Eva: a riveting romantic suspense with a supernatural twist

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book!!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2023

The book, “Eva” is a spectacular book. It is an especially fun read for summer days or in front of the fireplace in the winter. It is well written, inviting and engaging. This is one of those special books that keep you turning pages to find out what happens next whether it is to delve into the mystical connection with animals or humans or the relationship with a true “soul mate”. The journey into the realm of connectedness with the beyond, family and animals is mesmerizing. I LOVED this book and I should add that I consider myself a very discerning reader! For me, it was reminiscent of books such as “Woman on the Edge of Time” and “Mists of Avalon”. These books also present women who are strong, intelligent, and powerful. Thank you, Diane Solomon, for producing something that provides a beautiful escape and leaves you filled with inexplicable joy for a variety of reasons.

 
5.0 out of 5 stars Eva

I enjoyed reading Eva so much!! Her magical powers for healing animals was such a clever concept for a storyline. I love animals so to discover she had this power warmed my heart and I kept hoping it would help humans. So many things kept me interested and with the story being about a romance with the vet and Eva (when she finally lets down her guard) finally get together just wrapped everything up perfectly!! I would recommend Eva to anyone who likes something fun and loves animals to read this book. It’s a GREAT book for a summer read.

Eva is a romantic suspense story with a supernatural twist…

Eva possesses a unique and powerful gift. But is it a curse?

She plays down her beauty, to avoid attention. But it doesn’t work. She has a magnetic quality, a calm, a power of which she is unaware.

Never having known her father and having lost her mother when she was young, Eva believes she’s better off alone. She only connects deeply with animals, they are her first love. But another great love is on the horizon, along with other life-changing discoveries.

When they learn of her gift, the media jackals gather, and Eva is forced into the limelight she’s avoided all her life. She is accused online of being a heretic and scam artist.

 Facing challenges at every turn, including her own inner demons, she must fight to protect, even embrace, her newfound ability.

But someone wants her dead.

Magical realism in my new novel, “EVA.”

Leave a comment

“Eva” to be published July 20!

What is Magic Realism?

Magical realism is a newish book genre, growing in popularity, that incorporates the paranormal in a very realistic way.  The author builds a real world for the reader, with magical or paranormal aspects that are treated as perfectly normal. So the line between fantasy and reality becomes blurred.

What fun, right?

My new novel, Eva,  incorporates elements of magical realism. Here’s a quick summary of the plot (without giving it all away!) :

Eva’s newfound ability might be a gift. Or a curse.

Never having known her father and having lost her mother when she was young, Eva believes she’s better off alone. She only connects deeply with animals. When, at age 26, she discovers that she can heal them, just through her touch, at first she’s amazed and thrilled.

But things change when she begins to heal humans as well. Soon, journalists start hounding her relentlessly. Next, her wealthy, manipulative father surfaces, with just one goal: to profit from her ability. Even the magnetic Michael, to whom she’s powerfully drawn, wants more from her than she’s willing to give.

Just as Eva’s beginning to open her heart to Michael, she’s accused online of being a “blasphemer” and “scam artist,” and hand-delivered death threats confirm someone wants to kill her. Forced into the limelight she’s avoided all of her life and facing challenges at every turn, Eva must fight to protect her newfound ability while also doing the most difficult thing of all: staying alive.

Eva offers a passionate love story, full of dark conflict and reversals, with the theme of our universal yearning for connection. Plus, it is loaded with heart. The reader will come away moved and satisfied.

Here are a few of the authors who write in the magical realism genre: Sarah Addison Allen, Menna van Praag, Emily Colin, Neil Gaiman, Toni Morrison, Alice Hoffman, Isabel Allende, Gabriel Garcia Marquez,  Angela Carter, Aimee Bender, and many more.
