Voices of the Passed

by R.L. Seago

Caleb Armstrong is hearing voices, and they are causing him more distraction than the war ever did. The voice he hears most often is his friend Rick's-the problem is, Rick died seven years earlier in a roadside attack in Afghanistan.
Caleb is a three tour veteran of the Iraq/Afghanistan war, and has seen the worst atrocities that can be committed. He now works as an ER nurse in San Diego, where, with his best friend Solomon, he is trying to achieve some level of peace in his life and in their bachelors existence. That, however is all about to change. Someone from Caleb's past is watching and waiting, and their patience is wearing thin.
When he meets the beautiful and charming Charity Sandcastle, it won't take long for him to realize how special she really is, and how invaluable her gifts and abilities will be to their very survival.
When Caleb is forced to confront the demons from his past, he will be have to go to extreme lengths to protect those he loves most, and will finally gain a true understanding of who he really is, but also why he keeps hearing these three little words- The girl knows.

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.
