AUTHOR: Soul Sister is
Janiera’s first published book. In my
opinion, Janiera has the potential of someday becoming a great author. At this time, “in my opinion”, she has some
improvements to make in providing her written work with the right balance of
dialogue, action and adventure and details of events….”in my opinion”.
GENRE: Paranormal, Fiction, Contemporary fiction,
Multicultural fiction, Urban fiction, Fantasy fiction
SETTING:
Harlem, New York to Europe and back to New York. Switches back and force between Modern Day
and the 13th century
CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTER: Twin sisters but only one is a vampire. The other twin however, has lived for as many
years as her vampire sister.
CENTRAL MALE CHARACTER: For centuries he has always made it possible
for people to live beyond their time. He
can provide for them the riches of life should they so desire. The problem?
He demands something from them that that money cannot buy.
SYNOPSIS: She married
the man of her dreams. His life suddenly
ended but her twin sister ensured that she would always be with her. She would always be her protector.
PARANORMAL: How does one live with a twin and yet that
twin has a different need in order to survive?
CONTEMPORARY fiction: This book is not so much “romance” as it is
“contemporary paranormal”. The major
setting takes place in the modern day century.
Spurts of having relationships is included but not the main thrust.
WHAT I LIKED: Actions
starts towards the end of the book and leads to a cliff hanger. Whoa!
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: While
it is a great story overall, the book lacks depth. It does not pull the reader into the
storyline. It is written with basic events occurring with
very little detail description of moods, character and facial expressions. As an example, what was the shape of their eyes and mouth; were
her teeth white and elongated as she saw the pulse beating in his neck; what
was the reaction of the victim, did he scream; what did the door sound like as
it opened, did it creak open?
Unfortunately this book gets (2) vrooms out of (5) Jeep Diva
blog vrooms. The engine started but the
tires would not roll. http://www.thejeepdiva.com/
WHY (2 ) STARS: Lacks
depth. Reader is just dropped into one
scene after the other.
