Customer Reviews

Caribbean Obeah at work in Greece?

This is the kind of fiction that makes us in the Caribbean proud. Mr. James has given us a masterful suspense story that works at every emotional level. The mysterious Greek characters gave me thrills... that evil little girl. I still have nightmares. I easily give this work the best rating possible. From his website I see that he has many short stories, but i am looking forward with great anticipation to his next novel.

Suspenseful page-turner

This author really has a unique style. He's not like any author I know -- totally original in his use of language. Book is beautifully written (almost like poetry at times) and sometimes cryptic, but gripping. I also read his earlier novel, Secrets, which a friend raved about after hearing him at a reading, and liked it a lot, too.

Gorgeous and Exotic

This book is amazing. The author captures exactly how an independent woman on a solo escapist holiday might feel and behave. The author casts an exotic, and sometimes erotic, and sometime dangerous atmosphere that's just captivating. Write more books, author!
