Sooner rather than later, he wanted a baby. He wasn't just angling for more leg room, either. Then a new Lexus LX 570 that could easily seat eight. First, he convinced her they should buy the new town house in the Bronzeville neighborhood on Chicago's South Side. ![]() The upcoming presidential election stirred an unusual optimism in her husband, Xavier, and he fancied himself having everything new. And if the proof weren't in her pedigree, it manifested in her marriage to a PepsiCo marketing executive.

Perhaps big fans of book one will enjoy reading about Eli's meals and clothing, where his family is living, birthday decorations for one of his younger siblings, and when they pass a stomach bug around, but I kept waiting for either some suspense to build the narrative into a thriller with some momentum or for a character-driven book to make me give a damn about the people in the story. It's been longer than many authors take on sequels, and the end product read as rather forced, meandering, and often downright boring. Ultimately, I'm not sure what she was going for. I checked out a copy to have with me while reading this one, but after skimming a few summaries and reviews-and really, I think I might have read the first 50 pages or so of the first book 2-3 years ago, but didn't care to finish-I was fine to plunge ahead and see what the author was trying to do here. Full disclosure: I didn't read, but it sounds like a nice quick pick for readers that don't ask a lot of pesky questions. ![]() ![]() No part of this publication may be reproduced, translated, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without prior written permission from the publisher. © Copyright 2004 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands All rights reserved.
