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.
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!

Some families protect their own.
    Others will kill to erase them.
Vanessa Saint James thought returning home would bring closure after her father’s death. Instead, it unlocks a nightmare she was never meant to survive.

     A quiet, disciplined protector with a past forged in violence, he’s hired to keep Vanessa alive. But the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to tell where duty ends and something far more dangerous begins. Because Vanessa isn’t just fighting for answers, she’s fighting for her life.
Hidden alliances. A ruthless enemy. A legacy soaked in blood.
    As Vanessa pieces together a conspiracy rooted in greed and obsession, she discovers that survival comes at a steep price, and the truth may be more lethal than any lie.
    The Jacket is the gripping first installment in an emotional, high‑stakes suspense series where love is a liability, loyalty is weaponized, and danger wears familiar faces.
