4 out of 5 books

Savvy Summers is a successful soul food chef that owns Essie’s Place. She always had a love for cooking and her sweet potato pie is a customer favorite. But Savvy never thought that her pie and her restaurant would be the center of a murder investigation. When a longtime customer Grandy Jaspers drops dead at table two, Savvy now has to worry about more than keeping Essie’s Place open. But was Grandy’s death an accident as the police claimed? Savvy thinks there is more to the story and is trying to get to the bottom of it. But at what cost?

Food, secrets, and murder is the name of the game in Savvy Summers and the Sweet Potato Crimes by Sandra Jackson-Opoku. This story has the perfect mix of a murder mystery with a dash of humor. There are some very interesting cast of characters in this book. Readers will root for Savvy as she tries to solve this murder on her own. What makes a good mystery is when the reader tries to figure out whodunnit and is shocked when the true culprit is revealed. Sandra Jackson-Opoku succeeded in doing this and more with Savvy Summers and the Sweet Potato Crimes. This is a wonderful start to a new series.

Bel-Air meets Legacies meets Cloak & Dagger in this explosive and innovative fantasy debut…

Yasir Salah's life is not without its challenges…

Forced to live with his uncle without a reasonable explanation, he finds himself adjusting to the most nerve-racking situation imaginable. New school. New rules. New flow—while wishing he could hit the reset button and go back to his life in Atlanta.

The changes to his body defy explanation, from the supernatural energy pulsing beneath the surface of his skin to his eyes changing colors to match his mood swings to his mysterious connection to a stunning beauty who has him completely spellbound.

All he can do is what his uncle told him: keep a low profile, try not to be noticed, and keep his anger under control. No matter how badly he wants to—some things are easier said than done.

But what no one knows—not even Yasir himself—is that the horrors of a tragic event have awakened something hidden deep within that will change his life forever.

If only someone warned him of what's coming.

That the world's gonna need him—and soon.

Or that he's becoming…

Sageborn.
