Taught by her drug-addict mother to get hers by any means necessary, Tionna's heart is cold, but she holds a warm place in it for Duhan, the father of her two sons, her on-again-off-again boyfriend since they were teenagers, her knight in shining armor. But with Dunham behind bars and everything she loves seized, she finds herself starting over in the same neighborhood that she swore she'd never return to.

I tend to soak up anything by this writer. His gritty description of street life is eerily accurate. Love his books!

Upon the passing of her beloved grandmother, Melody Bennet receives startling instructions that she is to take the ashes of Grandmama Giselle to southern Louisiana. Melody must step far outside her comfort zone in the suburbs of North Carolina to fulfill this dying wish. She finds herself blindly navigating the exotic, sometimes hostile environs of New Orleans and Bear Bayou, and immersed in a subculture based on an ancient West African religion. At this unexpected crossroad, she discovers new cultures and beliefs - and new dangers.

Love. Love. Love history and mystery. Anything to do Voodun peaks my interest. This book has a steady pace. It doesn't give an opportunity for the reader to get bored.

Carl Weber is a New York Times best-selling author who’s made a name for himself with wildly entertaining works marked by his trademark wit and storytelling panache. In The Choir Director, Bishop T.K. Wilson is banking on dynamic new choir director Anthony Mackie to reverse the failing congregation’s fortunes. But while Anthony’s got more than enough chops to raise a heavenly chorus, he’s also got a weakness for the ladies that could make the Devil himself stand up and take notice.

I would listen to Choir Director again because I have run across characters in my own church portrayed in the book. It is funny, it has heart. It shows faith in what's good.

Pretty Good
Revisado: 04-09-13
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a basic vampire tale. Although I'd have liked it better if the author would've given a more historical background.
Have you listened to any of J.D. Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I think this is the first book I've heard J.D. Jackson perform. His voice was engaging.
Could you see Dark Corner being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
I think a tv series. Anthony Mackie as David Hunter; Idris Elba as his Father Richard. Stellar combination.

There is an old, empty house in Devil's Cleave, a deep gorge that leads from the high moors down to the harbour village of Hollow Bay. The house is Crickley Hall and it's large and grim, somehow foreboding. It's rumoured to be haunted. It's thought to hold a secret. Despite some reservations, the Caleighs move in, searching for respite in this beautiful part of North Devon, seeking peace and perhaps to come to terms with what's happened to them as a family. But all is not well with the house....

Picking up from A Discovery of Witches' cliff-hanger ending, Shadow of Night takes reluctant witch Diana Bishop and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont on a trip through time to Elizabethan London, where they are plunged into a world of spies, magic, and a coterie of Matthew's old friends, the School of Night. As the search for Ashmole 782—the lost and enchanted manuscript whose mystery first pulled Diana and Matthew into one another's orbit—deepens and Diana seeks out a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew's past tightens around them.

Historical Phenom!
Revisado: 10-09-12
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would absolutely recommend this book! Most of my friends and family enjoy "history lessons". The way they present the references to some of the characters made me want to research further into the notable mentioned.
What did you like best about this story?
Taking "stuffy" history and turning it into adventures.
Which scene was your favorite?
ONE of my favorite scenes is when Diana gives them the tools needed to make the first telescope. It tickled me that they managed to give a "slight" nudge in changing history.
If you could rename Shadow of Night, what would you call it?
Becoming of One.

I listened to this book at work, on break, during my lunch (which by the way...I usually nap then) Excellent book! While listening, I even researched some of the voudon references. Wouldn't follow them but made for excellent reading!
