When we first meet John, he is a paramedic working on a patient. Upon arrival at the hospital, he sees a nurse that he thinks he knows; in fact he is sure she is someone from his past. Very quickly we find out that when he means his past, he means his long ago past life! Silver Moon Deja Vu is John's story. In a past life he was a pirate captain in love with an Irish lass named Kathryn. There are trials and setbacks, good times and promises, and a romance that lives on past their lives. Add in some superstitious pirate crew members and a hussy lady pirate and you have a wonderful story. Marti Melville mixes Irish and Caribbean traditions, Druids and Voodoo to give a story that is part romance and part adventure, but all enjoyable.
Although Silver Moon Deja Vu is the second book in the Deja Vu Chronicles, it can stand on its own quite easily. I had not read the first book and had no trouble following the story or understanding what was going on at all. Of course it is probably even better if you have read the first, but it was good without. John and Kathryn are characters that are so real; they have flaws that lead them to mistakes that hurt them, but they love deeply and have tempers. Marti Melville adds some paranormal aspects into the story with the Irish folklore and the idea that Kathryn has a gift - she is a witch in the Irish tradition and able to heal. Her role on the pirate ship is as the ship's doctor or healer. There is also some Caribbean Voodoo. Since the ship is traveling and Kathryn can't ask her grandmother questions, she searches out those where they dock, which just happens to be Trinidad. This is a wonderful story for those who love romance, adventure and paranormal or any of those. Definitely one that you want to check out.
