****This Read Was an Enjoyable, Learning Experience for Me
By Auggie on November 9, 2018
This is the third Chriselda Barretto book that I have finished in less than a week and I am pleased to tell you that it was an enjoyable, learning experience for me with its poems and their storylines and all. I truly found this book entertaining and suitable for my reading tastes I am so happy to recommend it to you to go ahead and order it for your Kindle collection right now. The poems here are multi-themed, with elements ranging from romance to thriller to inspirational. In all honesty, I have found a poetry book (here) that mirrors my own books that I have written and published. Just to give a preview of what I liked from this book, here are a few quotes or lines that I am sure will help you make your ultimate decision on buying it for yourself or your loved one for this upcoming gift-giving holiday season this year!
“Raindrops falling from eyes/ teardrops falling from the skies/…Pain to bring joy/ Happiness to lead to suffering…” I found the subjects in these lines to be opposite of each other, yet they are so true which shows Barretto’s amazing wisdom and insight.
“Under the bright moonlight/ cometh she out her mound/ skin glistening like/ little shimmering diamonds/ yearning for love and affection/ always facing rejection…” This has dual meanings for me. There is the mermaid from Andersen’s fairy tale and then there is the man/woman who faces rejection when they just want love and affection therefore it is forbidden love…
Other poems and prose in this fascinating and magical book of Barretto’s are obviously influenced by her ethnic heritage’s Hinduism where she mentions names of deities of that religion throughout the book and it’s all so beautiful to my reading tastes. (I like it when someone has vast knowledge of his or her multicultural background.)
There are also poems that tell stories of romance and love that I am happy to inform you to have inspired me in my own plans for my third poetry collection. I tell you if there is a poet out there that has a fresh voice and point of view right now for me it would be Barretto here. I love how she manipulates the structure of her poetic lines to make them rhyme with each other, that to me, is talent and yes, Barretto has incredible talent. Her English vocabulary level is vast and she knows a lot to give her poems here that professionalism that great poets and writers possess.
I really enjoyed this third book of hers and I wholeheartedly urge you to give her a chance, order a copy of this beauty for yourself to experience her gift for yourself. I recommend this book to all those who love skillful poetry and prose, because you will be amazed by her unique and fresh voice. One final note: I truly enjoyed this work of hers from the other two I previously reviewed because this is art at its best and it has inspired me to write poems that will follow her technique. Good stuff, way to go Barretto!
The Creep
****Scary Collection!
By V.E. on October 11, 2018
The Creep: A first of its kind narrative poetry in the thriller genre by Chriselda Barretto is such a unique book, it's kind of hard to pin it down to just one thing. A collection of poems that highlight the most evil things and happenings, the author writes in an almost wistful way, capturing some of Edgar Allen Poe's essence, in that the poems are grisly while getting under your skin in a subtle way. There seems to be a running theme of horrible things happening to ordinary people, from The Secret Amulet to Deepak, the Full Moon and more. The Creep is a presence that pervades people's lives, takes over and exerts an extreme evil influence. This is an interesting take on putting together a collection of poetry, highly unique and innovative. You will enjoy this evil and creepy collection of scary poetry. Looking forward to more from this author. Highly recommend.
The Creep
*****A Completely Unique Take on Thriller Fiction
By Gemma on October 26, 2018
Fans of the thriller genre of fiction, looking for something different, should definitely check out 'Creep' by Chriselda Barretto. It is a complete story, but told in narrative poetry, which gives an ethereal feel and almost a sinister rhythm, which was really enthralling and will draw you into its darkness. The poems read like chapters that tell the unsettling, disturbing, and sometimes grisly tales or people affected by 'The Creep', a malevolent force that invades the lives of its unsuspecting victims, brining with it evil and malice. This is poetry that will keep you up at night, keep your doors locked, and sleep with the light on. 'The Creep' may just have an impact of your lives after reading this unique piece of thriller fiction.
She Said!
*****A Lesson for Everyday
By Gemma on October 29, 2018
A little bit of inspiration and motivation for every day.
“You can afford to lose everything, but your mind and common sense!”
“Love hurts, but experiencing it is such a huge buzz!”
Chriselda Barretto has experienced a lot in her life, and she has used each one of her experiences to learn a lesson. She has collected these lessons and her musings on life and expressed them as inspirational and thought-provoking quotes in 'She Said'. Through reading these quotes, I was encouraged to learn new things about myself by looking inward and asking myself questions. This is definitely one of those books that can sit on your bookshelf for years, that you can keep coming back to when you need a boost, or want to start your day off in the right way.
The Creep
*****Narrative poetry is my new discovery
By DG Penny on November 12, 2018
Narrative poetry in the thriller genre, I have to admit I wasn’t sure at all what to expect, but I am keen to explore different avenues of literature that I previously haven’t tried. I’m a fan of horror movies and horror books, although mainly the ones from years ago, and I have to say I thought this was pretty exceptional.
With anything unfamiliar it’s difficult to quantify so took me a while to gather my thoughts, but after consideration, and that the lines resonated with me long after, I have to give this a solid 5 stars. Applaudable vision and ambition to even attempt this, a big favorite with me.
She Said!
****Great Collection of Inspiring Quotes!
By Valery on October 11, 2018
She Said!: The Book of Quotes by Chriselda Barretto is a vast collection of inspirational quotes written by the author. Conveyed in an abstract and whimsical format, these quotes may be just what you need to get your day started. Barretto has lived thus far an interesting life, working for the past couple decades as an In flight Training Instructor, and also being a professional jazz dancer. Her passion for writing and being creative however, shines in this collection of uplifting quotes. As she says, Complacency is a dangerous trait; you will find no complacency here, just imaginative and fun quotes that you can read again and again to reinvigorate yourself and inspire yourself to be your best self from one day to the next. A fun collection from a very interesting and enthusiastic author. Highly recommend, and look forward to more from Barretto.
Dreams & Dew
****Creative Poetry from a passionate author!
By Grymm on October 15, 2018
This is the third piece I’ve read from Barretto. This is a poetry/prose book, broken down into sections. The poems are good for a new, enthusiastic and emerging author. Most of the rhymes felt natural, the pacing is sound in the majority of the poems (and the others are likely the fault of my interpretation, not the author). At the end, she includes a bit from “The Creep” (which I’ve read and enjoyed). This really shows her word creativity (see the poem entitled “B i/e tterness for example”). Despite this being a book of poetry and prose, I found there to be very little prose (none, actually, unless you count the theory on resonance bit).
Overall this collection is very creative and has some really good poems in here. The author is passionate, creative, and full of emotion and it's all proven as she bleeds ink on the page.

Titles By Chriselda Barretto
A first of its kind narrative poetry in a
thriller genre:
"Twisted and curved,
Its spine is intertwined,
Faceless, skinless, ashen teeth deflected,
Cries beyond the dead, carries it mimed,
Its soul dead, relentless, unreflected,
Seeking a splash of human wine,
Pools of blood, deeply sanguine!"
-An Excerpt
Enjoy the art of Narrative Poetry Story Telling!
In this Haiku fusion poetry book, I explore many themes and thoughts with an erratic modern edge and have accompanied each poem with its Japanese translation. Even though some of the poem’s depth might be lost in translation, I still think it only fair to give respect to the language haiku was originally penned in.
Read close to 90 poems, with an introduction to “The 7’s” where I express my take on Haiku describing authentic topics like: 7 Heat – Ups / 7 Deadly Sins / 7 Heavenly Virtues / 7 Modern World Wonders / 7 Ancient World Wonders.
Born in the land where "The Kamasutra" originates, I have never taken eroticism lightly. Even though sex is one of the most basic needs, humanity still shies away from talking about it.
With this book, through my poems I urge you to tastefully feel, visualise and just enjoy something that comes naturally to all of us. Enjoy the image depicted with each poem to enrich the surge of emotions you will feel! Another journey, another path, discover some more of your emotions and let love flow through.
"Enigma is a compelling book that will make you see love making in a mind-blowing way. A decent, elegant, erotic book with nice poetic content well put together by author - Chriselda Barretto. A perfect book celebrating quality time with one's mate!" - Debb

Remember ye the Creep?
The one that caused pain and evil dreams
His existence still in question
For leave he never did
Coming back now much stronger
Underestimated was he
Knowing his plan would prevail
Delivering him on to his next wail!
Where hide this vile sickening bile
You know it's true
Safest place, unbearable to view
Clues will I give to you
How will the story be told
End here or start it again in bold?
Read on and dare to enter
A sophisticated path of fear
Leading you on, death is so very near!
- An Excerpt from the book.

Could they be forgetting the most important & basic essence of life?
Ж
Living life to the fullest
means accepting it in its entirety,
so must death be accepted in its whole!
Chriselda Barretto
Mark left Freya stranded many years ago, when they were a young couple. Freya, now a well-known choreographer lives in New-York. She loves her life the way it is! Mark wants her back but will his dark history threaten their relationship again?
Will they make it out together? Will love win this time around?
Walk with me
Step by step
Feel my emotions
A stunning joyride of notions
Exhilarating at times
Dipped deep at others

The true me!
Hidden in between
Simple, pure and fascinating words
I use as stepping stones
Journeying through life
Either in reality, fantasy
Or simply more philosophically!
Let's take this ride together
Mind in mind
Over varied matter
More importantly though
Let our hearts connect
Here, now, maybe even forever!
