The Reincarnationist Papers by D. Eric Maikranz
2.0

Serial arsonist Evan Michaels's life changes when he stumbles into a church while evading the police. There he meets Poppy who is just like him: they are both reincarnationists. They can perfectly remember their past lives. Soon Evan is introduced into the secret society of reincarnationists and must pass a test to join their ranks.

The Reincarnationist Papers is being adapted into the sci-fi thriller Infinite on Paramount+ this summer, so I was excited to snag a copy. The Reincarnationist Papers is dreadfully boring. Almost nothing happens in the entire book. Maikranz spends his time discussing the past lives of the reincarnationists and how their ability affects their philosophy life (most opt for lots of sex and drugs). I hope the movie will take the interesting premise and change everything else from the book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Blackstone Publishing. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
