The Calling
Mae Martin loves her second husband and step children. She even loves her mother Rhoda-Rae though their relationship remains rocky. Then her mother suggests she take some courses to get certified as a personal trainer. Following so close on using a talent she discovered when she was younger, increasing her knowledge decreases her contentment. As new friends encourage her to explore her familial ability to heal and find those who are lost, Mae feels the strain on her old relationships. But are some of her new acquaintances more dangerous or wounded than she realizes.
The contrast between Rhoda-Rae’s unfaithfulness and Mae’s loyalty caught my attention, so seeing Mae’s seemingly idyllic marriage crumble so fast jarred me. I appreciated how Mae took her learning both personal and spiritual slowly, so all the “teaching” crammed into the last few chapters felt tedious. Not sure I will continue this series.
The Calling
Read it till the end. Sorry not my cup of tea!
Poor Characters
Loved reading about energy, healing, crystals, etc. Characters left a lot to be desired, regardless of what type of spell they were under.
