GURL-POSSE: 5-STARS

I'm in a Goodreads review group. I read and review four; four read and review my latest. So you bet I was over the moon when I read the following. Mission Control, after a nine month incubation, we have orbit. Sambogakaya!

I'm blown away! Mr. Prasad had me engaged from the first pages of this Book! I enjoyed it so much, I skipped right past the excerpt for Book 2, because I want to read it fresh, to see what Jake the P.I. is going to take on next. This book is like one of those multi-layered cream and berry torte's that sit in the window of a bakery in Paris.

The story is allowed to unfold slowly, to introduce you to Jake, a military veteran, and recent local boy turned state hero. He owns a farm that raises sheep, and he rents part of his homestead to people who use his milk production to make cheese. His newest job is as a private investigator in a company also run by an Ex Military man.

The care with editing, proofing, researching and the tightness of the story line is very evident from the beginning, until the end. The team you praised at books end, I praise once more, I agree, Mr. Prasad, you should let your Singapore artist continue producing your cover art, it draws the reader right in.

I highly recommend that you read this book if you like mysteries and thrillers. It has action, is gritty, and has a Native American twist that was just the right touch. I will be seeking out Book 2, it's a refreshing read. Mr. Prasad didn't employ gimmicks, giving this book a dimension that is reminiscent of mysteries you might see on a movie of the week, or TV series, where the action stays dressed, and is not a distraction from the story.

Gurl-Posse Kidnap is well worth 5 Stars, read it, and please leave him a review.

Drunk on GURL-POSSE Reviews

Loved the read. Characters leap off the pages. Escapist modern beach read, complete with a scoop of the paranormal. Five-star thriller, with blood-chilling villains that make Iago seem tame. This is a very exciting tale, written in superb style with real panache. Reminds me how surprising novels can be. Prasad is a writer like no other. His inventive turns of phrase give this book its wit, irony, warmth and humor.

Prasad says: "Jeesh, makes me want to write another. So I'll call it GUT-CHECK GREEN. For June?"
