"The Collector of Dying Breaths (Reincarnationist, #6)" by M.J. Rose

This is a continuation of sorts from her previous title, The Book of Lost Fragrances. I have read a few of her books now and find that although I am reluctant to read them because of the chasm I feel between the characters charmed life and me,I still wind up completely wrapped up in the stories. They have a way of hitting the right button for me, revolving around reincarnation and past lives and our connections to each other. They are my guilty pleasures. If you are interested in fragrances, this is also a good series to read. Hey, they created a perfume from the one in the Lost Fragrances.
