I realized that I was losing track of all the reviews of Wife of the Gods. For media, and those who are just curious,here’s a list of all available reviews of the novel. There are more, and I’ll add to the list as fast as I can. You can also get hold of a lot of reviews with a search engine by typing “wife of the gods” (with the quotes).

READER COMMENTS
I finished the book…AWESOME…simply amazing. I cannot wait for the next one…I’ve never read [novels in general] in the middle of the day, and I’ve never read a book in 2 days – did [both of those things] with Wife of the Gods.

…I have 2 say…it was not only magical and energetic and enchanting…it was a fascinating glance at life in a mystical place…it compelled me 2 want to finish reading…your characters are charming and human…which I find both endearing and important in a novel…you paint a rosy picture of Ghana, yet you don’t hesitate to talk about some of the seedy aspects…Det dawson is the diamond in the rough and he is very lovable…I thoroughly enjoyed reading your novel and can say honestly that I can not wait to continue reading about the adventures of one, Mr. Dawson.. In my humble opinion, this was a slam dunk…2 thumbs up…
