Shelves: drama, supernatural, best-ever

Omigosh! I absolutely LOVED this novel!! An exciting blend of science and reincarnation, souls traveling through different lifetimes, it was a fast-paced mystery of trying to figure out who was who in the past lives and in the current one. Action, suspense, and a touch of supernatural mysticism, and the ending was amazing! I had goosebumps!!! I hope they turn it into a movie, it would be pretty amazing. Please let there be a sequel!!!

Bryan and Linz's story is absolutely gripping, trying to understand the mystery of the characters' past and who their enemies are. Interwoven into the novel are stories of characters throughout history ...more

I enjoyed the premise of this book, but I had a problem with the extent the reincarnation and past lives went. I also felt that a few things were left unfinished.

I like the idea of this book, travelling in time and coming back with all the knowledge and memories another person had, but it is taking me a long time to make progress.
