GOODREADS BLURB
A tale of stolen souls, mirror worlds, quantum physics and eternal love.
There’s a serial killer on the loose and Angel Copperwheat knows his name, but the murderer is long dead and using Angel to power his quest to become a God. The police think Angel’s the murderer and maybe he is?
Angel lives on the bubble-thin surface of what we call reality, surrounded by ghosts and the fractured moments of potential futures, living in more than one world. Angel has spent his life studying quantum physics, the magic of shamans, religions and myths and the threads that bind them, seeking the science of death and the afterlife, believing that nothing is inexplicable, merely unexplained, and always in hope of finding the answer to his biggest question, why me? Since he was a child, newly returned from the dead, Angel used his abilities selfishly, meddling with time and space in search of elusive happiness and the love he feels he doesn’t deserve.
The Reverend Forster, Vicar of St Swithun’s, knows who Angel is and what he is. Forster has tapped the cracks Angel opened in reality and used it to steal souls from the living, taking their power to fuel his quest to become a God. The empty bodies have been possessed by wandering ghosts and now Angel’s dull English home-town is a mess of blood, rape and murder. The dispossessed souls have charged Angel with putting the universe to rights. Can Angel close the rift, restore lost souls to life, remain alive and keep his darkest secret, while holding on to the hard-won love of his friends in the now, the past and future?

That’s why I added Entanglement by Maya Panika to my reading list on 10.6.12..and it was free. Now, it is available for $2.99 and it is the only book I see that she has ever written, which was published on 6.19.12. Is she a one hit wonder? On hiatus? Living life? Hmmm…could that be a story, What Even Happened To Maya Panika? Any thoughts?

It is odd that Panika never wrote another book or kept at her author blog. (I do hope she’s okay.) Maybe she decided being a novelist wasn’t her thing.
i always wonder too. a couple of times i have read and reviewed the book anyway and i plan to…at least…read it
I always wonder those types of things when an author only publishes once or it’s years between them.
Wow, that one’s got a lot going on! Hope it’s good.
well, it’s still for sale on amazon, so i will do my best to read it and at least rate it on goodreads. i may review it just to see…ya never know, she might respond. it does have a lot going on and sounds good to me
Sounds like an interesting story. I wonder why she only wrote one book. Looks like good ratings, but there’s only 19 ratings sooo….
I’m interested in hearing what you think. 🙂
i’ll be sharing to let you know
Mirror worlds? Quantum physics? Sounds like an awesome read!
There could be many reasons why authors only write one book. Like everyone else, I hope she’s ok.
sounds great to me too and because i only found the one book, i want to read it even more
never head of this one before, looks interesting (I mean, Quantum physics in a novel? w h o a) but it seems sad to see when an author only has one book.
yeah, i feel the same way. that’s a mystery in itself. 🙂
It does sound intriguing. I’ve read a book and then went to review it and found the author had disappeared.
yeah, it’s happened to me more than once and i am left wondering….
That cover reminds me of the local park on the rare occasions where we get snow. I’d head down there early morning to get a few photos!
that’s so cool chuckles. it’s been a long time since i have seen snow in person…and i don’t miss it except for the pics
