Review:
"This gripping novel jumps head-first into the controversy of Jamaican homophobia, same-sex marriage, racism, family loyalty, betrayal, and even offers a touching and beautiful transgender story line... J. S. Lewis is simply one of the most promising new literary voices to come along in quite a while." - Stanley Bennett Clay, Writer, Actor, Director "And so the king (or prince!) of gay romance and adventure has done it yet again. And he just gets better and better with each new novel."- Grady Harp, Amazon Top 100 Reviewer, Hall of Fame Reviewer, Vine Voice "I must admit that when I was asked to review Lewis's book, I was apprehensive especially because I did not think that what he wrote about would be of any interest to me. I was very wrong and I knew that from the moment that I began reading. I became so totally engrossed in the story that I read through the night...I discovered that up to this point I had been depriving myself of some very good literature."- Amos Lassen, Notably LGBT Reviewer "This book was different from anything that I have read before, which is why I think this story grabbed me from the start! You could feel everything like you were there with these characters and with the way the author described everything, which was so good! There was action, love and sadness...I was really blown away by this book and I can not recommend it enough!" - Kara's Book Review "The latest in the series doesn't disappoint...suspense, intrigue, danger, love and sacrifice...I would recommend this book in paperback, it's beautiful. Great job Mr. J. S. Lewis!" - Wendy Stone "...Lewis's series about LBGT society and its business world, with a focus on violence and passion in the street-world of gays. This is a book with a great ear for dialogue that takes you somewhere you might not go otherwise. In his way, Lewis is Shakespearean, a writer who sets up vicious and bloody conflicts that mean tragedy for all in a world where only the strong survive."- Convoke "A dark and haunting story. It takes you into the lowest depths of humanity. It shows you how cruel people can be. And in this cruelty, love can still flourish. The author writes well and writes with his heart." - Susanne Leist, Author of The Dead Game "I like how Dre and Jevaughn finally got married. It is about time for that. I can't wait for the next book to come out." - Joseph W. Hussey "Really amazing story that is among the best in its genre."- B. Nelson
