Not Quite Imperfect : Irene Ayo Asuen
Not Quite Imperfect
Not Quite Imperfect is a character-driven, drama-filled story that explores human connection, tragedy, betrayal, survival and redemption.
At age 35, Ian Sharp, a tall, handsome, African-American man with lean athletic features, was well aware of his good looks and irresistible charisma because he usually counted on them to get him out of life’s sticky binds. More importantly, these attributes were his gifts to women. That is, until he met Kendra Mercury, and everything became, well, complicated. From the moment that Ian spotted Kendra as she was crossing the street on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, he had chased her relentlessly until she agreed to be his. But their relationship was not that simple. Kendra tested him. She challenged him, she drove him crazy, she loved him, she confused him, she tolerated him and damn, she was quite the stubborn woman. Ian Sharp was not used to this…
Kendra Mercury, 33, was a slender, beautiful, African-American woman of average height; slightly flared nose and a crooked smile that revealed a slight gap between her two top teeth. Kendra had the right outlook to life and an engaging personality. By anyone’s standards, she was the total package. Men constantly made passes at her but it was Ian that made her heart soar. After Kendra met Ian, the “smart, logical” Kendra that friends and family had always known, had morphed into, well, someone else. But the way Kendra saw it, “no one knew Ian like she did…”
Ian and Kendra were magical together but their relationship was more than a tad complicated. You see, Ian never pretended to want children, and because Kendra loved Ian, she pushed aside her own desire to be a mom for years…until Liana happened, and Kendra could no longer deny her own desires. Of course Ian was pissed and demanded that Kendra make a decision. Kendra did, and walked away from him.
Unfortunately, without Kendra, Ian’s world had not been not ‘normal’ since they broke up. So after seven years apart, and unable to get her out of his head, Ian bulldozed his way back to Kendra’s life in the worst possible way: blackmail. But by the time Ian resurfaced into Kendra’s life, Peter Rite had already become a huge part of her life because two years after breaking up with Ian, while minding her business in a midtown Manhattan café, Peter Rite happened …
Peter, a book cover designer from Brooklyn, was six years Kendra’s junior, five feet, ten inches tall, and handsome. Yep, Peter was definitely easy on the eyes. When he spotted Kendra in the café, he just knew she was the face of his heart…
There was no denying that Peter and Kendra had quite the effect on each other or that Kendra and Ian were each other’s drug of choice despite their years apart and complicated history. While Peter exuded quiet confidence and authority, Ian’s presence and charisma could almost be touched. It led to one big complicated mess. But of course there was still the matter of Liana…
Rejected by the man that gave her life but accepted by another that loved her like his flesh and blood, Liana was in the middle of the triangle that was Kendra, Ian and Peter for different reasons. However, all their issues took a turn one day when life threw everyone a curveball as Peter’s destiny is decided, Kendra looses the will to live, Liana’s ability to ever live a healthy, normal life again hangs in a balance, Ian finds himself in a unique position of having to make a life-changing decision that could finally connect him to the daughter that he once wished was never born, and everyone else in-between, is left reeling from the effect of the whole situation.
There is more to the story…

THEN THE RINGING SOUND CAME…
Step into my world.
A world where nothing is quite as it seems.
I know I should give you a resume of the story but that plain bores me. And at the end of the day I would rather be scared to death than bored to death. So you’re not getting one. Instead I’ll give you glimpses into the MIND BLOWING world that lives in the pages of this book and let you decide whether you should take a punt on this arrogant, albeit charming author, or just laugh him off as a crazy person and spend your hard earned cash elsewhere. The problem is, this book is packed with so much brilliance I just don’t know where to begin. Here goes!
EXCERPT 1
The adrenaline was surging through his body like a juggernaut; an unstoppable force that would not let anyone die today. He grabbed tables and chairs and threw them aside like they were made of matchsticks.
EXCERPT 2
Bodies were scattered everywhere – lifeless, blood soaked carcasses strewn across the bridge like discarded pieces of Chicago litter. He could see her in the distance. She was the calm amongst this storm. Was this another dream? He hoped so, and longed to be wakened, even if it meant another sharp kick to the face.
EXCERPT 3
Getting to his feet, he dusted himself off. The now yellowed walls were covered in black mold; there were large mushroom like things growing in the corridor – like aliens lying dormant until it was their time to hatch.
EXCERPT 4
“Give me a sign, any sign,” he muttered, hoping and praying that someone, somewhere was listening. Suddenly. Out of the darkness. A motorbike roared past ridden by a figure wrapped in a black cloak.
EXCERPT 5
As he wiped away the condensation from the cold, steel surface, he could barely recognize his own reflection – he no longer existed. Placing the blade on a jugular vein in his neck, the cold steel felt satisfying – peace was only seconds away.

In the process of trying to help Brandon turn his life around, Donnell’s life is changed in ways he couldn’t have imagine.

My Take Away Vampire : Derek Haines
Although Agatha is over three hundred years old, it certainly doesn’t mean that she can’t adapt and fit into ugly post-industrial small-town suburbia. Partial to the delights that an evening at McDonald’s often serve her, she waits at her favourite dimly lit corner table – for her kind of take away.
Being your typical urban vampire, this means that her fare isn’t up in bright lights on the menu above the cashiers. However, she usually finds exactly what she is looking for. Her teenage beauty, long blonde hair and ice-blue eyes are a temptation very few can resist.
After a long and predictable vampiric existence, trouble is afoot for Agatha. Red- headed, freckled and just a little slow on the uptake sometimes, young Reggie stumbles into Agatha’s predictability and turns it on its head.
Add the over-protective and rhyming ghost of a dead poet, a snarling black wolf, some cops and Agatha’s preference for the 1980’s fashion of mini-skirts, satin halter neck tops and knotted white blouses, things just may go awry.
Along with a couple of untimely and unfortunate deaths, and Reggie’s complete misunderstanding of anything at all that’s going on, the awry becomes a dead certainty.
Enjoy My Take Away Vampire. A very different yet tasty little vampire tale.
Review: T W Barton
“A short vampire story that shows vampire in a new light for the genre.
Agatha Grace is over 300 hundred years old. Stuck in her teenage body, she has learned to adapt and currently spends her time at her favorite modern hunting ground, McDonald’s.
Finding a safe place to hide from the sun would seem like a challenge but not for Agatha. Her home is the cemetery where she woke up after being turned. She’s not alone in there. It seems that the dead aren’t as gone as we think.
Gang banger Reggie is a red-headed virgin desperate to hide after a tragedy changes his life. A chance meeting with Agatha will change everything he believed about the world. Reggie isn’t exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer and doesn’t appreciate the danger he’s walking into.
Shortly after her run-in with Reggie, Agatha gets a visitor with news that she can’t run from. Her graveyard companions have seen the signs before and know what’s in store for Agatha as she faces the inevitable.
This was a funny little vampire story that has a different spin on the tale. If you’re looking for a quick story and like the vampire genre and especially when it’s of the lighter comical vain instead of the dark foreboding storylines most take then this is the book you’re looking for.”
