Legend of the Walking Dead: Igbo Mythologies is a journey into the mysteries of life and death of the Igbos of Nigeria. The book draws readers into the Igbo people’s ancient and traditional beliefs about life and death.There is a very thin line dividing the land of the living and the land of the dead, so thin that spirits from both lands coexist. Sometimes, during the story, it is difficult to differentiate between the living and the dead. Both have bodies; the living existing in their bodies, while the dead exist in (are using) borrowed bodies.Fifteen-year-old Osondu has disappeared. His mother goes searching for her son and faces the same fate. She too goes missing.The gods are ever present, in control, and minister to both the living and the dead. This is because the gods minister to the spirits, not the bodies that harbor them. To the gods, the spirits of both the living and the dead are ever alive.The world of the traditional Igbo society is a world in which the dead visit and interact easily with the living. It is also a world in which most of the time the living are at the mercy of the gods.Publisher’s website: http://sbprabooks.com/JoyNwosuLoBamijoko
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W4LI29E/My Review:Magical and yet, SereneI loved the descriptions of life after death as described by Joy Nwosu Lo-Bamijoko in Legend of the Walking Dead. It's about the incredible Journey Osondu and his mother took after their deaths. Magical and yet serene, these two are given the opportunity to choose to live more fully than they ever had while they were alive. I have always loved mythological tales about past times and other cultures, and this one did not disappoint. I highly recommend Legend of the Walking Dead.Buy The BookNext SIX books and short stories on my Review List are: The Carnelian (The Gemstone Chronicles, Book 1) by William Stuart (100% Read) The Budapest Experiment: An International Thriller by Maurice G.

Book Review: "Mercy's Prince" by Katy Huth Jones
About The Author
Katy Huth Jones grew up in a family where creative juices overflowed and made puddles to splash in. When not writing or sewing or drawing or taking photos, Katy plays piccolo and flute in The Symphony of the Hills. She lives with her husband Keith in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Their two sons, whom she homeschooled, have flown the nest and live creative lives of their own. Best of all, she is a cancer survivor.

About The Book
As second son of the King of Levathia, seventeen-year-old Valerian desires the quiet life of a scholarly monk. But when he fails to save his older brother in battle, Valerian must instead become crown prince.
While a traitorous knight schemes against him, Valerian meets Mercy, a pacifist Healer with whom he can speak mind-to-mind like the great dragons. Their bond emboldens Valerian to seek out the legendary dragons and ask for their help against the monsters who killed his brother.
Can Valerian survive the traitor's assassins long enough to find the dragons? And if he does, can he convince them to lay aside their hatred of humans and help him save the land from destruction?
My ReviewMercy! Mercy!
Fantasy, Action, Suspense, Supernatural, and Romance, oh my! Mercy's Prince is a wonderful story where good vs. evil. The good guys are not always left unscathed from their pursuits. There is much sorrow bestowed on some and death does not elude even the best inhabitants of Levathia.That's where fiction resembles true life.
The multi-dimentional characters are extremely detailed to where I felt I knew them, especially Price Valerian and Mercy. The action is rampant, a real page turner that does not disappoint. I look forward to reading the next book in the "He Who Finds Mercy" series.
Purchase Mercy's Prince!
