The Perfect Mistress
By Reshonda Tate Billingsley
and
WHAT'S DONE IN THE DARK
Review:
Greetings literary Readers,
I must admit that I enjoy using audible as my listening soap opera for both work and my commute home. I have enjoyed both of the novels listed above; as both were real page turners or listening turners; I guess since it is audio listening LOL!
As we all know sometimes it is difficult to listen to or read novels back to back written by the same author; we find ourselves bored with the writing style of the author. I experience with reading Eric Jerome Dickey, Mary B. Morrison, and Carl Webber novels. My trick for this is to space the novels apart using a month or two month time period. However, for they remaining year of 2016, I must say that I enjoy every character, and the creative dialogue of both novels written by Reshonda Tate Billingsley.
At first, I was hesitant to read the "Perfect Mistress" as I am not a fan of adultery as a societal norm but this novel was so much more than it's title for me. The only down fall was the ending but despite the ending the novel introduced great life lessons.
As a result of completing the first novel in two days, I had been planning to read "What's Done In The Dark" via my kindle subscription but due to a busy work schedule, it was difficult for me to read this novel, so I finally decided to purchase this novel on audible. Like the first novel, this novel was more of a page turner finishing it in two days. I had to pace myself as I was looking forward to working and finding out what happened next at work.
The only down fall is the book was predictable, in my opinion but it still was a great listening soap opera. What made this an awesome fiction choice was narrator Karen Pittman's voice for Paula and her mother. Her voice alone made me enjoy this novel and I hope that you will find entertainment in this novel as well.
Happy reading everyone!
