In “The Coldest Winter Ever” the author Sister Souljah used her artistic abilities to give vivid details and descriptions to allow her readers to experience the book with the characters. But what people fail to realize is that in order to have all of those things you need to be a great writer with a lot of different techniques to enhance the passage. When people think of a good story they usually think of interesting characters, a unique plot, and a great setting. ![]()

In Vow of Thieves Kazi and Jase are completely devoted to each other, giving us an unfiltered view of their true personalities they are both so protective, loyal, and smart and it was amazing that we get to see both of them shine in this novel. In Dance of Thieves they are both so busy keeping secrets from each other that it’s hard to know when and if we can trust either of them. ![]() It’s a whirlwind of information but so well written that you crave more! Plus, the dual POVs give us the chance to find out what’s going on during the weeks that Kazi and Jase are separated, not even sure if the other is still alive.
