FIVE STARS FOR STRAYS OF RIO
From the
first page the tension begins to wind up. The gritty, gutsy heroine Lisa Kerry
has a dark past of her own. Now she offers a better future to a group of kids
making their way through life on the streets of Rio. She isn’t to know the
offer draws each of the group into the sights of a deadly adversary.
Strays of
Rio explores the line between right and wrong, with realistic emotions,
experiences, drama. Without dwelling on the tragedy of life on the streets, Strays of Rio involves
the reader in an uplifting look at how a simple act of charity can improve life.
Living with choices though, takes determination. Caught in a war between drug
lords and corrupt police, Lisa and her courageous collection of strays find
survival calls for desperate measures.
Strays of
Rio is tightly written. Edith Parzefall takes us to Rio, where we become
immersed in the beauty and the danger of everyday life. The characters each
bring to the intriguing plot their own problems, backgrounds and goals. Once
the scene is set, Parzefall’s novel accelerates to an edge of the seat ride.
My advice
is to grab a copy now, set it aside until you have a few hours because once you enter the streets
where Strays of Rio takes place, you are not going to be able to put this
one down. Don’t expect to emerge unscathed, Strays of Rio will leave you
thinking. The sign of a great story.
To be
released on the International Day of Peace, it is fitting that Strays of Rio
explores the characters’ desperate attempts to provide themselves with a
peaceful future.
Strays of
Rio is set in a world we know exists but would rather forget as we go about our
safe and secure lives. Edith Parzefall delivers a well researched story that is
guaranteed to satisfy and impress.
I was given a pre release copy for review. How lucky am I? :)
