A twenty-six year old hypnotherapist who oversees a research project based on discovering the answer to an age-old question, "Is reincarnation fact or fiction?" must learn to trust a Welsh stranger.

A druidess and a shape-shifter must join as one to save the Druid way of life, while a Queen conspires to kill Erin's only High King.

Rhonda R Carpenter, in The Mark of the Druid, not only has written a fascinating mystery, she has done her research and created two believeable worlds. The Modern world is one that could be taking place in Los Angeles at this moment and yet the ancient, Celtic world allows us a glance back in time as if we were there.
The Mark of a Druid delves into dream work and the question of reincarnation. I was drawn to the characters and cared what happened to them. I loved reading it and look forward to her next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE MARK OF A DRUID is the Best of Both Worlds for the Reader, June 27, 2009

This review is from: The Mark of a Druid (Paperback)

Rhonda Carpenter gives hungry readers exactly what they expect from a tightly woven storyline: a book you can not only lose yourself in but find a part of yourself after you are finished. Why do we believe the way we do? Who truly influences the way we evaluate our lives and those of others past? Just because we can't wrap our minds around something does that make it any less real?

These are all discussions that any book club or group of friends will have fun dissecting and debating as they manuveur from chapter to chapter.

Carpenter has truly left her "Mark" with this one, and the literary world is a better place because of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poorly edited, February 21, 2010

I gave this book 5 stars because I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I purchased the book because of a display I saw for it on Second Life. The trailer intrigued me, so I purchased the Kindle version, which was under $8. I can honestly say that if the less expensive Kindle version hadn't been offered, I would not have spent $20 (the current price) for a paperback book-- especially since the author has released a free audio version of this book, which is available online.

The book is filled with difficult to pronounce Gaelic names like Gormfhlaith. It would benefit from having a pronunciation guide in the back. I listened to sections of the audio book to help me with the names.

If I had the ability to assign stars for the editing of this book, I'd give it less than 1. There were enough typos and other errors in this book as to distract me from being immersed in the story. The person responsible for proofreading this edition should be fired.
