NEW BOOK REVIEW



    Driver Confessional (Driver Series Book 1) ... By David L. Winters






Antonio, a law student and part-time ride-share driver, cruises the streets of Washington, D.C. for his next fare. His gentle manner and Italian good looks lead many to confess more than they intended. On a particularly dark night, a mysterious woman bares her soul and throws Antonio into a world of secrets. With his police officer brother and close circle of friends, he must solve a murder and thwart international terrorists before its too late.





OUR REVIEW

I was held captive just as the riders were captivated by the handsome, relaxed Buber driver in Drivers Confessional by David L. Winters. Each passenger usually asked the familiar question of why Antonio drove for a living, while quickly moving on to share what was going on in their own lives, since really, does a Buber driver even care or remember what they have to say?

This low-skilled job helped pay for Antonio's law school education while taking him around Washington's rich and powerful playmakers in every assortment of profession. Who knew that one of these characters was going to change his life in the most dramatic and intense way.

Linda      
A murder takes place, throwing Antonio as well as his family and friends into a quick  and escalating frenzy. This story drives fast and furious as he sorts out clues and delves into his own investigation, allowing God to help give him wisdom and protection.

If this was a piece of art, I would have to say it has clean, smooth lines, as I enjoyed Winter's use of key words to describe the characters and set the tone. I could feel the rush of driving through the streets of Washington, trying to avoid a nasty outcome if unfortunately being caught. The mystery itself was very believable especially in today's political climate and environmentally conscious world.

If you enjoy Christian Mystery at a fast pace, this is for you!

OUR REVIEW

Wicked Girl by Mcebo Michael Metfula had a unique writing style that drove his story from person to person, day to day and hour by hour. Each chapter revealed new back stories to put together this mystery puzzle.

Linda    
New York Blogger Elijah Turner deals with the difficulty of his memory since returning from the dead. A life altering incident involving his family only increases Elijah's thoughts of his impending sanity. Has his life been what he thought it was, or did his amnesia dissolve any reality that he has delved into.

An intense read at a speeding high rate, facts and lies will come to a surprising conclusion along with twists and turns in this suspenseful mystery.

OUR REVIEW

Lisa Lynn
 This was an interesting read about millionaire twins who were kidnapped by an angry man who hated the twins' grandfather.  As much as I love a good suspenseful mystery, this was a bit too much for me.  I found it too gruesome and at times hopeless and really wanted to just put the book down, but I kept telling myself it has to have a good ending, but I was disappointed in that, also.  I loved the themes of sibling love and religious hope, but it just wasn't my type of book.  I give the author credit for keeping my attention to see how the book ended, but I will not be reading any more in this series.
