THE SONG CALLS--Review

THE SONG CALLS by Laurie Lynnsee & A.W. Powes ISBN: 979-8-9914430-5-0 Mayhem Books 2005 release A deep dive into two worlds that intermingle in both positive and negative ways. Empaths are dwfined as individuals with higher than normal sensitivity to and with other humans. Often that empathy is described as heightened sensitivity to the auras and mental energy emanating from the core of the being. It's an area of human existence that requires considerable in-depth study. This is the story of two empathetic sensitive sisters, Elise and Ruth, both keepers of empathy for some of those around them. Elise, the more sensitive is an accomplished musician returmning from college with her flueglehorn. At home, she teams up with sister Ruth in musical paths. Ruth is employed by the local county sheriff. She is also a talemted pianist and singer. The sisters form a band based largely on the music written by their deceased father. External dark forces gather to affect band mmbers in a negative way, the mental conditions, especially of Eliese. Dark. aggressive auras begin to intrude in insidious ways that have great potential to wreck what is a talented musical band. The careful blending of mental and musical abilities is judiciously handled by the authors and works well in this overlong and wordy but fascinating and interesting novel.
