Thoughts:
“The Hypnotist” by M. J. Rose (website | Facebook |Twitter) was, for me, just the right book at the right time. I moved to a new state with my family, as hard as the move was, being the head of the family did not allow a meltdown (even though I came close).
Even though this book is the third in a series, the series itself is non-sequential. While there are some recurring minor characters and themes, one does not need to read the books in order since each one is a standalone story even though it might help you enjoy the book more.
The chapters are easy to read and even though there are multiple characters I did not get confused. There are many twists in the book which kept the mystery and suspense up and, of course, all come together at the end.
I would categorize the book as supernatural, only because I don’t read supernatural often. However, it is more a mix of history, mysticism and art. Ms. Rose’s writing is engaging and fluid. The scenes where the author describes past civilizations, which play a key role in the book, are interesting, fascinating and expertly rendered.
The book was a wonderful read to escape from the pressures of everyday life and extra, added on pressures which I might detail at a different time.
So tell me, what was the last book you read which was at the right place at the right time?
Synopsis:

Good Morning,
I always enjoy your reviews, I also enjoy this author. I have only read one of the series, but enjoyed it. Congratulations on your move?
Thanks Leslie, it's been one hell of a week.
Hey Zohar,
Another fantastic review!!! :) It seems in my being MIA I have missed out on some things - did you move? If so, good luck and congrats! :D
I recently read "The Little Women Letters" by Gabrielle Donnelly, and that book (for me) came into my hands just at the right time. I was in a daze, and was having trouble dealing with the stagnancy in my life, and there was a character in the book facing the same issue. Reading about her dealing with that issue, and re-inventing herself was definitely inspiring.
Hope you have a fantastic week, and a superb (long) weekend! :D

Thanks for hosting this review and book giveaway. I've enjoyed M.J.'s other novels and this one looks terrific too.
I've been reading books like this lately - ones that help me escape from my everyday life. The one that came at just the right time for me was BLOODY JACK. It gave me a good laugh and a lot of entertainment when I needed it most.
So glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks for being on the tour.
Oh! I remember seeing your review on Goodreads! Sometimes a book is just adventurous enough to get us out of a bit of a funk, and I'm glad this one did it for you! I linked up your review to mine!
