5.0 out of 5 stars. Love WinS Every Time

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2026

This book speaks to the healing power of love, even after the "midnight cries".
A Must-Read for Anyone Who Needs to Believe in Love
Rating: ★★★★★
I devoured Bad Seed: The Midnight Cries of an Island Girl in under 24 hours. I picked it up in the morning and stayed in bed until I finished the very last page. It is such a gripping page-turner that at 2:00 AM, my husband was telling me, "Maureen, you need to come to bed!" but I just couldn't stop—every chapter leaves you wanting more.
What makes this story so special is the depth and creativity Cherry Dawn Fagbemi brings to the relationship between Vivienne and Jonathan. It’s a journey that doesn't shy away from the hard parts of life, but it ultimately leaves you with so much hope.
I would recommend this to:
• Singles who want to experience the beauty and excitement of love.
• Married couples who want to reflect on the strength of their bond.
• Anyone who is stuck or feeling discouraged and needs a reason to believe in love again.
Final Verdict: This book is a gift to anyone who reads it. It’s raw, it’s intense, and it’s a powerful reminder that love can find a way through even the toughest firestorms and darkness. Love is light and always wins. Everyone should read this!

ABOUT BAD SEED: THE MIDNIGHT CRIES OF AN ISLAND GIRL

A young woman’s quest for freedom and identity in 1980s Jamaica spirals into a harrowing journey of survival, trauma, and resilience after she becomes the target of a family’s darkest secrets and the city’s most dangerous predators.

Bad Seed: The Midnight Cries of an Island Girl is a gripping, emotionally charged drama that follows Vivienne Pearson, a bright, ambitious island girl whose dreams of independence are shattered by a brutal assault and a web of family secrets. Set against the lush backdrop of Montego Bay and rural Jamaica, the story explores the intersection of beauty, vulnerability, and the relentless pursuit of healing after unimaginable trauma.

Bad Seed: The Midnight Cries of an Island Girl is more than a story of survival—it’s a testament to the indomitable human spirit, the cost of silence, and the healing power of truth and love. With its unforgettable characters, evocative setting, and urgent themes, this project is poised to move, challenge, and inspire audiences worldwide.  

Key Elements

  • Authentic Jamaican Setting: The story immerses viewers in the vibrant, sometimes  menacing world of 1980s Jamaica—contrasting the idyllic countryside with the dangers lurking in the city’s shadows.
  • Dual Protagonists: The narrative alternates between Vivienne, whose innocence is stolen but whose spirit refuses to break, and Jonathan, the privileged yet tormented heir who becomes her unlikely protector and lover.
  • Multi-Layered Conflict: The plot weaves together themes of sexual violence, family loyalty, class divides, and the psychological aftermath of trauma, culminating in a decades-long search for justice, closure, and self-acceptance.
  • Epic Love Story: At its heart, this is a love story tested by betrayal, loss, and the corrosive power of secrets—ultimately offering hope and redemption.
  • Generational Impact: The narrative spans years, showing the ripple effects of trauma on families, friendships, and communities, and the struggle to break cycles of silence and shame.


Why This Story?

  • Timely  & Timeless: With the global conversation around sexual assault,   generational trauma, and women’s empowerment, this story is both urgent and universal.
  • Rich,  Diverse Characters: The cast is filled with complex, authentic  Jamaican voices—heroes, villains, and survivors—offering opportunities for powerful performances.
  • Visually Stunning: From the lush hills of Greenspring to the bustling streets  of Montego Bay, the setting is a character in itself, ripe for cinematic  storytelling.
  • Emotional Depth: The manuscript delivers raw, unflinching depictions of trauma and healing, balanced by moments of humor, romance, and hope.
