Summary: Have I lived before? The Scorpion Child makes me wonder!
Review: Have I lived before? Orient-Express type books makes me wonder I am a 35 year old artist and multi-media web designer from New York, and do not have much time to keep up with the latest releases. However, friend who has read this novel's prequel, The Horseman, which also deals with reincarnation and is quite exotic, praised it, and I got curious and ordered it from the publishing house. Well, this is a suspense-thriller with unusual and exotic backdrops. Sexy and fast moving, never boring,from New York to Istanbul,politics, high-stakes terrorism,a sympathetic and courageous heroine, and yes, reincarnation is in the core. As I read the novel in between breaks from my heavy work load, I felt like I had a window seat on the Orient Express and pondered the question: is it the soul that reincarnates, or the genes? Even though I finished reading this novel, I still wonder...

Summary: passion, passion and more passion
Review: Passion, passion and more passion, but what else are you to expect from a Scorpio?!....its sting is nearly fatal! "The Scorpion Child" will make you wish to run away to exoticism, Constantinople and romance. This Scorpio heroine keeps her head cool among a maze of love, political and kharma intrigues, while everybody else is thrown into turmoil under her intense gaze and velvety touch. Like a real Scorpio, "The Scorpion Child" is fascinated by life and death issues, spirituality and passionately interested in sex, it has always an hypnotic appeal on Scorpio!....(be sure you have your sweetheart at hand while reading!).
One more time Kristina O'Donnelly masters the plot and romance while bringing us some invaluable insights, in this case about the Armenian-Turkish conflict. "The Scorpion Child" will give you an inlook at what a terrorist mind can be made of as well.

Summary: I've packed my bags to fly to Istanbul!
Review: Vita's note: This review was sent to me as a recommendation for this book by a person who lives Upstate New York, and she did not want her e-mail revealed.
>>>I am a 30 year old medical researcher, and having read The Horseman, which is the prequel to The Scorpion Child, I could not wait to read The Scorpion Child! This one is shorter, a fast read, yet just as exciting as The Horseman, and the characters, from Ariadne to Daniel, to Burhan, are hard to forget. I enjoyed the time I spent in their world. Now, I am planning to fly to exotic Istanbul, Turkey, just to feel, see, and touch the beguiling locales featured in this novel! P.S: I saw the other reviewer mention reincarnation, and how he began to wonder about it. Interestingly, this is how I feel, too, my logic says reincarnation is a pipe-dream, and yet... do we really know everything about how God's design for us, works?<<
