Synopsis
An introduction made . . . a new love born . . . society, families, and friends against it. A new power appears . . . a secret told . . . a culprit revealed. Will love survive? Will they survive? As Remy struggles to come to grips with her feelings for Jace, an Auralite of a different type, she has no idea that "one of their own kind" is revealing their existence, in a succession of dreams, to a world-renowned journalist. The hunt is on to find the culprit once the journalist reveals the dreams as a series of fictional accounts in a national magazine. Just as Remy starts to accept Jace, the guilty party is revealed to be someone they both know and love. They are now compelled to find the journalist before their ruling body, The Council, does . . . or the results will be disastrous. Does the hunt strengthen them, hurt them, or rip them apart?

May 14, 2008: The Aura of Love is an excellent, brilliantly written offering by author Kathy J. Marsh! I am in complete awe as I've just read the final words to this story. The lives of the Auralites reminded me so much of the racism that still exists, though not as boldly, in the world today. So much hurt, pain, and hatred still linger and so many people continue to see race rather than seeing a person for who he or she is. I love the obstacles the characters are challenged to overcome. The love story between Remy and Jace is like none other! The friendships family relationships-wow-I felt as if I knew every single character personally because Kathy's vivid descriptions breathed life into them. I can't say enough about this book only that I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is searching for a well-written book. It's a long read but every page is relevant! Well done, Kathy, well done!

April 10, 2008: Kathy J. Marsh, author of short stories - Struck by Lightening and Wedding Interrupted and recent nominee at the Harlem Book Fair for an African American Literary Award in the Romance category - is deserving of the many kudos she has received for her first full length novel. The Aura of love is a timeless story of love against enormous odds but it's told with a supernatural twist. Marsh has created loveable, rich characters in Jace and Remy. To the ordinary human eye they are both attractive African American professionals who seem to have a serious chemistry between them when they first meet. Those that share their secret - those known as Auralites, can see clearly that each is from a distinct coven with very different histories, histories which make them natural enemies. The star-crossed lovers find themselves having to choose between blood-ties and love-ties. Marsh uses allegory beautifully to illustrate the age old antagonist - prejudice and show how it affects our most intimate relationships - sometimes overtly and sometimes in ways we may keep hidden from ourselves. The reading is thought provoking, funny ' I laughed out loud', and subtly sexy. The story is layered with plot and sub-plot as Jace pursues Remy 'brothers take a lesson', family secrets are discovered and the true nature of both friend and relative is exposed. The continuity in the telling was solid. I found no I un-dotted nor T un-crossed 'not that I was looking - wink/wink'. After the first crescendo and there were a few, I was leery - I had quite a lot of book to go but I was pleasantly surprised. The reading was fast paced and held my attention until the very end. I found her narration fresh and witty. Sister may have you breaking out your dictionary. I think I learned a few new words .That's what it's all about for me though - I want to be enriched in some way when I read. I was not disappointed here. Well done Kathy Marsh. Terri E.
