“In the first book Maria’s boyfriend, Joe was killed and their son, Christopher taken. Christopher was taken so that he could fight for the other side. Maria will do everything in her powers to get Christopher back.

First she will need some help. She tracks down Michael, a friend of Joe’s that is fighting in the war.

Children of the Underground is the second book in the Children of Paranoia series. I absolutely loved the first book, Children of Paranoia. So I was really amped to read the second book. While I was not in love with this book I still enjoyed reading this book. The way this series is developing as the war rages on is really exciting.

I got to know more about the each side and why and what they were fighting for. Maria became a front runner in this book. She was strong and became a fighter. I have a warning “ Don’t mess with a mother and her child.” The excitement level was high however it did start out a little slow for me. Some of this might have had to do with I had to re-familiarize myself with this series. I read the short sneak peek to the third book, Children of the Uprising and I have to say I can not wait to read about Christopher.

“Dikeledi’s sister Lesego has not come home from school. It has been hours. Dikeledi fears something has happened to her sister. She tries to get the police to search for her but they think that Lesego is a runaway. No one takes an interest until another girl goes missing and her father gets involved.

Detective Kudu and his new partner, Samantha Khama investigate the disappearances of the two girls. What they find is a witch doctor that is making muti out of human remains.

Deadly Harvest is my first introduction to a detective Kubu mystery and the writing duo of Michael Sears and Stanley Trollip as Michael Stanley. I have to say that after reading this book I am very impressed by this duo. This book was way better then I thought it would be. Mr. Sears and Mr. Trollip have developed a good formula for their writing. I could not tell where one left off and the other one began.

I like detective Kubu. However another person I was drawn to was his new partner, Samantha. Samantha helped to bring the human aspect to this story. Whereas Kubu was the more level headed one and could bring good insight with his experience as well.

The storyline featured in this book was scary. I can picture this exact situation still happening in some parts of the world. Thus this is another reason why I was so intrigued in reading this book. Don’t let your chance slip away without reading Deadly Harvest!

“He Who Finds A Wife Finds What Is Good And Receives Favor From the Lord. (Proverbs 18:22)

Word of mouth is a powerful tool. I heard a few people whom I respect and trust their thoughts have recommended this book. So I decided to make this one of my books to read for a reading and reviewing challenge that I am a part of. After reading some mediocre book I needed a book to knock the socks of me. This did not let me down. I was amazed at how much I saw myself in the main character. I don’t think I have ever bonded with a book like I have this one. This book is for all women, married or single

Amber is the new liberated woman; smart, pretty and independent to a fault. She is about her business, can’t tell her nothing. Amber makes her own money, sets her own rules and answers to no one. When her ex-boyfriend, Chris, calls her to invite her dinner, you can’t tell her that he is not missing her. Boy is she mistaken as he tells her he is getting married. Well this sends her to wonder what is wrong with her and if she is going to be an old single hag forever. While at church she comes across a class called wife 101 thinking she will take the class, what can it hurt right? With the lessons focusing on Proverbs 31 she learns more than she bargains for and so did I.

While this is Christian fiction it is not preachy at all. I love the spiritual undertone and it was not over the top knock you on your head type of religion. The points were made and in a fictional way that everyone can relate to. I brought the handbook to learn some new things about myself as I stated I am Amber. I know that the saying is “if you reach one person you have done your job” well Ms. Wilson take a bow, you have for filled your job. I will be continuing on with this series to Husband 101 as I have been told by the author this is for everyone male or female.

“Remmi was the typical female in these kind of stories. You know, sure she's gorgeous but on the inside she is ugly. She doesn't care who she has to step on to make it to the top, she will do whatever it takes!”

“Helen and Rachel McCallister are sisters. They only have each other now that their parents are gone. For years Helen has been jealous of Rachel and her beauty.

“Helen and Rachel McCallister are sisters. They only have each other now that their parents are gone. For years Helen has been jealous of Rachel and her beauty. Due to Rachel’s blindness, she can not tell any different what Helen is telling her when she tells Rachel that she is ugly. Helen’s lies grow when she creates this world around Roam filled with flesh eating birds and other monsters. However Helen could never know what her story was actually doing to Rachel until Rachel makes an announcement that will change both of their lives.

I was curious about this book. I thought I would give it a chance. Wow, I am so glad that I did. I almost missed out on a great book. I found myself not reading this book fast enough. What with life getting in the way!

I can not imagine depending on someone like Helen. She was so bitter towards Rachel. However I am glad that as the story went on Helen did turn a new leaf and became a better person and one that I actually liked. Due to Helen’s meanness towards Rachel I instantly liked Rachel.

There are two stories happening in this book. There is the one involving Rachel and Helen and then there is the other one involving Elijah and his slave Ming Kai. This story was just as captivating. It was fascinating to get to learn how Roam was discovered and got to be the place it was. The Kings and Queens of Roam is a book not to be missed! It is filled with lots of wonderful characters and a magical place.

“Dr. Spencer Black was a good doctor. His colleagues all respect him. That is until Dr. Black started his own experiments. This book is about Dr. Black and his experiments all the way leading up to his disappearance. In this book are all the pictures of the creatures that Dr. Black was researching.

This book is creepy but memorizing at the same time. It was like I was really reading the journal of a mad but brilliant man. I say brilliant because Dr. Black although he may have turned into a monster in the name of science he still was trying to further investigate and research all that science had to offer.

When Dr. Black started creating his own blend of monsters in his lab and the results that was scary. However I was also intrigued by them as well. As you can tell I can not say enough great things about this book. This book needs to be turned into both a big screen movie and television series. Mr. Hudspeth holds nothing back with his first book. I anxiety await his next book. The Resurrectionist is a must read and probably one of the best books I have read in 2013! Don’t walk but run to the bookstore or type as fast as you can online to pick up a copy of this book today.

“Samantha and Kennalyn grow up as besties, until one sets out on a mission to steal the other's man. But the revenge and other sub plots of the book serves that bad woman right for her thievery.

Don't Ask My Neighbor is a well written, character driven novel. It's a books that forced me to question he validity of relationships and people's motive for becoming a friend. The best things about this novel is the rich style of writing. It's sharp, witty, and the conversations are very authentic and always advances the plots.

Great read, and if you love classy, sophisticated drama, this is the book for you.

Review written by Rahiem Brooks author of Murder In Germantown.”

“Schuyler Hunt had planned a trip for him and his wife until it turned into a girl’s weekend. Now Schuyler is left wondering what to do with his free time. Schuyler sees an ad on the internet for a cottage called Angel’s Gate in God’s county. Schuyler thinks this might be the perfect place to retire in so that their grandchildren can visit. Schuyler decides to take a look at the cottage while the girls are off to play. Once at Angel’s Gate Schuyler will get an life changing event.

Right away when you read this book you will see some similarities with The Shack by Mr. William P. Young. However while each book takes a man and has him speaking with God in a shack or cottage in this case and teaches him lessons that is where the commonality ends.

In this book Schuyler also is visited by old friends that have since passed but have important lessons to teach Schuyler. The lessons are the following: Choices, Perseverance, Questions, Encouragement, Priorities, Self-examination, Forgiveness, Potential, Hope, Limitations, Evil, and Communion. While I did enjoy reading this book, it did not have as strong a lasting impression as the Shack did. Still The Gate is a good first novel by Mr. Stouten.
