Book Review: The Fight for Golden Dawn

2008-07-07T16:05:00.000-07:00

Book name: The Fight for Golden Dawn

Author/s: Jessie Terwilliger

Book's blurb:

Rachel and Steven Kade's two-year-old daughter Danica has been taken by Child Protective Services for what Rachel believes is a mistake. Dani is placed in the care of her Aunt Brooke, Steven's younger sister. In the beginning of the ordeal, Rachel is panic stricken and desperate to get her daughter back, but Steven has other "priorities," including smoking pot with his friends, telling anyone who will listen to his conspiracy theories about anything from aliens to the Freemasons, and he and Brooke's mother who is dying of liver disease in a nursing home after a life of alcoholism.

Brooke attempts to sort through the resentment that she has for her brother while caring for his daughter, but finds it almost impossible to even entertain the idea that the man is even sane and stable enough to be a father in the first place! She soon finds that even Rachel is not as concerned as she first appeared to be in fighting to get her daughter back, as she seems more interested in shopping on her mother's dollar and forgiving Steven for his courtroom outbursts, outrageous antics, and his desertion as a father and husband.

After his mother's passing, Steven delves deeper into insanity, and tries to convince Rachel and Brooke of his belief that Danica is the second coming of Christ and that the Freemasons were the ones behind her detainment. Steven believes that if he doesn't save her they will kill her. Now everyone is headed their separate ways, Steven trying to save Dani from the Freemasons, Brooke trying to protect Dani from her unfit parents, Rachel trying to save her marriage to Steven, meanwhile a shady and deceitful social worker is trying to pull Danica away from everyone she's ever known by placing her with some hopeful adoptive parents.

In this cautionary tale of the fate of a small child, you will find yourself questioning parental rights, and you'll be torn between anger, fear, and sympathy for all who are involved. The Fight for Golden Dawn is a story that will give you a new perspective on foster care and parental rights, and just how much the government should or shouldn't be allowed to intervene in a child's life.

Book Review: The Sacred Sin

2008-07-02T23:33:00.000-07:00

Book name: The Sacred Sin

Author/s: Estevan Vega

Book's blurb:

Everyone has a past. One that is inescapable. Jude Foster, an L.A. homicide detective, is on the brink of mental collapse. A year ago, he was left for dead by Morgan Cross, a once-close friend and partner. Now, although forced to undergo mindless psychoanalytical diatribes in order to be reinstated into the department, the world apathetically spins on. When a dead body is found in West Hollywood, an investigation is set in motion and Jude realizes, with the aid of Rachel Cragin, his annoying new interim partner, that the first victim is only the beginning. The markings on the bodies are trails to a more sadistic pattern of evil, one Jude may or may not recognize. But how does someone stop a killer who’s slaying his victims by stealing their souls, without ever touching them? As the time ticks, the countdown begins. They will have one week to uncover the sacred sin…and the darkness that lies within all men.

REVIEW:

My impression upon this work is something that is descriptive but I can not fully get into, perhaps it was due to the brevity of the preview which I received but the writing in itself was good and because of that I am going to give it

REVIEW:

Love at first sight?

Honest to say romance really is not my cup of tea, it usually give me an uncomfortable feeling inside when I read something of that nature. The feeling was quite persistent actually; perhaps it may be due to the fact that I am a private person at heart. However that is not to say that the story was bad, it is not, it pulls you in much like a TV soap opera does, and it conveys the right kind of feeling. This book is not for me but I do believe it much more suited to someone who is more in tune with romance.

Review:

Intriguing and absorbing plotline, the characters are descriptive and involving. Though spy novel is usually not my thing, I am unable to put it down, as each lines kept me wanting more. Though I have yet to finish the entire novel, I can only describe what I have read so far as a masterpiece. This book should be up for sale in retailing bookstores for if placed anywhere else it will not reach its full potential.
