CRYSTAL SHADOWS JOY NASH ISBN#: 1-4199-0059-5 November 2004 Ellora’s Cave Publishing, Inc. www.ellorascave.com E-Book $7.99 Fantasy 259 Pages Rating: 5 Cups Gina Petrillo was your average everyday geologist with her long dark hair and dark eyes.  So what if she is a sorceress temporarily?  Does not everyone go to the Wizard’s Ball?  One lousy little crystal reading over a chunk of selenite that predicted journey far from home has her in the middle of the trouble of her life.  A sacred joining of lovers is her only way out. Derrin is of the Baha’Na.  His mind and his control of the crystals are the key.  Yes, he has been wandering around in Gina’s mind.  He is, after all, her partner in the sacred joining of lovers.  Her lover is also Gina’s way back home through the web.  The web is the golden net that binds the edges of the world.  It is also the barrier to Gina’s world. Joy Nash has introduced us to the seven clans of the Baha’Na and seven signs.  Her adroit manipulation of a complex scenario makes for a delightful story.  Her plot is not complicated, and the flow is smooth and effortless.  You just keep turning the pages because it is so good.  This book is enchanting and original.  I recommend it to everyone who enjoys an excellent read, especially fantasy.  Buy it and add it to your library.  You will want to read it again.
