A New Author to Watch!!!,
This review is from: With These Hands (Paperback)
Your hands can get you into a lot of trouble. Brooks Traver has always been quiet, always watching those around him. After living under the absent hands of his mother and being touched daily by his Aunt Cecile, Brooks spent his formative years in juvenile detention. He was locked up because he couldn't keep his hands off things. Brooks was released before his 18th birthday, earned a scholarship to attend Michigan Central University to educate himself and live a normal life. Until Nicole started spreading lies and he had to take matters into his own hands.
Madeline Harris is a single mom with an intense work ethic as leader of the sex crime unit at her precinct. All of her friends want her to let her hair down and relax...meet a man and have a life. Just as she finds `Mr. Right' she lands knee deep in a case involving the "infectious man case". As that case is winding down, the "Midwest Strangler" puts his hands around the necks of the women of Delta Chi Omega. Madeline goes deep undercover to wrap her hands around the case but that just might cost her life. WITH THESE HANDS is slow to start but the action takes off around page 70. As the plot thickens you will keep turning the pages trying to guess who does what next. Even though the book wasn't carefully edited, it doesn't distract much from the unique storyline. The main characters were well developed but some of the secondary characters could use more work. The ending makes one wonder if a sequel is in the works...I sure hope so as Vitatoe has won a space on my new authors to watch list. Deltareviewer Reviewing for Real Page Turners

Good Story,

This review is from: With These Hands (Paperback)
This is the first release from K'wan's Black Dawn Books. A good murder mystery that certainly got my attention. Not bad for Derek Vitaoe's first round in the literary arena. All the characters were will thought out with enough background information to keep the flow. An unexpected twist at the end had me wanting to read another fifty pages. I hope Derek gives us a sequel to this one. I was expecting to find out a little more about the character "The Infectious Man" since he had an interaction with Natalie and she chose to keep it quiet, her reasons never being disclosed...you left me hanging on that one! Locksie ARC Book Club Inc. Star Rating ****4.0
