Obsession Made Me Do It by Nychol Munroe
Obsession
Made Me Do It is
an intriguing urban fiction and the first in the three-book series of the same
title created by Nychol Munroe.
Founder of the Brix and Brix Realty, one
of the most notable real estate brands in Miami, Iman Brix is the epitome of a
successful entrepreneur. With a thriving business and an overprotective
husband, Iman seems to have a wonderful life. That is until she discovers
something about her husband. More than the betrayal itself is whom he is doing
it with that breaks Iman’s heart into a million pieces.
Not someone to give up that easy, Iman
is determined to fight for what is rightfully hers. She steps up and reaches
out to someone who, she believes, wants the same thing she does. Iman is yet to
find out what her actions would lead to.
An intriguing urban fiction that
features African Americans, the book has fifteen chapters with a healthy amount
of erotic scenes. By placing the conflict at the beginning of the story, the
author makes the book a real-deal page-turner. Though the premise is seemingly
common, the twists and turns make the plot excitingly unpredictable. The
predominant use of the vernacular language among the characters makes the story
sound realistic.
I enjoyed this book immensely. It is
intriguing, exciting, and suspenseful. I find the characters easily relatable
with their flaws, weaknesses, wrong decisions, and wrong choices in life.
However, readers who prefer more
conclusive endings may find the cliffhanger a bit off-putting, otherwise, they
may move on to the second book in the series.
Congratulations to Nychol Munroe on such
an exciting book! For more books by the author, click HERE.

Under the Sun by Andrew Gilmore
Underthe Sun: Discover Your Calling and Live a Meaningful Life is an inspiring and encouraging book
written by Andrew Gilmore.
The book is written to
help the readers discover their purpose in life. The author begins by defining
life and leads the readers to life’s ultimate purpose. He, then, enumerates
four reasons why we are not living our purpose, four steps to living an excellent
life, four traits we must engender to live a purposeful life, and three steps
to unearth what we are meant to do. He also presents three biblical case
studies to emphasize his points, that of Joseph, Daniel, and Paul.
This is a great book. It
is written in a consistently conversational tone making it an easy read. The
humor and the sprinkle of sarcasm give the book a lighthearted feel to it that
makes it even more likable and interesting. By sharing his personal
experiences, the author makes the steps practicable and the goal of living a
life of purpose easy to accomplish. Moreover, the inclusion of biblical
characters makes the readers feel more accepting of their flaws and more
forgiving of their own failures.
Needless to say, I
enjoyed this book a lot. I recommend it to readers who enjoy books about
personal growth.
