Customer Reviews

Loved this book!

This was the first book that I read from this author and I couldn't put it down. Lots of twists and turns and surprises, which I had my suspicions about which came to fruition. I am not "Columbo" but I am pretty quick to seeing the writing on the wall as my hubby have watched enough shows to land up saying the same thing at the same time. I cannot wait to read her sequel called "When Souls Mate". She has a taste of it in the back of this story, but I am savoring the moment as I am still on cloud nine from this great book. I don't want to spoil it for myself so I will wait to get the sequel. It's like enjoying a present with all the beautiful wrapping, enjoying it for awhile before actually opening the present.

The Root of All Evil

The Root of all evil is the best book ever! It is very sensual, funny, and will have you on the edge of your seat all the way to the end of the book. When you open up this book you are quaranteed to read it over and over again. Joylynn put all her heart and work into this novel, and she did a TERRIFIC JOB! Let's not forget about the other edge of your seat books she got.

Excellent...Way more than I expected

I bypassed this book for months in the bookstore because the cover seemed to depict it as another one of the many ghetto love stories that are coming out in the urban genre.....Not that all of those are bad, but some, with the bad grammar and predictable storylines leave a little to be desired..What a welcome suprise!!!!! "The Root" combines a perfect mix of an urban backdrop, mystery, love, and sex. Yet, it doesn't stray away from a strong plot with interesting well-developed characters. All in all, it was a page-turner, with an ending that has left me waiting for more. I can't wait until the sequel comes out! Buy this book, you won't regret it!

Absolutely Captivating

I bought the book thinking I'd stretch it out over a week to keep from being bored at my job. Didn't happen. In 10 hours I was finished. I couldn't put the book down. The characters seemed as though they were pulled right out of my life. They were so easy to identify with. Just when you thought you had someone figured out, Ms. Jossel threw some stuff in the game that made you step back and raise and eyebrow. It was like being told some deep dark hair-raising secret about your best friend! There were some serious skeletons in the closets. It'll make you say,"Wo!" I can honestly say that I will definitely be reading ALL of Ms. Jossel's books; even the children's stories. That's how good she is. Reading the Root of All Evil makes you want to read everything that she does. I can't wait for the sequel. I'm telling all my friends to go out and buy this book (I'm certainly not giving up mine) and I'm sure they will form the same opinion as myself. Great job, Ms. Jossel. You have a new fan!

Off the Hook!

There are so many twist and turns in this story that you will not be able to put the book down. I just loved the way you knew what happened to everyone at the end and you were not left to wonder. Some things that happened in this book is so close to real life that it makes you see things in a whole new light. The main character takes you through her troubled marriage on her voyage of looking for love as well looking for that almighty dollar. But wait till she reveals what she finds. Please if you love books filled with drama you must read this.
