I wrote in an earlier post that I won this book in a book giveaway and that the author, Karen Ball, was kind enough to not only send me this book but 2 of her other books. I was anxious to read this book since I’ve never read any of her books before. I sent Karen a thank-you note to let her know how much I appreciated her kindness and told her I would be reviewing her books on my blog. When I went to start this book I was a little concerned about telling the author that I would review it. What if I didn’t like it? What would I do then? I’m a very honest person so there was no way I was going to say I liked it just because Karen might read my review. So I started the book and my concerns melted away.

I really enjoyed “Kaleidoscope Eyes”. It is a story about Annie who has synesthesia. This is an actual condition where a person perceives colors in numbers and letters. The author has a good friend who has this. Anyway – Annie is an artist and also part of a search and rescue team with her dog, a German shepherd named Kodi. Because of Annie’s synesthesia she always feels like she never fits in. This is a story of suspense, faith, and romance. I highly recommend reading it.

One of the neat things that Karen incorporated into her book was a quote from a famous person and a Bible verse at the beginning of each chapter. Below is one of my favorite quotes I found in the book.

“People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
But when the darkness sets in,
Their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.”

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
