Short Synopsis: Ever since Haven was a little girl, she always felt like she was the reincarnation of a girl named Constance, and that a handsome man named Ethan were destined to be soul mates.
My Thoughts: it definitely kept me wanting to find out more, but I also kind of felt like there was too much going on.
Haven Moore is an outcast at her high school in Tennessee, ever since she befriended a boy named Beau. Haven's one dream is to get as far away from her back words grandmother, and to attend The New York Institute of fashion.
But things aren't going to well for Haven when she suddenly starts to have fainting spells, and starts remembering a past life of a girl named Constance who is madly in love with a boy named Ethan. As Haven starts to have more visions of her so called past life, she is painted by the town and even by her own grandmother, as a devil.
Haven decides that she must run away from Tennessee to find Iain Morrow, a famous hollywood actor whom Haven believes is the reincarnation of her long lost soul mate, Ethan. As Haven makes it to New York, she believes that she is being watched, and must be careful. While in New York, Haven also comes in contact with a society called the Ouroboros Society. A group believed to help individuals who believe that they are reincarnations of past lives.
But Haven has no idea who to trust, as Haven finds Iain, but has constantly been lied to, or the supposedly innocent gentleman from the Society. Can Haven get to the bottom of her visions and trust the one she loves?
Not really sure how to start this one off. I liked a lot of what Haven was going through, but there was also a lot that didn't really suit me. The love between Iain and Haven and the fact that Iain was Hollywood royalty, really captured my interest to the story. But this novel was also really religious and had a lot of religious background which I wasn't a fan of.
I enjoyed reading the mystery behind it, who killed who and who was actually responsible. But this novel also had a lot of the major characters be reincarnated as well, which didn't really make Iain and Haven's reincarnation all that special.
I felt that Miller was trying a bit too hard to be too mysterious, and that there were too many factors. I was confused about the Adam Rossier situation, how Iain was able to survive the fire, and about the Ouroboros Society in general. Overall, it was interesting and entertaining, but too many factors collided, and not really enough explanations.
Would I recommend this book: Eh.
Rating: I give this book a 3/5.
