This story is completely not what I expected. I thought I would be reading about some voodoo or some type of witch craft especially when Pandora was introduced but I was completely wrong. There was really no need for her character at all to me. The story was more of a man rescuing a lost little girl and catching feelings for her. Then it moved so slow, and it gives u a lot of the back story on Saint & Tay’s history. I did have to laugh at the twist at the end but other than that the story was okay

This was a slight departure from Jaquavis Colemans usual work. Mostly because of the incorporation of Santeria, Voodoo and that ending.
The rest of more of the same. It was an engaging, quick read.
We are inching closer to Black Latinos becoming more of a thing (hopefully) in his books. But sentences like "She was full Cuban with olive skin". When... Nevermind.
With the last two books I read from this duo, the ending was somewhat of a question mark. This can clearly be continued in a part 2. What is Ramina's fate? What exactly happened to Saint? More on Tay's backstory?
3.5 stars

JaQuavis could've kept this book. I do not know if they are trying to pump out lots of books or what but something about the latest books have been off. The storylines are so off.

WOW...what a difference it made reading this with the correct version. This book was so good. What goes around comes back around...Karma is real. But I have one question...what the heck was up with the monkeys and green frogs?!?!!?!!!

Poorly written, we were all disappointed because the foundation of the story is interesting. We all could have used more Pandora in the main story. Tay is underserved as a character and the "twist" is in poor taste. We were all entertained by the mess though.

Interesting, but not fulfilling. It seems like this story had so much potential for an enthralling plot, but never made it. I read this via audiobook and was shocked when the credits started rolling. I thought there was more story that needed telling.

I’m learning I have to read these books as if I’m on the set of Days of Our Lives, but that still didn’t make this book better to me.
