![]() This is due in one part to the fact that Rose is a writer who seems committed to sharpening her voice and her skills: every book really is better than the last. ![]() Of the three, The Hypnotist is far and away my personal favorite. ![]() The Hypnotist is the third of this series, after The Reincarnationist and The Memoirist. We see this clearly in her latest outing, The Hypnotist (MIRA Books), the most recent book in her bestselling Reincarnationist series that was also the inspiration for Past Life, the Fox television series that aired this spring. So it’s pleasing to be able to report that, more than a decade on, this author just keeps getting better and better. Back in the late 1990s, we were among the first to review her self-published novel, Lip Service. To us, sometimes she feels like a personal discovery. ![]() Rose has long been known to January Magazine. ![]()
