It Was In Our Hands
It Was In Our Hands by M.C Ronen brings to an end an enlightening read of M.C Ronen’s ethical thrillers. Now a full-fledged activist, a far cry from the young enslaved escapee from Nature’s farm, Sunny takes the mantle of leadership at the Liberation Movement. Sunny and her activist friends are still working towards rescuing and rehabilitating enslaved persons, but they venture into the political scene with a twist. Now that Sunny has more people in her life to protect, the mission to change the status quo might be a massive step towards achieving total liberation or just another costly mistake.
The Liberation trilogy has been a roller coaster of events, and the final isn’t any different. This time Ronen tells the story from other characters’ points of view, including that of enslaved persons and reformed perpetrators. Her new approach is insightful, and once again, M.C Ronen has managed to convince readers about everything that is wrong with abusing other sensate creatures. M.C Ronen’s unique writing style always vividly represents her message and more so in the final book.
Unlike the earlier series, Ronen barely uses metaphors, and readers can get a clearer picture of the veganism message she’s trying to convey. However, the chapters are concise, containing bits and pieces of different soliloquies. Obviously, the author was trying to tie up all loose ends, giving readers closure on the future of all characters, both past, and present.
It Was In Our Hands by M.C Ronen was more thrilling than the two previous trilogy parts. Although, I wouldn’t recommend reading the third book in isolation from the previous two because it might be challenging to connect many dots. This suspenseful conclusion to the storyline is not one to miss and will leave readers with much to think about.

Camp David Conspiracy
The war on drugs in America is raging. Everyone, from low-income communities to the high-end politicians, lawyers, and doctors, enjoys the hard-hitting high that comes from cocaine, heroin, and other recreational drugs. Unfortunately, federal government organizations like the DEA and FBI are at a loss on how to stop this profitable and overly active industry. It is not until President Osbourne’s best friend loses his son to a mugging gone wrong by a drug addict looking for cash to pay for his next hit that he takes the war on drugs seriously. Too seriously. Casualties on both sides of this war reveal corruption and conspiracies from every angle. Author Antim Straus writes a fictional piece based on the history of the War on Drugs in Camp David Conspiracy.
The author has a solid understanding of politics and the war on drugs, and it is clear the author has done his research. Character development is one of the highlights of this novel. The story follows several characters from the White House, the Cartel, reporter Wines, drug dealers, and many more. I really enjoyed this approach because I was able to see from each character’s perspective how drugs personally affected their lives. The author’s ability to create a wide cast of characters is one to be applauded, as each character was very different and believable.
The author seamlessly changes perspectives between characters within each chapter; I always knew who was talking and whose thoughts readers were listening in on. In addition, the author explains in detail concepts like buyers, sellers, dropping packages, runners, etc., which allows the reader to understand the criminal side of drug dealing. I felt like I was watching a crime show, and I found it hard to put this book down. I also liked how pieces of the news articles were inserted into the book, fully immersing the reader in the drama.
I feel this book is more of a crime thriller than a political thriller, and I only mention this as it may deter other readers from picking up this enticing book. Camp David Conspiracy is a raw, gritty, and intense read that takes the reader into a deep dive into the drug operation and the war on drugs. This is the first book in Antim Straus’s Geoffrey Wines Series. I look forward to reading the second book in the series Disorder.
Camp David Conspiracy is a riveting political thriller novel that will have readers on edge with each suspenseful chapter. This crime fiction book is filled with intimate details of how drug rings are conducted and the conspiracy of those in high political places.

Burning Without Knowing
Burning Without Knowing by Mike Mallow is a thrilling crime novel following a twisting chase with enough turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. Shawna finds herself sucked into a darkness that she never wished for. She wanted a normal life and a job as a journalist, but her family led her on a blind chase. Not only did she find a job as a journalist, but she uncovered many secrets that were the veil used by the illegal mafia lords.
Author Mike Mallow’s writing style is gripping, and the plot is fast-paced with interconnected narratives connecting the characters. The events are exciting, and the near misses in the book will excite readers. It was a thrilling chase, and the uncertainty of the events made this book an edge-of-your-seat read.
The characters in the book are furnished with equally interesting backgrounds. Female leads are strong-willed and self-sufficient in handling all the situations even though the force opposite them outnumber them. The male leads are few, but they also are well-constructed. I relished the action scenes where the skirmishes between the parties are explored in detail. The near misses of the protagonist gave my heart a chase as I was highly engaged in their actions.
The plot and the writing style capture the readers’ attention from the beginning. All the characters were well-explored, and the protagonist gains surprising depth as we delve deeper into the story. This slow understanding and adaptation, in reality, made this book feel fresh in a saturated genre. Even while explaining the background story of the characters, the descriptions were never stretched or boring.
Burning Without Knowing has an intriguing mystery at its core and compelling characters that take readers headlong through a suspenseful crime fiction story. Readers will experience fast-paced action and get to know strong female leads in this gripping mystery thriller.
