More SERIAL RITES Reviews

“I thoroughly enjoyed Serial Rites and it was a well written mystery that kept me seeking motive and suspects constantly. It was a wonderful picture of the investigative process and the officers who perform it. It shows the moral values and emotional ups & downs of their individual lives...”

The 'Scandal' star is bringing another entertaining Black story to the screen

BY BRITNI DANIELLE, MARCH 9, 2017|EBONY

With the success of films like Hidden Figures and Fences, it’s no surprise Hollywood is looking for more books by Black authors to bring to the big screen. Thankfully, Black writers have been producing wonderful novels–like Angie Thomas’ The Hate U Give and Nicola Yoon’s Everything, Everything–many of which are finding their way to film. Next up, actress and producer Kerry Washi...

'American Assassin' Metes Out Slick and Swift Justice-Book Review

The late Vince Flynn's American Assassin espionage thriller enlightens the reader to the inner workings of the spy world. We read of backdoor deals, hostage exchanges, money laundering, and shifting alliances on a global scale. 

But it all begins in the shadows of Langley, Virginia, the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency or CIA. That's where we find a young Mitch Rapp a part of the few selected for anti-terrorism training at the clandestine organization. A nasty, foul-mouthed, bad...

When Does Black Women’s Fiction Become Just Women’s Fiction?

By: Guest Column | July 28, 2017
When does black women’s fiction become just women’s fiction? To answer that question, we’d first have to establish the difference between the two.

Some might argue that it’s the characters, others might say themes or cultural perspective. After reflecting on this for years, I concluded that the biggest thing that separates women’s fiction and black women’s fiction is about 10 to 20 feet of floor space. And I’m not being glib; I’m serious. Just hear me out...

'Chilling depths of discovery' mark BODY DOUBLE Book Review

Body Double by Tess Gerritsen is my first foray into the medical suspense genre. When Boston Police Department Detective Jane Rizzoli discovers the dead doppelganger of her Medical Examine friend Dr. Maura Isles, we're off. A labyrinth of startling discoveries, buried secrets, stunning revelations, and sorrowful conclusions follow. When writing reviews, I sometimes debate how much plot to divulge. In the case of Body Double, I won't do much of it. But the chilling depths of discovery, whew!
