#BEASTS OF PREY BOOK SERIES#

I think a book needs romance but that it shouldn’t overshadow what is going on around them.

The romance was there but it did not take over the plot, which to me, was fabulous. Bring on all the adventure, I’m here for it! The spiders? What is it with beasts and creatures and mysterious jungles that makes me so giddy? I think it’s the Indiana Jones that I grew up on. They embark on an adventure in the jungle that kept me flipping pages with my eyes bugging out of my head. A tragedy leaves her running for her life where she runs into Ekon and their paths converge. Koffi and her mom are indentured to a circus. Only when we cast light on them and acknowledge them can they truly be vanquished, allowing our spirits to be free.” But in truth, avoiding our troubles simply gives them more sustenance, allowing them to eventually consume us whole. “Often, we run from painful things and hope that they will tire of chasing us. It’s almost 500 pages! It hooked me right from the start and I couldn’t wait to get back to reading. (4.5 / 5) This was fabulous! I wanted to read it in one day. Our duty is not to question them, but to follow them.”

Some are as straight as an arrow, others twist and tangle like thread.
