The Vessels” is not just a paranormal thriller; it is an exploration of redemption, human frailty, and the unseen battles between good and evil. Elias’s writing is sharp, her plot is tightly woven, and the stakes are high, making this book a page-turner.
This unique novel mixes social commentary, Native American mysticism, the power of love and forgiveness, and ghostly spirits. This gothic speculative tale will appeal to sf and horror fans alike, and the open-ended finale leaves plenty of room for a sequel.”
Elias has crafted a thriller like nothing I’ve ever read before … a high quality, unputdownable novel, I would highly recommend The Vessels to any supernatural thriller fan looking for their next captivating read.
Wow, what an amazing story! It has been a while since I have loved a book as much as this. It was magical, heart warming, and very original.
Elias presents us with the soul — free from judgment and hate — and holds it against the reality of flesh, easily molded by human fears and beliefs. The journeys that Vessels take change them, save them from themselves, as much as they change and save the spirits that they help.
The real thing I loved about this book? How overwhelmingly positive it was. Don’t get me wrong: horrible things happened within this book. But there is this constant sense of hope – a belief that people can come together and make things better.
The Vessels is an engrossing, compelling saga about a special brand of death. It’s about time travel in an unusual sense, opportunities for transition, and what people are willing to sacrifice for enlightenment. Think of a blend of murder mystery, spiritual travelogue, and thought-provoking thriller packed with intense moments paired with personal revelations.
Unfinished business — that’s why they say spirits linger on our mortal plane. It’s our soul’s need for not just closure, but resolution that keeps us tethered. So, what if humans could help these souls journey forth into the next life and fill their current existence with purpose? Perhaps it’d be a second chance for them both.
