I'm giving this book one star because the story had a lot of potential. Unfortunately the author doesn't know how to write.

First and foremost, the amount of grammar mistakes was absurd. At first I thought it was because the female lead character was from the South and kinda country...but since the book is almost entirely written in third person even the author's voice was rife with grammatical error. It was do distracting I started to correct the grammar as I read it so I could keep focused. Not good!

The author has an annoying habit of telling us what's about to happen instead of showing us. That's how the entire book is written, and that leads to characters and declared feelings that ring hollow or forced. Rico and Janie were already "in love" before we even got to get to know either of them. I'm not certain we ever, even by the last page, got to know ANY of the characters really well.

And while we're on the topic of love...what's with all the characters falling for Janie? Seriously? Scott, Rico, William, Malachi not to mention a few others who tried to catch her eye. It was hard to believed since she seemed pretty shallow. Yet everyone is declaring their "love. ". As for Rico...perhaps if he says "I love you so much" enough times we the readers would believe it....nah...not happening.

Also the sentences in Italian were really annoying. If you're going to translate every single Italian conversation verbatim why do we have to read it all in Italian first? I felt like the author was trying to show off her ability to write in Italian. It added very little to the actual story.

I could go on, but really this was such a poorly written story I'm not going to bother...just like I won't bother to read the additional books in this series. Waste of time when the substance is missing from an otherwise good idea. I had to force myself to give it a chance and finish it. Not happy with the outcome. Not because of plot or storyline. Because the writing never got entree!

Not sure how this book got such high stars on Good Reads. It's really very bad.

Looking Through Blind Eyes Reyna Hawk 9781432793609 Books Reviews

When I was approached to read and write a review for this new author I wasn't sure what to expect. Usually I am blessed or disappointed with new writers. This time I was definitely blessed. Reyna Hawk has crisp clean writing skills. She develops characters well and develops plot lines extremely well. The book is about half the length of most novels now a days but that was not a drawback. As a matter of fact the plot was so well developed that the only disappointment in shortness was that the story was over and I wanted more. But she has another installment coming later this fall, so not to long to wait.

Now for the book review;

Daniel and Janie are brother and sister and are facing life together and alone. Their parents died in a house fire that appeared to be mysterious. The local townspeople are a bit afraid of Janie because she has the ability to see visions of the future or see into someones soul by just touching their hands. Now it is not with everyone, just with some. But enough so that people think she is a witch and maybe had something to do with her parents death.

Daniel lands a new job that is going to pay lots of money, but they have to move to California. So, they move. Daniel sets Janie up in a new home that is modest but very comfortable. He helps her to get a job (at a local bar even though she is not yet 21). The owner of the bar is connected with Daniel's new boss.

Janie meets Scott, a musical celebrity who falls for her. The problem is he is abusive. Daniel then introduces Janie to three of his friends, his boss and two associates. Janie is nervous around them because it appears they are not nice people. But one of them, Rico, thinks Janie is beautiful and wants to get to know her better. But what about Scott?

Worse than Scott is that Rico and friends are part of the Italian Mafia from New York. This makes things tense. If Rico wants to be with Janie then Scott might want to look elsewhere for love so that he may maintain his health.

During this time Daniel is murdered. He dies in a burning car. Why? It appears to be a mob hit. Janie is left now without any family and without the one person who cares for her. Janie finds a note from Daniel, it tells her that something might happen to him and if it does to stay close to Rico because he is the only one that Daniel trusts and secondarily Rico loves Janie. Really, stay close to the mob guy? Hmmmm.

Back to Scott. Scott eventually goes ballistic and kidnaps Janie. Enter Rico and Anthony and friends to save the day, OK, they save Janie but it costs Scott big time. Rico takes Janie with him back to New York and now she has to live with the mafia while maintaining their secret about what happened to Scott.

To make things short, good goes to bad and Janie becomes a liability. Anthony wants Rico to end Janie's life. Can he do it? Will he do it? What will happen when he tries to do it? Will Janie survive and bring done an Italian Mafia family?

Those art the questions and the story does a wonderful job of making you want to know what is going to happen. Part of the plot is predictable but then out of left field a surprise comes along that really helps with the plot.

The ending is good and will give you the desire to know more about what is going to come next.

I'm sure you will enjoy this new writer and her work as much as I did.

One disclaimer for my church readers. There is a bit of steamy sex in the book, not bad, not over the top too much. But it is there. If you know my drill, just skip those few paragraphs and it won't distract from the overall story. Remember this is a crime family and their morals are not necessarily the same as yours )

Enjoy!
I purchased this book because I saw it had several positive reviews. My expectations were high. I thought it had to be good if so many people enjoyed it. I was wrong. I honestly think that most fourth-graders are more apt writers. The plot is simplistic and predictable which is common enough. Will really bothered me was the pervasive grammatical errors.

I can honestly say this is probably the most poorly written book I have ever encountered in both substance and form.

Do not waste your money or your time with this one.
I loved this book! So many twists and turns that were not expected! I give this book 5 stars! Wow never a dull moment. So ready for the next book. If you buy this book you will not be disappointed I promise!
This is a wonderful book. I read it over a weekend. It pulled me right in and held me in my seat. I can't wait to read the others! Keep them coming!!
