THE FESTIVAL by Kirk Budhooram

Wow, that is all I could sum this up to about this book. This book made obeah seem harmless, still extremely dangerous and stupid, but compared to this book, yeah. It all started when Karen Sookoo received a mysterious letter that got both herself and her house burned down.  Her sister Julie, not convinced that it was a robbery gone bad, enlist the help of an ex-cop to help her find her sister’s murderers and to finally get some closure. A series of events, from various people’s lives connect together and makes Julie and her companions realize that what they are up against may be bigger than they can handle. This book was written by a Trinidadian who can write a compelling story that has you wanting more including one of the most amazing car chase and escapes from certain death I ever read.  Also a love story I was not happy with; Julie chose the wrong man, seriously.

Shari Zamore , wanting to get away from her stupid idea of being in love with a pathetic excuse of a man, escapes to the home country of her parents, to relax and de-stress herself; where she met the most rude man, turned most wonderful man who turned into a complete jerk. Michael Chancery is this man who lets his past hamper with his future (a lot of these types of books always seem to have this problem, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm).  Would it be too late before he lets them both miss out on the best thing they ever had, which of course is each other. This book displays the beautiful scenery, landscapes, fauna and flora of my wonderful Caribbean country.  It makes me want to take a tour of my country for myself; this book paints a vivid picture of my country and the local fruits and dishes that I grew up enjoying.  This boo...
