Book Reviews: Ruth Annoke Reader of "Street Corners" Street Corners draws you totally into this powerful story of fiery despair and decadent street life. It’s intertwining twists and turns of true love that endures even the worst betrayal and with the memory of the everlasting love of a beloved grandmother. This story is about survival, not only the survival of the street, but the connection to family and the perseverance of true love. It’s a rollercoaster ride that you won’t want to get off of. Jada Durden Reader of "The Magician" I must say that I REALLLLLYYY enjoyed this book... The book covered religion, truth vs. evil, past lives, transformations, "magick", and much more. I didn't want to put the book down when I started and at the very last sentence of the book says it is not the end and I am glad because I get to read more when Crystal spits them out. So to Crystal aka Latte aka Blade GREAT JOB GIRLIE!!! I can't wait to the next book!
