The Aura of Love is a real thought-provoking tale by Kathy J. Marsh about a race of power possessing beings called Auralites. They are called Auralites, because of the color of their auras. Humans are unaware of their existence, because all Auralites live on an island not far from Charlotte, NC. In this race of beings, there are two covens: The Blue coven and the Purple coven. The mistrust and racism among the two covens is the main focus of this story.
Remy, a Purple Auralite, is a dress maker who owns her own blooming small business. One day, while in a book store picking up the latest installment of her favorite series she meets Jace, a Blue Auarlite. After talking to Jace for awhile in the book store she realizes not only do they click, but he's one of her favorite authors. It's obvious throughout the book that the two have feelings for each other, but Remy is very hesitant about acting on her feelings because Jace is a Blue Auralite.
In the meantime, unbeknownst to the Auralites, someone is telling a human reporter about their total history of existence through a series of dreams. Just as Jace and Remy come together as a couple, the Auralites discover that someone is revealing their existence when they see an article in a famous human magazine. Unfortunately, they discover who the guilty party is and who is revealing their existence. They must find the reporter before their council of leaders find him and try to put a stop to the stories. For if the council of leaders discover who the reporter is and the Auralite who is telling him about their existence, they will put them both to death.
This book was really a joy to read and has all the makings of a series. Even though it started out kind of slow, it quickly picked up and held my attention hostage. The characters were enjoyable, because they were given very realistic characteristics. I swear that I have girlfriends who have the same attitude and mannerisms as Remy's. Also, Jace and his best friend Darius reminded me of my brothers and some of my male cousins. I must say that Ms. Marsh expertly weaved a tale unlike any that I have ever read. Not only did the book have touches of mystery and family drama, but it dealt with current social and dating issues as well. Sometimes, I couldn't tell if I was reading fiction or in the middle of a discussion about the different attitudes of dating with some of my single friends. This book will really make you think and become conscious about your feelings when it comes to dating. If you really like a good book that makes you think, then I truly recommend Aura of Love. I really hope that there will be a sequel in the future, because I would love to read more about the Auralites.
