I read Pleasure and I am one of those that didn't care for it. EJD is an excellent author but lately, he has become to descriptive in his style of writing. I will continue to support him in hopes of him getting better. Hence, I am so looking forward to reading about Gideon's revenge in Dying for Revenge to find out how it all ends, and Midnight by sistah Souljah. It's been a long time coming since The Coldest Winter Ever. According to the list and comments on some of these books. I have some catching up to do as well.

It was deftly and intricately woven with a very thick plot and multi-dimensional characters. It was exciting and racy. The ending hinted at another book, but I hope it doesn't take eight years to come out. I also read Seen It All and Done the Rest by Pearl Cleage, which was endearing and thought provoking. I really enjoyed it. You've Got to Sin to Get Saved gave me the opportunity to go back and read J.D.Mason's two books, again, which predated this one. J.D. Mason has such a way with words and her stories are so unique. Of course I enjoyed this one too. It was more isolated and one-on-one than its predecessors, which highlighted the characters more than the story. I read Blood Colony by Tananarive Due, and I thought it was awesome!

I have been a member of APOOO Bookclub since Jan. 2008 and I love it.... although my pocketbook could use a break... these sistahs keep me updated with all the books and new releases..
