very good

Anything by the Gears is always excellent and this series is no different

Mystery Romance

Kathleen has done a superb job of adding a fictional story to the great historical cultures of the Native Americans. She has shown courage in being willing to add the romantic element. I look forward to reading her next work as it will use the power of sex to heal. The high chieftess trully exudes the stresses of leadership.

A nice mystery book.

It sleeps in me was one of the best books that Katheel O'Neal Gear has written. It even gives you a twist at the end of the book. Ill be getting the 2nd book in the triogy when it come out.

Great debut from Kathleen O'Gear!

When Sora, chieftess of the Black Falcon Nation, is faced with warring clans, duplicitous friends, and baffling seizures, she feels that she is trapped in a labyrinth of deceit. Skinner, a friend of her ex-husband, Flint, comes to Sora with a shocking message: Flint is dead, but his shadow soul lives within Skinner, and he must tell Sora Flint's last words. When Chief Blue Bow of the enemy Loon Nation asks Sora for warriors to help his clan attacks another, Sora suspects treachery despite the promise of jade bounty. As she seeks counsel from her second husband, Rockfish, and best friend, Wink, Sora is shocked that they are eager to accept Blue Bow's proposal. Suspicious of their motives and tortured by the lure of Flint's shadow soul, Sora learns that she can trust no one and that her life is in danger. Throughout out this book I was mesmerized with the culture and the beliefs of this tribe. I use to read-up a lot on Native Americans in my college years because the culture fascinated me so much. While reading this I kept trying to predict part of the ending but came up short every time I turn to a new chapter, there were a couple of shocking twists that had me going. Gear did a great job keeping up with the story line throughout the entire book. It did break my heart during the end of the story. With this debut in a new series, Gear, the beloved coauthor of many Native American prehistoric novels (e.g., People of the Owl), spins her magic again in a saga peppered with murder, intrigue, and erotic love scenes. This book was intriguing and entertaining. I highly recommend this book. Great work Kathleen Gear.

Quick to Finish

The style of writing was different than I was use to. Usually I like to read American Indian Novels that weren't as modern as this. Very different beliefs that I couldn't quite understand but it had a great twist. Can't wait to read the next two books so I know how it all ends.

very sad, made me cry

This book was very entertaining and a quick read. I was able to predict part of the ending but there were a couple of shocking twists. I'll try to stay away from telling too many details, but the end made me feel sad when she revealed that Flint really wasn't as passionate as we were led to believe. It was sad that she was as delusional as she was. I would highly recommend this book to any historical fiction or murder mystery fans!
