Voices of the Passed

by R.L. Seago

"Caleb Armstrong hears voices. The one he hears most often is his best friend-the only problem is, he Rick died on a dusty dirt road in Afghanistan almost 7 years ago. Caleb works as an E.R. nurse, and is a combat hardened veteran with one tour in Iraq and two in Afghanistan as a Navy corpsman. He and his friend Solomon live a simple bachelors existence in San Diego, but that is about to change. He is about to meet a woman who will prove to be as challenging as anyone he has ever met and with special abilities that will amaze him. Someone else is watching as well, someone from Caleb's past who is out for revenge, and their patience is wearing thin.
To protect not only himself and Solomon, but his new friend Charity, her canine companion Chauncy and his sister Gracie, Caleb will be forced to confront his past he will undergo and intense personal transformation, from the man he thought he was to someone he never realized.

I got this book thinking it was a war story with action in it as a soldier was on the cover.
Caleb Armstrong is a veteran of the Afghanistan war working in the E.R. of a hospital, he has a simple easy bachelor life until he meets Charity and he soon realises how special she is. Then he starts hearing the voices and in particular a certain voice from the war he was in. That's the voice of Rick-his best friend who was killed in Afghanistan. To find out what the voices want with him he has to admit to his past demons and face it all head on.

I give it three stars as I kept losing the storyline and I felt it was difficult to read. I love a book that I struggle putting down, but I have to admit I struggled picking this one up, I just couldn't get where the story was heading. Very hard to see what's happening in it. It is a story I would not read again but you will have your own view.

Voices of the Passed was an interesting story. There were twists and turns that kept me engaged but never crossed over to a fast pace that makes you read a whole book in one sitting. I enjoyed the different points of view, especially the canine variety. Though Caleb was the main character, my favorite was Charity; she was full of life and eccentricity. The action sequences were well done. Seago put you right into the middle of it. I’m not totally sold on the final twist but, as Seago said, “love is blind.” I would enjoy more of Seago’s stories and look forward to the companion, Tears of the Innocent.
