possible. Their love-story is a fairytale-like adventure in consciousness that operates on many levels and across dimensions.
The Ascended Masters are Cassandra's powerful allies. They live in the ethereal city of Shambhala and know that she was chosen to introduce immortality to Earth. But Mr. Harker and the pharmaceutical giant Three-D, her main enemies, are sworn to stop her.
When Cassandra's powers are almost fully fledged, Oscar falls prey to the dark side and deserts her. As she becomes vulnerable to attacks from her opponents, the masters' plan to turn the earth into the Garden of Eden is in peril.
Ultimately, only Oscar can help Cassandra achieve her mission. Will he?

I absolutely loved this book. I was gripped from the first page, and loved the unexpected twists and turns as the story progressed. If you're interested in the mataphysical world, this novel is a must read.

I read this and LIKED it very much. I especially liked the main character Cassandra. But the only I didnt like was the ending, because I didnt really get it.

(Although I received this for review my Review is still 100% honest.)
I honestly really tried with this book. I read it all which I think I deserve a pat on the back for. Before I get into the negatives lets start with the positives. I thought this book had a super good concept. Its about angels being more of "spirits" who want to turn the human race into their own angel beings. A perfect race that can heal fast and basically be invincible.
Its up to one girl to make this happen. Cassandra, she is human but also "angel", well more of an angel in a humans body. The story goes through her life start with when she was a little kid. I liked Cassandra and how down to earth she was.
I thought that this book was really well written. It had tons of descriptive language that really helped you understand ether Cassandra surroundings or her feelings. A lot of metaphors were used as well, I do mean a lot! Which I was kind of glad about during certain scenes within this book.
Now on to what I had problems with. First off I was very confused at the beginning of this book. Mostly because of the way the author decided to write this book. It flips from first person to narrator to Cassandra talking to Oscar but, he isn't there to her diary. Most of the time I hard time understanding what was going on and had to reread a lot of sections.
Second the way certain paragraphs were phrased or even written I had a hard time with. A lot of it didn't make any sense to me with what was happening or being described sometimes. I really did have a rough time with this book.
This was not an easy read, I would say that probably some people would really enjoy it while others won't. It is very poetic but also very confusing. I really tried to like this book but there is only so much you handle with just one book. If you think you can handle this book and then I would say to give it a shot but you might not like it there is no guarantees.
