5.0 out of 5 stars The Quintessential Gemini by Linn B Halton 17 Dec 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Katherine Dale finds herself starting a new life after been made redundant. Katherine had been use to working the full-time nine to five routine, and now she finds herself home alone apart from No 4 her cat. Katherine reads her stars everyday by well known astrologer Mark Ainsley-Thomas, finding her life is out of her control, she has come to depend on her stars as guidance in her decision making and looks for and lives her life according to her daily horoscopes.

When her horoscopes seem to go a little strange, by no longer seeming to tie in with her life, and have no relevance what so ever to her life, Katherine decides to email Mark Ainsley-Thomas to find out what is going wrong. Can assistant astrologer James Kingman know why this is happening?

When a series of coincidences then follow, is it fate and written in Katherine's stars what her destiny will be?

Nothing makes me happier than when you start reading a book and you really get into the story from page one. This book is just one of those books. I could totally empathise with the character of Katherine who is at a cross roads in her life. We have all been there at some point in our own lives. When life seems so still for us, and non moving and what a really interesting idea for a story, to have the character turn to her horoscope to kind of give her a heads up of what will happen in her life. So she then tries and move her life inline with her stars. I found the story to be emotionally charged at times in parts I found this to be very moving. An excellent story, that you don't have to be into horoscopes and astronomy to enjoy the story, because this is not just what the story is all about, it is a story of change and excepting change, and moving forward in life and achieving your goals.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and entertaining! 2 Dec 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I was lucky enough to win this eBook from a giveaway on Jera's Jamboree, I loved the sound of it and was looking forward to getting stuck in especially after reading and enjoying The Restaurant @ The Mill by the same author.

Immediately upon starting this book my mind was filled with questions - Why was it day one of the rest of Katherine's life? How did she fall over? Why was the cat called No.4? and so on. Obviously I had to find out the answers so I kept on turning those pages and found the explanations I required.

The astrology side of the book was fascinating for me, as was Katherine's addiction to reading her horoscopes - I couldn't imagine making any decisions based on my horoscope let alone an important one! One particular sentence summed up her feelings nicely:

"It's not that I can't make a decision; it's more that I'm scared of making the wrong decision."

The writing style was comfortable and there were many fun, laugh out loud moments, a few of my favourites being an awkward dinner party, some heated emails and a journey into writing that led to unexpected and, at times, unwanted attention!

James was wonderful, his thoughtfulness and romantic nervousness endeared him to me and the things he did for Jake, his elderly neighbour, were truly lovely to read about.

And now I move on to No.4, Katherine's cat, and I have to say that for me he was the star of the book! The relationship between him and Katherine was brilliant and something I could totally relate to because I'm just the same with my pets.

A lot of major things happened all at once towards the end so that when I put the book down it took a minute for my brain to catch up! A sad event made my heart sink, followed by an unexpected announcement that made it lift again and finally a big question which didn't quite happen because this was when the story ended (my heart didn't know what to do at this point).

So after drawing my own conclusions, all in all this was an enjoyable and entertaining read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable read 1 Dec 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a Gemini, the title of this book immediately appealed, but anyone even remotely interested in astrology will enjoy it, I'm sure! Told from the different perspectives of various characters (except No. 4 who only talks Cat), this lovely, heartwarming story takes us from the cozy Cotswolds to the glitz of L.A.

I connected with the characters - and No. 4 really is a delight - and even with a couple of the elements of the plot (the shift from redundancy to writer!)

A very enjoyable and easy read, and a very easy 4 stars.
