The Beloved (Paperback)

by M. D. Gray (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review
Shona Seton had inherited psychic abilities. The story begins with her engagement to the hypno therapist, Adam Yardley. But they have met before in a past life which was warring with the present. The year was 1886. Katherine was married to Jase by proxy. She was sent by her father to help lift the curse upon Jase's family. Katherine had the ability to heal Jase's killing headaches with the help of the Christian God and the grace of His mother, the Blessed Virgin. It was going to take all her Faith to fight the demon Baharvaghosha. The past must be revealed before the present could continue.

Reader warning: Much occult and sexual content in this book. M. D.Gray's occult study since an early age and her special interest in Druidic and Wiccan ideology and practices have come together to create a dramatic story! I was repulsed and fascinated at the same time. -- Huntress/Detra Fitch - Huntress Book Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars To Each His Own, July 20, 2000

By A Customer

I noticed a couple of negative reviews among the many stellar ones. That's life, I guess... you can't please everyone. But-- this book sure pleased me! SHONA & ADAM, KATHARINE & JASE - Characters to remember!

M. D. Gray debuts with a chilling dark occult novel, one that is sure to catch your attention from page one.

As I said -- it sure caught mine!

What more can you ask for - a horror story, a time travel of sorts, and a love story all wrapped up in one well crafted book.

Treat yourself to a gripping tale and emotional roller-coaster -- Read M. D. Gray's THE BELOVED.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but difficult read..., February 11, 1999

By A Customer

The premise of this book is fascinating... reincarnation, karma, demons, psychic powers. However, I found the writing stilted and some passages didn't fit into the book such as the disagreements between the two main characters in their presents lives. A difficult read but ultimately worth it if you are interested in the occult.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read, July 23, 2000

By A Customer

Loved this book. I got totally engrossed in the past life story and didn't want to return to the present. I highly recommend it for anyone who has a interest in the past life and its impact on the present.
