Love's Second Sight

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Writer
Review: I want to say first-off that Ms. Foster is a very gifted writer. The forming of such a complex story from start to completion could only be accomplished by a writer with an excellent grasp of the craft. It is evident throughout the story that the author has researched her subject matter and has incorporated details of character development, location and overall presentation with this research in mind. May I say, "Well done, Ms. Foster."

The story of forbidden love is set in the year 999. We meet Thorgunna Vagndottir, Lady Jar, mistress of the Isle of Tiree. A young, beautiful widow captured in the clutches of the evil self-named god, Loki, who lusts after her beauty and the power she possesses as the mistress of Tiree. He is determined to rule and reign over her and all her kingdom.

We are introduced to Lerf, son of the ruler of Greenland who is shipwrecked on her island on his way to Norway, where he hopes to open the lines of trade between the two lands, and whom is destined to become one with Thorgunna.

Thorgunna is gifted with what she calls 'The Second Sight." The story whirls around her visions as she battles the evil villain, Loki, for control of her soul and her island. We watch her struggle against the love she cannot control for the beautiful Viking that hungers for her, yet must continue on his journey and the quest that is set before him. Little did he know he would hold the secret to Thorgunna's freedom.

"Love's Second Sight" is brimming with supernatural events, demonic inspired turmoils and the search for the one thing that will end the terror and the evil plot of the self-made god, Loki. That can only be accomplished in the acceptance of the White Christ who has authority over all. Unfortunately, Thorgunna must battle her own fears, doubts and hatred that has been instilled in her from previous self-made demonic gods, before she would ever be able to trust in the true God, a God she cannot see. Her journey and that of Leif's causes one to wonder if theirs will always be a forbidden love. Wonder if she will ever open her eyes to the only God who truly can transform her life and still the storm within her. The answer to that you will have to find out yourself.

The only drawback that I had with this work was the strong sexual content that fills the pages. If you are not comfortable with detailed sexual experiences then you will not want to read this work.

Final analysis: Superb writing, top-notched storyline, heart-stopping conclusion, but for me the explicit sexual content definitely took away from an otherwise outstanding read.

Summary: My sister's book
Review: Even if D. Foster wasn't my sister, I'd still write the same things about the book. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down! Thorgunna and Leif found true love in each other and I felt like I was right there with them sharing in their adventures. I would like to see a second book come out telling about their life together.

Summary: A wonderful, well written novel!
Review: The story line was fast paced and captivating. Steamy and erotic! The characters were strong and well developed. Ms. Foster made me care about what happened to them. By the time I got to the second half of the book, I couldn't put it down. I was up reading until 3:00 am, with a flashlight, so as not to disturb my sleeping husband. Hard to believe that this was Ms. Foster's first novel - I'll be waiting impatiently for the next......
