A Web Of Deception, August 3, 2010
This review is from: Sweetwater Sinners: the sequel to Holy Hustler (Paperback)
SWEETWATER SINNERS takes the reader on a tumultuous journey of trickery, deception, lies and back-stabbing within the esteemed Goodlove family. Theola Goodlove, the renowned First Lady of Sweetwater PG Church, seemingly lives a double life and wears many hats -- not all in the name of the Lord. Will she ultimately reap what she sows? Will her sins come to light? Pastor Ethan Goodlove waxes poetic in the pulpit and captivates his congregation. After nearly dying in the very same pulpit, he emerges a new and meaner man. Will he sell his soul to the devil to exact revenge on those who have wronged him? Even his own flesh and blood? Damien Goodlove is a proclaimed ladies' man, but messes with the wrong woman. Will he lose his life as a result of his deception? Will his ex-wife, Michelle, make him pay for the wrong he has done? Ms. Wilson is an awesome writer who knows how to enthrall the reader from the beginning to the end. Some grammatical errors are noted throughout the book, but the storyline is excellent. The ending is a bit vague and could have been enhanced. Ms. Wilson definitely has the potential to go from good to great! Reviewed by Marcia Brevard Wynn for The RAWSISTAZ(tm) Reviewers

Sinners Are Welcome, July 13, 2010
This review is from: Sweetwater Sinners: the sequel to Holy Hustler (Paperback)
Just when you think things have calmed down at Sweetwater Powerhouse of God, things get worse. While Reverend Goodlove is giving an electrifying sermon, he passes out on the pulpit and goes into a coma. With their leadership in question due to the Reverend's illness, the church becomes a modern version of Sodom and Gomorrah. First Lady Theola thinks she has a free pass to do anything and anyone she wants. Soon she realizes that the grass is not always greener on the other side. Goodlove's oldest son, Damien, is trying to prolong his divorce ever since he has found out that his not-so-soon to be ex-wife Michelle just might become a millionaire. Now, if you read Holy Hustler (the first book), you know that Michelle was in a heap of trouble. If Damien does not watch his back, Michelle might be more determined to follow through this time around. With all of this is going on, Reginald is trying to figure out a way to come back home. And last but not least, Barry thinks that he now has a drama-free life since Sissy is gone. Well, he thinks she's gone, but soon he'll realize that she never left. With Reverend Goodlove in the hospital fighting for his life, there's still some hustlin' going on in Sweetwater, but who's committing the biggest sin? Although not as great as its predecessor, Sweetwater Sinners by P. L. Wilson was still a good read. Sweetwater Sinners starts off as a slow read. I thought the book would leave off right where Holy Hustler ended, but it did not. You will have to continue reading to get to how both books tie into one another. After a few chapters, the book does pick up, and you're instantly intrigued to find out what's going to happen next with each character. The author does a good job with keeping you interested with the drama that goes on. If you get through the slow start and continue to read, Sweetwater Sinners becomes a book you don't want to put down. I do recommend you read Holy Hustler first so that you'll know a little background on each character. Reviewed by Jackie for Urban Reviews
