The Living Blood – Tananarrive Due (2002)

The Living Blood by Tananarive Due

February 8, 2021 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Book one of this series spent a lot of time in split narratives (and narrative perspectives), mostly through dramatic irony and flashback. We were getting both Jessica and David, David knowing everything about Jessica, and Jessica knowing almost nothing about David. We also got a lot about David’s past through flashback. For this novel, a few years past the first, we have a much wider range of characters, landscapes and even mini-genre styles. At times this still reads like an Anne Rice vampire novel, but […]

My Soul to Keep – Tananarive Due (1997)

My Soul to Keep by Tananarive Due

February 4, 2021 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

This is one of those books that’s sort of always been around in my reading consciousness. It came out when I was in high school, and being a big Stephen King fan, and being new to figuring out what books to read on my own, it came across my radar and has stuck with me sense. I’m finally reading it, after reading a different Due book a year or so ago, and it’s actually a lot different than I thought. I had it in my […]

Blair Underwood Presents….Tennyson Hardwick!

Casanegra by Blair Underwood, Steven Barnes, Tananarive Due

February 25, 2020 by Halbs Leave a Comment

Black writers are woefully underrepresented in my Goodreads lists, and so I’m trying to add more African American authors to my regular readings, as well as black authors from around the world. My local librarians mentioned to me that Steven Barnes is a great sci-fi writer. When I was browsing his books I found out that he and his spouse Ms. Due have worked with actor Blair Underwood on this hard-boiled mystery/thriller series around a character called Tennyson Hardwick. Ten is the son of a […]

Almost as if part of him enjoyed telling her this.

The Good House by Tananarive Due

April 15, 2019 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Aside from classic books like Dracula, Frankenstein, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I have not read a lot of horror books not written by Stephen King. I’ve read almost every thing that he has written without fail. I think I am about 5 shy of completion. I also have read a half dozen Anne Rice books. And I think it stops there. So this book is a departure. I’ve been interested in Tananarive Due novels for a while, but I haven’t had access to […]
