Dark Muse #2
The GateKeeper
Vi and Cal were getting used to married life, and Vi was looking forward to life as a normal woman, and not posing a danger to her husband`s sanity. But there were signs hinting that her past was not really passed That painting that Lee had done of Vi, a souvenir of their last encounter, proved to be a reminder of all that she left behind, and even more. The newly born twins were a joy, especially Howie. Ruth was different, however. Very different. Lee has discovered that Rabbi Jacobs has a special scroll in his massive and unorganised collection of manuscripts, one far more unusual than he imagines. It belongs to Lee, and she is set on regaining it. That scroll describes her ancient role, one that she guards jealously. Her role as The Gatekeeper.

The Gatekeeper is the sequel to the Dark Muse - and it probably should be read first. I think this one would otherwise be hard to get into.
The Dark Muse is a book that fuses fantasy with Jewish mysticism. Set in Mile End Canada, a religious Jewish neighborhood, a family tradition traces dangerous mystical powers through their line, toward difficult consequences. An ancient scroll is involved, as is kaballah, as is Jewish mysticism, and paintings that draw you into mystical experience, and a woman fearing that this terrible affliction is passed to her children - and its obvious that it has. What does that mean? Book three is on the market and I hear book four is coming out soon. Sequels are hard, but the story is intriguing. Bravo Phillip Mann. I do want to read on. Its a win for me.
