The final paragraph of the blurb for Smoke In Her Eyes, the second book in The Wanderer Series by Anna Belfrage, is as follows: This time round, Jason and Helle are determined to make it to the happily ever after. Unfortunately, Sam Woolf will stop at nothing to crush them. That ride into the golden sunset seems awfully far away at times…
‘Awfully far away.’ You can say that again! This is the ultimate eternal “love” triangle. Although, what’s happening in Sam Woolf’s pointy area of the polygon has nothing much to do with love, but more to do with entitlement, possession and revenge. These three characters have been reincarnated repeatedly over millennia. So far, the happily ever after has escaped poor Jason and Helle.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Anna Belfrage writes a good villain. When I say good, I mean the villain is extremely bad, but Ms Belfrage just writes him so, so well.
As with all of Ms Belfrage’s books, this story is riveting, the writing is absolutely gorgeous, and you will be left wanting more.
One of the plot details I like is the fact that both Jason and Sam are aware of all the past lives, while Helle only remembers little snippets. She’s remembering more as time goes by and it’ll be interesting to see how much she recalls as the series continues.
One thing I’m hoping for is that Helle will finally come to terms with the idea that pretty much anything is possible when it comes to paranormal abilities. If she understands that she’s been reincarnated, and now believes Sam is capable of the trick he pulled in this book (I won’t mention it and spoil the story), she should be able to come to grips with whatever Sam Woolf throws at them in book three. I’m sure Mr Woolf has more tricks up his sleeve—dastardly man that he is. Helle’s stubbornness and refusal to believe the strange and extraordinary got her into a lot of hot water in this book.
I’m very much looking forward to book three. I can’t wait to find out what happens to Jason, Helle and Sam. I’m hoping something terribly awful happens to Sam Woolf.
I suggest you read book one (A Torch In His Heart) before reading this book. Helle and Jason’s story is an epic one. Readers should be involved in their journey from the very beginning. The first book has more flashbacks to the long, distant past, containing details that are not only extremely fascinating, but crucial to the understanding of the characters and the enjoyment of the series.
Smoke In Her Eyes is a wonderful, captivating story. I give it 5 stars.
