Becoming Catherine
"Creative, Mysterious and Wonderfully Atmospheric
I enjoyed this book and the creatvity of the author! Becoming Catherine is such an intriguing blend of historical fiction, time-slip, and paranormal elements that kept me turning the pages.
The idea of Kate waking up in the Victorian era, living as Catherine, was fascinating. I loved how the author wove together two worlds – modern day and the 19th century – while building in the mystery of her family’s dark secrets. The atmosphere of Valhalla Hall was beautifully described, and the contrast between the two timelines made the story feel fresh and unique.
There’s also much emotion here. Kate/Catherine faces serious challenges like an abusive father, unwanted marriage, and forbidden love, and you really feel for her as she navigates this unfamiliar world. The suspense of whether she’ll ever return to her own time kept me guessing the whole way through.
If you enjoy time-slip stories with historical settings, romance, mystery, and a touch of the paranormal, I definitely recommend this one!”

Allure of the Stone
"Rich Tapestry of Tales
"Allure of the Stone" by Jane Reid is a brilliantly crafted collection of mini stories which although standalone are intricately interwoven, creating a rich tapestry of narratives that intrigued me throughout.
Reid's lyrical prose shines as she explores the depths of our unusual relationship with Earths precious stones, gems and crystals; themes of mystery, connection and self-discovery across a range of diverse characters, their individual timelines and various circumstances."

"Raw & Emotional
Great book. This story is raw, emotional and told really vividly. It was exciting (dodging witch-hunters) and gives you food for thought (wrestling with faith). Its got historical grit and personal drama too. I loved the strong female leads. Must-read."

Seeing Beyond the Ocean
"A Marvellous Metaphysical!
Balancing in between dream and reality, ‘Seeing Beyond the Ocean’ by Jane C.R. Reid follows the journey of a young woman’s self discovery as she explores her own life and the metaphysical forces of the world. If you are a lover of beautiful prose I would highly recommend this, and if you love beautiful prose and the contemporary fantasy genre, I could not recommend this more!"

Dream Awake
"A Great Read and Recommended
What a great read I was not expecting the twist at the end and had to re-read the last few chapters again. A story of two sisters falling out, a mysterious place called Bridgton Valley and what is reality or a dream.
The front cover was eye catching too. Highly recommended."

Who Am I?
"A Page Turner
The author shows versatility and variety in her books, as her mind explores, and in this one takes the reader on an interesting journey into the confused mind of the protagonist after a car crash in the south of France.
A page turner and kept me guessing until close to the end,and I look forward to the next book.."

Journey to Forever
"An Incredible Journey
I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to the end.
It is beautifully
written with thought provoking references which stir the soul
reminding us of our divine connection with Mother Earth. The book
runs across two timelines, creatively contrasting modern day with
ancient past lives.
It is unlike any book I've ever read
before, It steadily draws the reader in, building to a spectacular &
dramatic ending that I couldn't possibly have predicted, which I
believe to be highly worthy of a film production.
If you
enjoyed the Time Traveller's Wife, you will surely enjoy this book. I
feel no words can do it justice and wholeheartedly recommend you read
it for yourself."

Power of the Shadow
"Powerful Reading
I have read the first book Dark Star, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and so I was happy to discover that the sequel had been written. The pictures that the author paints with her words and imagination are what I enjoyed in the first book, and all this carries on beautifully into the second. I would recommend this read to those people that want to escape the reality of this harsh world we currently live in and want to let their imaginations wander briefly. Great story telling and full of intrigue. Amazing story."
