The Blind Light
The Blind Light: A Novel
by Stuart Evers
A Unique Take (10/26/2020)
Since so many posted reviews have already given a synopsis of this novel I will spare you having to read it again. I will start with the reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5. It has to do with a few very distasteful scenes that were unnecessary to the characters …more
The Stone Girl
The Stone Girl: A Novel
by Dirk Wittenborn
A Good Read (3/31/2020)

Golden Child
Golden Child
by Claire Adam
Best New Book (10/10/2018)
Golden Child is one of those books that draws you in and doesn't let you go until the very last page. Every character is richly developed and realistic which made it a joy to read. I found myself wanting to know more about life in Trinidad. The urban slang words used in the …more
