Synopsis
Bella Chloe Monroe couldn't have imagined a better life for herself.
Blessed with a doting mother, compassionate lover, and fast-paced career as a flight attendant for one of the most prestigious airlines in the world, Bella simply can't believe the life she dreamed of is the one she's finally living. But just as every rose has its thorns, Bella's about to discover the worst of them never stray far away.
Bella's mother, Blossom Monroe, is an acclaimed playwright, adored for her exemplary works of art and praised by all but one, one who welled with jealousy in the shadows and away from the adoring spotlight Bella's humble mom basked in as her career skyrocketed. With her career exploding, Blossom's light draws everyone to her...even those who seek to put her light out. Before long, Bella and Blossom discover the glitter they crave is just a cover for the darkness looming beneath it, and danger is closer than they'll ever admit.
Murder, paranoia, and deception cast the women into chaos as their fairytale disintegrates into a nightmare. Family as Bella once knew it would be no more, trust becomes a luxury, while incessant worrying becomes the new norm.
Will Bella and Blossom be able to recover the lavish life and luxuries they've grown accustomed to, or will vengeance and bloodshed hand them over to a fate they can't return from?
Follow a daughter's journey for avengement and redemption at the risk of losing her soul while a dastardly future peaks on the gloomy horizon.
With breakneck pacing and dazzling twists, "MOTHERLESS" is a riveting story bound to hypnotize you on how deeply connected family, a daughter's love, ruthlessness, and betrayal can be.
My Thoughts
There's nothing quite as unique as the relationship between a mother and her daughter. Motherless by Kinyatta Gray is an amazing story flushed with emotions. With the quick-paced twist and turns guiding the story, Bella explores her relationship with her mother, unraveling memories and secrets repressed since the start of the plot. As the title indicates, Kinyatta Gray's vivid and powerful descriptions are really interesting at times, leaving the reader with a memorable sense. Kinyatta Gray's writing is controlled but also passionate, frightening. Her characters have recklessness to them that I really enjoy. I found the writing to be fluid, arresting, and beautiful. I could not put it down. There are places where reality and unconscious fantasy slide into one another, leaving boundaries uncertain, but this is because the author is portraying the subjectivity of her main character rather than aiming to reveal objective reality.
Kinyatta captures womanhood and relationships I think the best of any author I've read. The way she tells her stories, I'm enthralled by the first page usually. The complicated relationships we have with our families at times, especially one so foundational as a mother daughter relationship, we didn't know others could put into words. I definitely recommend picking up this book, along when any of her other works.
Kinyatta Gray is a fabulous writer, and this book displays that talent well.
Highly Recommended!
