Especially after the strangest thing occurs one otherwise ordinary afternoon: She witnesses a couple kiss and is overcome with a vision of how their romance began . . . and how it will end.

Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston | Review

Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston | Review

Quinton Peters was the golden boy of the Rosewood low-income housing projects, receiving full scholarship offers to two different Ivy League schools. When he mysteriously goes missing, his little sister, 13-year-old Amari Peters decides to investigate after the authorities give up on him. Then Amari discovers a ticking briefcase in her brother’s old closet.

A briefcase meant for her eyes only. There was far more to Quinton; it seems, than she ever knew. He’s left her a nomination for a summer tryout at the secretive Bureau of Supernatural Affairs. Amari is certain the answer to finding out what happened to him lies somewhere inside; if only she can get her head around the idea of mermaids, dwarves, yetis, and magicians all being real.

Mirrors of Life Part 2 by Neal Owens

Mirrors of Life Part 2 by Neal Owens

This sequel to the award-winning debut novel is set in today’s political climate. Derrick learns political strength is needed to ensure the sustainability of his civic-minded conglomerate, and prevent the blockage of future projects that threatens to supplant the business powers that be in America.

Erich Hornsby, the Neo-Nazi chairman of the business powers, plots Derrick’s murder and manipulates the voters to elect his puppet, John Donaldson, president. In full control of the White House, Hornsby attempts to raise the Fourth Reich.

I found the book gave me so many points to ponder. The storyline is set in a quasi-fictional America. You don’t need to read book one to enjoy this one. To be honest, we have lived in this scenario for the last four years.
