Alretha gave 5 stars to The Breakdown (Hardcover) by B.A. Paris
B.A. Paris is a master at suspense and mystery. This is the second book of hers I've read and it's as brilliant as "Behind Closed Doors." I am hooked on this writer. The protaganist Jane almost gave me a nervous breakdown, thinking she was losing her mind. I never saw it coming. Wow. What a brilliant twisty ending. Can't wait to start another of Paris's novels. I've read two back to back within a couple of weeks. On to the next!!!! She has truly inspired me to think way way way out of the box.

Alretha added 'A MEZZO-LORD'S ARMOR: THE RIGHTEOUS JOURNEY'

Alretha gave 5 stars to A MEZZO-LORD'S ARMOR: THE RIGHTEOUS JOURNEY (Kindle Edition) by T. O. Burnett
Another Masterpiece

I don’t even know where to start. I’m still trying to catch my breath. This author took me on more than a Righteous Journey. He took me on a journey through a World that was so wonderfully built that I could smell, touch, and taste everything in it. It was a World where giants roamed, where warriors wore armor that grew with every battle—a World where the common people were called inferiors—a World where epic, intricate, and complex battles unfolded at every turn.

This story is about Mezzo-lord Adryan Sordyce, who was born to be a leader, but it’s going to take everything in him and more to fulfill his calling. His biggest rival is Mezzo-lord Yafeu, a man bigger and stronger than himself. The man above them both is Lord Danlee, who the Existence (God in this World) leads to groom Mezzo-lord Adryan to become leader of the Alkebulan Realm. This infuriates Yafeu and he plots to destroy Adryan.

In the interim, in order to become the ultimate leader, Adryan has to go on the Righteous Journey and this is where I found myself on the edge of my seat, biting my nails, and tugging on my hair. This author is so meticulous with every detail. It’s like you’re there experiencing everything yourself. There are a number of colorful and interesting characters all written uniquely. He makes you want to root for Adryan as he makes his way on his journey to the final gate. At each gate, the obstacles are brilliantly devised. This writer has to have a genius IQ. I don’t know how he comes up with this stuff. Wondering if Adryan was going to be successful had me swiping my phone like a mad woman. Will he survive? How is he going to get through this? You have to read the book to find out what happens.

Not only is this book action-packed, but it’s superbly written. The writing is beautiful. I have to say if Steven Spielberg and George Lucas had a baby, it would be this author. T.O. Burnett. They really need to check out this book. It could definitely be the start of an epic new sci-fi franchise rivaling Star Wars.

BRAVO, Mr. Burnett!
