My 5-Star review in entirety published at Amazon for Book 1 in R.M. Gauthier's Magical Realism series:

Having read the prequel, ‘The Great Escape,’ I willingly entered the Realm of Lost Souls to find out what befell Aaron after he made a life-altering decision. So glad I did!

Where Aaron landed: Nevaeh, a heavenly angel; Fallen, the dark, handsome, Hell’s angel—can’t answer the million dollar question Aaron posed to them. “Am I dead?”

Besides the author’s unique storyline, the dialogue between all three characters is convincing and edgy.

With a doomed romance between Nevaeh and Fallen not likely to materialize in any realm, and a mission to reclaim Aaron’s soul after he takes off, I look forward to picking up this story with a whole lotta soul in Book 2, ‘The Realm of Betrayal’.
