BRAVA! BRAVA! BRAVA! I thought I was going to perish in the wasteland of a pointless amalgam of words, when MY GIRL Madhuri Pavmani's book #3 in the Keeper Series - Death was released.
Before I get too deep into Dutch and Juma, I need to start by telling you that if you've never heard of Madhuri or read any of her work, then as a bibliophile you have yet to begun to live. Have you ever got to the place where everything you read is just so so and you're desperately wanting to read something moves you in such a visceral way that you can feel it crawling beneath your skin? When I get to that place Madhuri is one of my go to writers that I know will never fail me.
Madhuri's writes from the gut as well as the heart. She get's down and dirty with her characters. **WARNING - If you have delicate sensibilities then Pavamani's writing is not for you...but if you delicate sensibilities want to take a backseat to the gritty, sensual you that you keep locked up, keep reading...you'll thank me!
I need to reign in my love fest and get to the review! I have been a willing and eager participant in the journey of Juma and Dutch since book #1 in the series Dutch. Then came book #2 Juma, and now FINALLY book #3 Death. In the event you haven't read Dutch or Juma, I don't want to give away too many of the juicy details, so I'm just going to leave you with this excerpt.
"I am Death. I run this show. I have many at my command, people love and fear me in equal measure.
But I am almost out of time.
Juma Landry and Dutch Mathew have a love that is strong and sharp, wild and soothing. They would go to the ends of the earth—and beyond—to save each other from the hell of this world. To put a smile on each others’ face day after day. But danger is coming, dark forces that will push Juma to her capacity, evil that will rip away her lives.
One.
By.
One.
I know Dutch can’t bear to lose this woman—the darkness that always lives inside him will swallow him whole. But I’ve got plans for Juma. She’s always been my favorite, my sweet, my beautiful, my light. And now, I need her more than ever, one last time…" - Madhuri Pavamani
The only thing that I can tell you is that from page one, and I do mean PAGE 1! You will be drawn into the dark, gritty, violent, and sexy world that Madhuri has created for her characters. There is no stone that is left unturned. Death is a stunning conclusion to the Keeper Series.
I highly suggest that you start with book one and move through the series, BUT, in the event that you want to start with Death, please go to the back of the book (at least on the e-version) and there is a glossary of terms that should help pull this world together for you.
Madhuri - What can I say! My Gurl! You are word magic personified!
Much Love,
Pandora`

Dutch: Keeper Series Book One By Madhurie Blaylock - Alchemy of Words At It's Finest
Let me start by reminding you that I don't believe in spoilers. So this won't be a play by play of the the book. With that being said, Dutch: The Keeper Series Book One is the fourth book by Madhuri Blaylock. Dark, gritty, carnal, and passionate.
From the very first page, Blaylock paints with her words on the blank canvass of your mind taking you on a journey with Dutch Mathew and Juma Landry. First page to the last you will be completely consumed by Dutch, Juma, The Gate, Keepers, and Poochas. Leaving no stone unturned, Blaylock carefully crafts a a world that will draw you in and hold you captive.
Truth be told when I first started reading Dutch, I thought I was simply going to be reading another paranormal romance. I couldn't have been more wrong. The romantic part of the relationship between Dutch and Juma is a catalyst for the characters, but they are not defined by or bound by that alone. If you're an avid romance reader you will be drawn to the romance piece, but you will quickly find yourself digging into the suspense aspect of the story as well.
Dutch and Juma are both emotionally scarred by events of their individual pasts, and from the day to day gritty grind of the life that they live. What I found fascinating was that its through their damage that they are brought together.
There is ABSOLUTELY nothing formulaic about Dutch. I thought that I would be able to predict the path that the characters were going to take, but I was wrong Blaylocks writing is not for the faint of heart. But I promise you that when you finish, you'll want to start all over again.
