Five years ago she was a city gal, living in Orange County, California, where life was very different from the one she lives now. She has taught in many states in the US and provided reading services for students at a private school on Grand Cayman, where she lives with her husband. Lorraine Carey is a veteran children’s reading specialist, teacher and an International Award-Winning Author. The story holds many true interesting facts on the Rome’s Vestal Virgins peppered with a most shocking Paranormal twist. History has its own karma and all will unfold here for Christina with an obsessive lover and Rome’s ancient cult of the Vestal Virgins vying to control her destiny. She had not been aware that all of these mysterious events had been planned since her birth. They would take her to a realm where she would never return. She is now faced with powerful supernatural forces when one Roman goddess and her priestesses have decided this would be Christina’s last trip.
While enjoying a trip to Rome with her history club the odd nightmares return and she is faced with bizarre encounters while touring many of the ancient ruins, causing her to become quite ill.
Christina recently graduated from high school and had big plans for college. So why had she experienced nightmares and panic attacks for so many years? What she didn’t know was that she had another family waiting for her from another lifetime. Raised in a strict Italian American home she was surrounded by love and pampered like a princess. However, young Christina Ciccone was not ready to leave this lifetime. The stars were aligned, the portals were ready and the chaos had begun. History meets mystery here in this spine tingling tale of the Supernatural where one very special young lady will uncover a dark secret about herself that had been hidden for many years and embarks on an unbelievable journey she had never signed up for. The mythology is portrayed in a very authentic way, the characters are adorable and the plot is well thought through. Most of all, though, this is a fast paced thriller and a great mystery to solve. Carey did a great job at bringing back those feelings and memories for me. The comparison between Rome then and now is something many visitors to Rome will be astonished by.
I loved the novel for this wonderful setting that Carey brings to life splendidly. I learned Latin at school and been to Rome many times. While she travels in modern day Rome and visits ruins and temple sites it becomes clearer to the reader where the connection is. They are hard to understand and frightening. This is a great paranormal / mythological mystery with a blend of contemporary young adult fiction and excellently researched historical fiction.Ĭollege girl Christine has these repetitive dreams that take place in the times of old Rome.
