I LOVED DISCORDIA!!! It was so good. I've already started reading it a second time. I read "That's What You Get For Running With Scissors" three times and it seems like I find something new each time. --Chelsea Gates
I finished reading your book today and it was great! I really enjoyed it! It was really well written and I liked the way you intertwined the past and present in the story. Rapture was really a trip, but I could understand her pain. It was a really quick read and I agree with the person who said the only flaw was it wasn't long enough. It would've been good to see what happened to Rapture and her relationship with Thad especially. You should really think about continuing her story. I'm definitely going to recommend your book to all of my friends! Good luck with your success! --Xaviera McDuell
OH MY GOSH...that RAPTURE IS OFF THE HOOK!!! Congratulations on yet another riveting piece of work! It was so nice to see you at the book signing yesterday. I am very happy for your turnout. I read the entire book last night. From the perspective of a male, men should read this book very carefully. To me it almost seems like we men feel that we can treat women the way we please and just keep on moving. There is a clear life lesson here-- you reap what you sew--one way or another. Extreme as Rapture s actions were, the bittersweet victory at the end of the book almost seem inevitable and in a weird sense justifiable. Rapture pulled it off; however, for each of the seven men, all of the warning signs were there for some form of impending disaster. Good job! By the way, I like the touch you have of using local businesses and addressing entrepreneurship..clever! --Rob Thomas, EdD

Serious, but palatable,
By Reviewer's Unlimited (Jacksonville, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Discordia Caught in Rapture (Perfect Paperback)
Having read toniwo's account - which I found to have great spark - I would have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The first scene was a bit hard to digest considering I experienced a similar experience as a child that the main character endured, but in a crazy way, I found myself cheering for her when she made her first kill. I was most intrigued by the way her mind unraveled and how much she was a chameleon, blending into society and no one had a clue or could connect her to the murders. I felt sad thought about that. She was never significant to any of these men. That's why the connection was so hard for the police to put together. Yes she was a bad woman and I believe Rapture does not shy away from that fact, but she felt justified. But there is also a certain humility at work here and the author has pulled this intriguing blend off flawlessly.

This book read like a movie,
This review is from: Discordia Caught in Rapture (Perfect Paperback)
I don't believe in killing my ex, but I understand. Rapture was faced with so many obstacles in her love life, many that I believe that not just women but men can identify with. Her descriptive writing draws the reader in where it is easy to visualize her unraveling. This author tells a very different story of revenge but no redemption. She changed her victim status to a victory status and the end was so shocking, I was not expecting her cold bloodedness to be so unnoticed. On the outside, this woman was a young, urban entrepreneur but simmering underneath was a sociopath, that stalked her victims and eventually helped them meet their demise. Rapture in a word was not to be messed with and when she was, better watch out. This book wasn't a typical "Hell has no fury like a woman scorned," it was far more sinister. She was unassuming and the relationships she engaged in never had a connection making things difficult for the authorities to piece things together. Discordia was smartly written and I look forward to seeing a movie in the near future. I could see Beyonce or Gabrielle Union playing the part of the scorned African American female with nothing to lose in her mind. By the way, for those who haven't read the book, the best character was Brick, he would make the hardest woman melt. Look forward to more smart, different stories from this author.

A woman scorned or is she?,
By Writer's Rock "Writer's Rock" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Discordia Caught in Rapture (Perfect Paperback)
Rapture has had one too many breakups. And after reading how harsh the breakups came, it is understandable how she was pushed to edge. She was clever enough not to lead suspicion but like many things in life her actions from what she experienced from these men was justifiable in her mind. But like everything, there is a root cause for her emotional instability and it didn't lie within the bad relationships but something more dark and sinister.
toniwo's take on a serial killer was more personal as serial killers chose victims with similar qualities. She chose elements of the serial killer but still kept the emotional portion that women find themselves wrapped up in. At times, I thought it would be a predictable plot but in true toniwo form, she goes completely left with the storyline, leaving one to gasp. And the ending, something you never see coming. I am looking forward to a sequel.
