Birth of the Mistress by Onyxx
If I could give this book 10 stars , I would but since I can only give it 5 stars , that ’ s what I am going to give it . I absolutely loved this book from beginning to end . What made this book so appealing to me was the cover . They always say never judge a book by its cover yet the first thing that I did was judge it . Boy was I wrong about this story .
The book was told in each person ’ s view , and that stood out the most . I enjoy reading books where you can hear what ’ s going on from each person ’ s view and not just the main character . The details that the author used helped me to visualize everything . I am a very visual person and to be able to read a book and see everything so vividly is a plus in my eyes . When I first read the title , I was a little upset because I thought it was going to be a cliché urban book . Meaning I thought that it was going to be some type of love triangle .
This book had my emotions all over the place as I read it . I cried along with the characters and laughed as they laughed . The flow of the book was steady throughout the whole book . That made reading it so much more enjoyable . I am picking up part two right now and I can wait to see what happens next . Awesome job !
His Dirty Little Secret by Jasmine Devonish
Amazing novel ! The author did an excellent job with giving the readers a front row seat to this grimy , sexy , gut-punching , straight up street love-triangle … or shall I say love-SQUARE ! I was able to enjoy every twist and turn of each character by being able to view the storyline from multiple perspectives . Each chapter was properly introduced by the one before , which had me eager to turn pages for hours . Because of this , I was definitely able to keep up with the story . It didn ' t even take long for the novel to become interesting because the author wasted no time to give us the meat and potatoes right there in the first chapter !
I felt as if the cover photo was appropriate and set the tone for what the novel was about . Now , I found it hard understanding if Morgan or Diamond was “ His Little Secret ”. I also didn ' t know who was the individual man with the secret since there were clearly multiple secrets involved . I would ' ve named this novel “ Little Secrets ”. Either way , the storyline itself made you not care about anything else but what was happening on those pages .
Actually seeing the characters as the story played out was not difficult at all since everyone was so vividly painted by the author except Rayshawn , who seemed to be one of the main characters . Since the other characters were described perfectly , I would have loved to have a mental picture of him as well because he turned out to be my favorite . The novel is definitely , without a
Safety in Lovers by Devian Nikei
Once I saw the cover , I was excited to peel back the pages of this book . From the cover and title , I felt the book was going to be about self-love and trying to find it in others . I was so wrong . This book was way deeper then what I could have imagined . Whenever I thought I had it all figured out , the author would give me another twist .
We have all read our fair share of books based on loved triangles but this one takes it to a deeper space and makes you question what love could be . Every character was their own entity and made you unsure of who to root for . The main character was such a strong , out spoken woman who I felt was very relatable to all women in some fashion . From the sideline , we all think we know what we would do in a situation but it ’ s totally different once you are in that situation . The story flowed with grace until the end .
I felt like the book was coming to a nice close but in one chapter we skipped six years to come back then skip up two . That confused me a bit but the end message the author has for you was soul stirring . I truly enjoyed the book , the message and meaning . It was great to see love depicted in a different light . Nice work !
