AVENGING ANGEL: Love and Death in Old Brooklyn by Charles S. Isaacs

About AVENGING ANGEL: Love and Death in Old Brooklyn by Charles S. Isaacs

A riveting tale of revenge, survival and redemption, wrapped around an unlikely love story and set against an urban backdrop corrupted by violence against women and racism.

Following a racially motivated gang-rape by Ku Klux Klansmen, 12-year-old Cassandra Monroe vows revenge. After eight years of training, now a strikingly beautiful assassin, she accomplishes her mission.

Her campaign continues with solitary walks through dark city streets, hoping to be assaulted by men with bad intentions. Those entrapped by her spider’s web pay dearly for their efforts.

Surrounded by three white men one night, she’s rescued by Mike Borelli, an Italian-American passerby. A stormy up-and-down relationship ensues. Ultimately, as her rage matures into purposeful action, and as he begins to see the world through her eyes, they become a team.

Along the way, they encounter serial killers, wife-beaters, actual and would-be rapists, gangsters, crooked cops, a kidnapper and a pedophile priest, as well as numerous women in desperate need of their help. Beneath all the action, though, is the blossoming of a most unusual love story.

Moonlight Beach by Yurie Kiri

Moonlight Beach by Yurie Kiri

Chick lit Café Awards First Place to Moonlight Beach: Murder and Magic by Yurie Kiri for best Paranormal Thriller, Crime & Mystery

Moonlight Beach by Yurie Kiri examines the bizarre and outlandish murders, and gruesome crimes being committed at the charming beach town of Rancho, California. It is filled with mystery, witchcraft, paranormal activity, mystical mayhem, and dark magic. This is the perfect novel for fans of these genres. One of the very best I have ever read. It is completely original with unique characters and an incredible, engrossing and gripping plot and storyline.

Body parts are washing up on the beach and the detective is trying figure out who is committing these crimes and what exactly is going on. Then there is also a group of friends using certain drugs and conjuring up spirits. When the group performs the rite on a full moon, their combined strength gives them more power than they originally intended and they cause the spirit of a powerful witch from long ago, called Katomi, to get trapped inside one of the friends’ bodies. This is just one of the various evil occurrences going on in the wealthy community. Only the friends shared strength can protect Katomi from “Roy,” who is an ancient shaman who has been attempting to trap Katomi’s spirit inside dying bodies while he rapes and mutilates each one. Katomi’s spirit can only be released from her host’s body if Roy or the host is killed, but her presence allows the four women to have power over other’s minds which they wield to protect themselves and their coven. In an action-packed plot sequence, as the women attempt to dodge Roy at all costs, another nefarious deal is unraveling. Ike Bracken, a multi-millionaire needs a liver for his young son. His son’s condition can only be improved with a transplant, but the wait is too long. Luckily, Roy is good at murder—murder is what feeds his power—and he’s equally equipped to harvest organs. Especially for cash. As events come to a head, readers will be flying through page after page to see if the women can survive an ancient madman.
