Random Thoughts With Stacy-DeanneQUOTE ABOUT MELODY:
“‘Melody’ sounds like a refreshing change of pace with a bit of mystery stirred in for good measure. After reading her Strebor debut, ‘Everlasting’ I have been anxious to see what else Stacy-Deanne has up her literary sleeve.”
---Stephanie Wilkerson-Hester, Founder
Literary Knowledge Book ClubTwo stories of deadly passion intertwine in this gripping mystery by bestselling author Stacy-Deanne, who weaves a thrilling tale of love and death.Melody is unlike any other thriller...
Melody Cruz is certain her sister’s new boyfriend, the wealthy, charming and handsome Keith Taylor, has a dark past that he will do anything to hide. Wanting to protect her sister, Melody works to uncover Keith’s secrets, not realizing that in doing so, she is sacrificing her own safety---because Keith will go to any lengths, dangerous or violent, to keep himself in control.
At the same time, a man named the “Albany Predator” has been brutally raping black women throughout the city, and Melody is convinced that her best friend is the rapist’s next target. Detectives Brianna Morris and Steven Kemp are placed on the case, determined to bring the sadistic felon to justice. But when things couldn’t get anymore complicated, all evidence is turned around to reveal a surprising suspect.
Full of forbidden desire and unwavering strength in the face of danger, Melody is a chilling tale that will leave readers breathless as they navigate all the plot twists and turns. Struggling to survive until the end, the diverse cast of characters will be left questioning their loyalties, their passions and how far they might be willing to go to protect the ones they love.

Zanestore.comTHE APOOO BOOK CLUB GIVES MELODY FOUR STARS!
Melody by Stacy-Deanne is a contemporary novel filled with unexpected twists and turns. Melody and her sister, Sarah, are the products of an interracial relationship, a Latino mother and a white father. Sarah is the spitting image of their father and Melody is golden brown like her mother. The sisters are different in most ways, mostly because they were separated as small children when their parents were killed in an automobile accident. Sarah is raised in a lavish lifestyle by their uncle who will only accept the white-looking child, while Melody is raised by her mentally ill aunt, her mother's sister. The girls could not have had more different lives but the one thing they always maintained was sisterly love and as adults they find their way back to each other.
When it came to men, Sarah only dated wealthy white guys, who usually did not treat her very well. Now that she has met the handsome, rich Keith, she is sure he is the one for her but Melody knows better. Melody and Keith have a few encounters that convince her he is not quite the man her sister thinks he is. Keith continually invades Melody's space and her comfort zone in threatening, suggestive ways. At first she does not say anything to her sister and when she finally does Sarah chooses not to believe her. Sarah thinks Melody is simply jealous. From that point the novel takes off.
There are many stories within a story to Melody. In their town, there is a serial rapist, attacking black women. Melody is indirectly involved in the case while trying to keep an eye on Keith and protecting her sister. There are also elements of romance between Melody and her friend, Lucas. This is a fast-paced novel with shocking surprises on every other page. There are also graphic depictions of violence. I recommend Melody to those interested in contemporary novels with an erotic, dramatic edge.

Meet Romeo and Juliet of the new millennium!!!
Everlasting is the chronicle of two equally fascinating Latino teenagers, seventeen year old Juan Alonso and sixteen year old Nina Sagastume, who fall in love despite unrelenting odds.
Juan is a political, outspoken romantic who believes education and determination is the key to a better life. His brother Rico is the leader of the notorious Bronx street gang, The New York Assassins. Juan can't seem to escape the hold of his community until he meets Nina.
Nina is a striking, straight-laced dreamer who's never even been kissed. She quickly becomes Juan's salvation. In return, Juan allures her with his charm and inspiring intelligence. Nina finds herself doing something that she's never done…falling in love. It isn't until Juan rules her heart that Nina finds out he's affiliated with the New York Assassins, the rival gang of the Bronx Gangstas, an equally powerful street gang led by her cousin Tajo. Tajo and Rico refuse to let Nina and Juan run off into the sunset. They will do anything to keep the war between the gangs solid.
Things become even more complicated for Juan and Nina when Chino, a jealous admirer determined to have Nina for himself, enters the picture. Despite these obstacles, Juan and Nina realize that true love is hard to obtain but definitely worth fighting for.
Everlasting is a passionate love story for today's generation or for anyone who truly believes that love conquers all!
