3 out of 5 books -

Two brothers, Kerby and Herby (Junior) Wilson, are twins of same parents raised in the same household with the same morals. Both travel the same path, seek careers as police officers, marry GOD-fearing women, witness gruesome scenes on the job, and take life-altering losses. When these brothers come to the fork in the road and a decision must be made, Herby continues on the right path, while Kerby takes a deathly, risky left. Kerby finds himself selling everything chasing that high, that demon who's voice is taking over his entire being. He’s lost so much and every time he thinks he’s the author of his destiny, that voice whispers something in his ear and the craving that dominates all of his senses and demands to be fed is back. Meanwhile, his brother counts his blessings as he continues on with life while looking condescendingly at his brother and the bad choices that he continues to make.

Against the Gates of Hell proved to be a tedious read aligned with realistic actions, reactions, consequences and results. The depiction of the struggle between the addict and the addiction was very well portrayed. After reading for a while, the journey proved to repetitive as well as the thought. It’s the same song and dance, just a different day. The author orchestrated good versus evil, God versus Satan, yes versus no, and love versus self-destruction. They are all too real, with too many living this life in the pits of hell by choice. If Kerby wasn’t tired of his lifestyle, I sure as heck was. Against The Gates of hell was too long and drawn out.

New Review : In the Face of the Sun : Denny S. Bryce

5 out of 5 books I fell in love with Denny S. Bryce’s writing with her first book, Wild Women and the Blues. I absolutely love historical fiction, so I was eager to read In the Face of the Sun. Ba-byyyy, it did not disappoint! In the Face of the Sun is a dual timeline novel, switching between Los Angeles (Daisy - 1928) and Chicago (Frankie - 1968). Daisy's had a hard life, and it shows, as her personality completely changes between the timelines. Back in 1928, she was a hardworking, honest person that cared about her family and friends. In 1968, she’s drinking, smoking, and doing the absolute most, a complete opposite of sweet innocent Daisy. Frankie’s life isn’t peaches and cream, she’s pregnant and escaping her abusive husband. Her and her aunt Daisy pick up and head for L.A., for the adventure of a lifetime. You’ve got to read this book, I couldn’t put it down. I loved that there are history lessons interwoven in the pages, you’re reading and also learning at the same time. De...
