“WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE: DESTINY OR LOVE?” Rating: 5 coffee mugs
When Mallory returns home to join the family business, he has no idea what that
responsibility demands. For him to take over his rightful place he would need to take on the
title of Death, the fourth horseman of the apocalypse, unleashing a power so great that not
even he could fathom! To complicate things, his ex-love comes back harboring a secret that
threatens to destroy everyone.
T.L. James new release is an undiscovered gem. This book captures the realism of choices
and consequences through its realistic characters and its taut storyline. The author does an
awesome job of transporting the reader into this wonderful story while not bogging it down
with unnecessary adjectives.
Great job! I can’t wait for the next installment!

They need him to complete the circle and make the family stronger.He reluctantly agrees, which throws him back into the family fighting with some brothers, bonding with others, and still afraid of his father. The closest person to him, that helps him feel invincible, is his half brother, Matthew. He had actually befriended Matthew while they were in school Oxford, not knowing they were related. They built a relationship that made old feelings surface when they are reunited again after many years.
Family secrets are uncovered as Mallory is forced to remember his life before Oxford, the life he worked hard to forget. He slowly learns his life and the help needed in the family business really isn’t for the business they have structured for the outside world to see. They have deeper things going on in their family and Mallory is needed to complete what their family has done for decades.
In Search of the Lost if a wonderful read. The writing is so vivid, I could actually see the scenes described. If you’re interested in stories about good and evil, heaven and hell, this is a must read. I’m anxiously looking forward to the next book to come out to see how the story unfolds from where it left off. Great job to the author for starting with an explosive introduction to the trilogy!Four 1/2 stars reviewed by Leila of Real Divas of Literature www.myspace.com/real_divas2007
