millennial children.
In

a Druidic realm that parallels the world around us. Cait’s ancient bloodline
whispers to her enticingly from the other side, bestowing amazing paranormal

REVIEW
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
I have to admit that it took me a little bit to really get into this one but I did get to that point after awhile. Especially once the paranormal parts starting coming into play. That made the story so much better and move a little smoother all at the same time. Cait is a strong character that manages to survive some horrific stuff yet still come out the other side for the most part okay. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

A lover brutally murdered;
a violent kidnapping; a female scorned. And no closure. Insights from the
Otherworld shed light on a case going nowhere.
When
twenty-three-year-old Cait is violently kidnapped by her lover's murderers, her
once-pleasant life is shattered. She's haunted by terrifying, evil
nightmares-apparitions that are really a calling card from the Otherworld.
The cops
are making zero headway locating the perpetrators, so she takes matters into
her own hands. Cait demands payback.
But
first she must overcome her scepticism. In the face of overwhelming odds, Cait
unknowingly transforms into a dangerous femme fatale; a ruthless
Otherworld being with the power to read minds and control the world around her.
Will
this be enough to conquer the vile beast pursuing her in her prophetic visions?
If you love contemporary
urban fiction, mystery and action, exotic Asian locales and paranormal forces
you'll devour this second book in Roderick Donald's page-turning series.

REVIEW
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
This book jumps rights into the good stuff with no real hesitation which is a nice surprise after the prequel. Cait is really starting to figure things out this time being less resistant to the new developments. As usual this all comes with it's own set of problems which she has to figure out over time which makes for a great story. Really ramping up now. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

It’s time to panic. The Gatekeeper
is about to cut you’re beating heart out and steal your soul . . .
When Cait’s younger brother Dec is
mortally injured by a terrorist’s deadly car bomb during a chilled-out family
holiday in Sicily, Italy, she is totally devastated. Distraught. And determined
to chase down the perpetrators. But happy-go-lucky, congenial Cait is not a
person to cross. Especially when it comes to family. They’re sacrosanct, and
the line in the sand was crossed when the bomb exploded.
Cait demands payback. And
retribution.
But how? She’s in a foreign land,
the odds are totally stacked against her, and she’s on her own. Or is she?
Voices from the Otherworld—Cait’s
ancient Shamanic grandmothers—are constantly in her ear as she wanders between
this and the Otherworld, coaching her, guiding her, protecting her. An innocent
fourteen boy who was ritually sacrificed, his soul then stolen by the evil
Otherworld beast Soran, the Gatekeeper of Lost Souls, constantly haunts Cait as
the child drifts aimlessly in an ethereal no-man’s land, half way between
Heaven and Hell, searching for release and a life in the next dimension.
Then Sergeant Tony ‘Ice’ O’Donnell
enters Cait’s world: terrorist hunter, trained killer, assassin. A fractured
SAS soldier of fortune and an Australian Security Intelligence Organisation
field agent who operates on the edges of legal. Together they stumble across a
secretive and dangerous sect dating back to the Crusades: The Brethren of the
True Believers. Ruthless tyrants and captains of commerce and industry who are
under the control the Gatekeeper.
Somehow this is all inter-related.
But how? Will Cait manage to locate the terrorists and extract the revenge that
she so desperately wants to mete out? And will she beat the odds and save the
next child to be ritually slaughtered?
Cait’s paranormal powers of
insight and perception are pushed to the max. But will this be enough to
survive the mayhem and onslaught?
About Roderick Donald:
But first, call me Rick – all my
friends do!
Rick is the creator of the
breakout contemporary paranormal Urban Fiction series detailing Cait’s dramatic
journey from a happy-go-lucky, 23-year old millennial to a powerful and
ruthless femme fatale.
When Rick initially wrote The
Awakening in 2011 it was a stand alone book. However, as soon as he finished it
he sensed that there was an even bigger story wanting desperately to emerge, so
he put the book aside to percolate and it was never published.
Then one day, in a blinding flash
of the obvious seven years later, Cait started screaming at Rick from the pages
of his novel: “Let me loose. I’ve got a journey to pursue”. Her remonstrations
led to the second book in the series, The Mind Controller, being written over a
three month period in 2018. To tie the two books together, The Awakening then
required revisiting and totally rewriting. All up, it took a further four
months for Rick to put the whole series together from nose to tail.
While the first two books were
being prepared for publication, a third book in the series quickly followed as
Cait had another adventure to embark on. The Assassin’s Apprentice is a
nail-biting urban adventure where Cait’s powers of insight and perception are
stretched to the max. as she travels the world, chasing down the murderous and
illusive secret sect, Brethren of the True Believers.
Book number four is currently
gelling in Rick’s head and will be out in early to mid 2020. Cait’s amazing
paranormal powers continue to grow and mature as she seamlessly moves between
current reality and the Otherworld. On the recommendation of fractured and
secretive ex-SAS soldier of fortune, Tony ‘Ice’ O’Donnell, she is picked up by
ASIO as a specialist undercover operative. Cait ends up their go-to person when
all else has failed and they are at a dead end with a case going nowhere.
Rick is a bit of an adventurer, a
sometimes adrenalin junky and a world traveller (67 countries and still
counting). He’s into competitive bay sailing, ocean racing, road bike riding,
scuba diving, natural health and keeping fit. Rick lives in Melbourne, Australia,
with Sandi, his wife of many years, and is the proud father of two
thirty-something millennial children. There are also two beautiful young
grandchildren in the mix who Sandi and Rick spoil to excess!
