The Brutal Telling Written by Louise Penny

AT 503 pages you finally come to see
Olivier for what he could really be
The Brutal Telling
A tale of priceless treasures selling
A stranger found dead in Three Pines
Someone will have to pay the macabre fines
Meanwhile, Gamache is running out of time
Going back in the past is how he will solve the crime
In the Queen Charlotte Islands he must track
For the wood the slain man made was found in a sack
And each carving an intricate element of the pack
Of precious treasures the killer wanted to take back
Quite in contrast
All the details were made manifest in the past
And the killer was forced to act fast
Because he knew his deception would not last
In the end most of the town was in disbelief
While others felt a measure of strained relief
To get the hermit's treasure
He had to go to extreme measures
And in the end only resulted in eternal displeasure

The Apology Written by Eve Ensler

Through this letter of unveiling; a young girl exposed to an empire of despair gains a  modicum  of ablution Created in the voice of her long dead father she articulates the momentous confession he should have  conveyed; not necessarily for retribution The victim is consumed by self-loathing, mental turbulence, and grief While the witness battles against overwhelming doubt and disbelief That the abuser dares to rationalize the lewd & lascivious behavior Implying he lacked control, he misinterpreted, that she was the inevitable traitor The author, Eve, penetrates the veil of sexual and psychological trauma only intimated That most people incorrectly conclude takes one that looks visibly evil to have orchestrated The devastating revelation comes when she gives voice to the cacophony of deleterious effects Culminating from emotional desertion, and unrestrained perversion that went unchecked Her mother and siblings bared witness to her gradual physica...

My Besties:The Come Up written by Asia Hill

Four girls with tragic backgrounds named Ja’ziya, Tiki, ReRe, and Dirty E decide that they have to level up and get money. They began robbing local drug dealers that soon leads to bank robbery, and occasionally murder. These young, smart but misguided young lady’s take the dangerous route to success. Even in the end when their life is on the line, there isn’t much regret, just reminiscing and acceptance. I admit that all four girls still keep their head in the books and look out for each other no matter what circumstances or events occurred. The story line was very nice and well thought out.  However, I would’ve liked for the book to be a bit more detailed. Also, there were quite a few grammatical errors that were missed by the editor. Overall I still enjoyed the read, the ending was an attention grabber for sure!  Written by Guest Contributor: Chelsea Henderson Genre: Urban Fiction
