God Ain't Through Yet [Hardcover]

Mary Monroe (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 25, 2010

From New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe comes a poignant and passionate new novel featuring lifelong friends Annette Goode Davis and Rhoda O'Toole–two women whose best intentions don't always yield the best results. This time around, Annette is devastated when one of her greatest fears comes true--and there may be nothing she can do about it. . .

Even though her life has its ups and downs, Annette Goode Davis feels lucky to have a family who loves her and friends she can count on. Most of all, Annette is grateful that her husband Pee Wee took her back after he discovered she was having an affair. Now, she's determined to do whatever it takes to make her marriage work. The trouble is, while Pee Wee agreed to give Annette another chance, she's not sure his heart is really in it.

Annette goes out of her way to keep Pee Wee as happy as pie, but it never seems to be enough. Rhoda is quick to point out that Annette got herself into this mess; now she has to be patient until Pee Wee forgives her. But time may be running out.

Her suspicions are confirmed when Pee Wee moves out--and in with his new lady. Annette takes the news hard and so does her daughter Charlotte, who seems hell-bent on keeping her mother on edge by hanging out with a wild new crowd.

Annette isn't going to let her family go without a fight. But she also knows she must prepare for the worst--because one lesson she's learned all too well is that when life kicks you in the teeth, you have to come out swinging.

"Monroe is a masterful storyteller." --Philadelphia Inquirer

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Monroe tacks on another witty and wise installment to her God series (God Ain't Blind; etc.), picking up after Annette Davis's disastrous affair with a con man. This time out, Annette's long-suffering perfect husband, Pee Wee, turns the tables and dumps Annette for his barbershop's manicurist, Lizzie Stovall. Annette feels especially betrayed because she'd helped Lizzie, a former classmate, get that job. But life must go on, and after Lizzie and Pee Wee move in together, Annette embarks on a questionable affair with an old flame and worries about her 11-year-old daughter, who's growing up way too fast. Also making waves is Jade Marie, whose marriage to milquetoast LaVerne takes a shocking turn. If this raunchy and rambunctious book is any indication, Monroe's series has a lot of life left in it.

Oh my! I loved it! I finished this book in 2 days!!! I was lucky enough to be chosen to have an advance read of this book prior to publication release. Mary has delivered again! I stayed up late on day two because I had to see if Annette and Pee Wee got back together! I guess you will have to read it yourself to find out. If you read the "God Aint" books you know Jade needs a beat down....well aint nothing changed. I have to say there are some scenes and I mean I was LOL and hollering and they were the funniest ever! Juat wait until you read this book. Oh lawd that book was good. I could not put it down. I would have gotten finished quicker if I had more time! I hate finishing so quick because now I have to wait longer for the next one! The way Mary describes scenes, people and emotions are the best ever. The characters conversations are so colorful and funny. I swear I laugh so much and am amazed at some of them. The comments Scary Makes are so darn funny. I swear I want to meet her! HA! You must get this book! You will not be disappointed. It's a must add to your collection.

This review is from: God Ain't Through Yet (Hardcover)

I truly loved it! God Ain't Through Yet was a a real page-turner, and a fantastic read. This book took Annette, Pee Wee, Rhoda and Jade exactly where I need them to be. Annette got paid back for cheating on her husbhand Pee Wee; Pee Wee cheated on Annette partially as pay back, but emotionally he needed to find if the grass was greener on the other side and if an exotic flavor was what was missing in his life. Jade, bless her sick phycotic soul, was finally on the receiving end of torment and pain, if only briefly. I re-read her beat-down 3-times because it was long overdue and it felt dam good. As usual, she bounced back because that is what the "Bride of Satan", (as Annette called her), has to do until she's medicated, locked up, or stopped permanently. Her 5-time murderess Mama Rhoda, should have had her head examined a long time ago. Lil' Charlotte also has the makings to become a lil Bitch. I look forward to her antics in future books. I love the way Mary Monroe weaves the story and the characters togther. They feel so real, and so believable. I could not put this book down. I finished it in 2 days, and now feel the need to re-read it, to better digest the characters. I can't wait to find out what Mary Monroe and "God" are working on next.

This review is from: God Ain't Through Yet (Hardcover)

Mary Monroe has returned with another great book in the "God" series. Annette Goode-Davis is back fresh off her sordid affair in the previous book and with a new body courtesy of her weight loss!! Only this time Annette is in for a shock when her long time husband PeeWee leaves her for "Little Leg" Lizzie, an old schoolmate of theirs. Annette flashes back and explains how that fateful day in her kitchen occurred when PeeWee and Lizzie announced he was leaving Annette; and Annette proceeded to "whoop" some behinds (lol). Then Annette brings us to the present and how she is coping with PeeWee leaving, his new woman and her new "man". Then there is her ongoing battle with Rhoda's evil daughter Jade and her own pre-teen daughter Charlotte is getting a little wild. Annette has a lot of drama on her hands!

This story is filled with humor and colorful characters such as my personal fave "Scary" Mary the old madam with bad make up and a crooked wig (LMAO), Annette's fiesty Muh'Dear, "Little Leg" Lizzie and the always intersting Rhoda and Jade. This book was great and I look forward to more from Mary Monroe!!
