Customer Reviews

This book is truly NEVER as it seems!!!!!!
I was able to obtain a reviewer copy before the release date of this book and I could not put this book down. The author successfully weaves the characters together for the makings of a good drama mixed with moments of comedy and great adventure.

Although the main character, Lindy is not introduced immediately, you definitely become entranced with what Lindy is going through from her home life with her grandfather and mother, to her boyfriend Nick (with his secrets) to the other characters she encounters that either help her to understand her gifts/abilities or to destroy her because of those same gifts/abilities.

The novel is set during the 1960s in Washington, DC...although a short time before I was born, I was able to clearly get an accurate picture of how Blacks were viewed and separated among themselves because of their skin tone, hair texture, and facial features. This premise sets the theme and lays out the background with a twist of metaphysical and new age thought mixed in.

The novel is also a cliffhanger. The ending is set up perfectly for readers who want to know more about how these characters move on with their lives after the big showdown.

A Sequel Is A Must
From the moment I picked this book up, I was hooked. It felt as though I had been literally transplanted back to my college days at Howard University in 1967 when I was 20 years old. Every character felt so very real. Every incident was one I had known of or heard about throughout my own search for spiritual truth in the midst of a rigidly fundamentalist church environment. Lindy's commitment to her family as well as to the boyfriend despised by her family were both playing havoc with her rapidly growing inner thirst for spiritual fulfillment and realization. She had unusual gifts and an inner power craving to be set free. Plus, there just might be a genuine soul mate for her in God's plan. Until the very end, my heart was in my throat hoping Lindy would make the right decision. I can't wait for the sequel. Kudos to JJ Michael.

Spellbound
I was spellbounded throughtout the reading of this book. I felt each character evolve. I could see their faces and read their minds. It was as if I was right there, a silent character.

As an African American who is Baptist, I know this story well. Ms. Michael's account corresponds with my personal experiences. Her wonderful way of writing has me anxiously anticipating the sequel to this book.
