Review:
"Onyx" Tales of a Blackened Soul by Deidra D. S. Green
My Rationalization:
Well, all that is left to say is that this 'Tales of a Blackened Soul' consisted of a total of four stories that will definitely keep your attention all the way till the end. Please remember that this story will jump from the past to the present [back & forth]. The way I present this review many questions will be asked but to get the answers you will have to pick up this read "Onyx."
This last story was about Onyx who just happened to be another spirited sister with the gift of being a time traveler [past & future]. When Mama Bah gets all four of these sisters together...as she calls them her daughters...London [Midnight-visions], Sable [Telekinesis], Ebony [healing], and Onyx [time traveler] I will say will the world be ready for them? You will see from the stories that they were truly 'some badass beautiful black women who were powerful.'
As the story starts out it seems like their will be someone else named Damien who used the cat-o-nine-tails to be able to function. Now, how will that turn out for him in the story as he has been sent looking for Sister Mina?
As the story continues on this author brings in another character Leyssa Gaelle who was running away from her master. Now, what was that all about? How will Mama Bah get help for Leyssa who was a lost daughter that needed to be rescued? What will happen when she calls for the sisters [daughters] to help?
The story continues on with Lance Billups [investigator] from Atlanta, Ga. wanting to help Jeremiah in the situation he was in. Now how will that turn out? Also, how will the situation with Diamond Washington turn out? This had happened in an earlier series by the hands of ... Now that the Tunstall's were all in jail how will this turn out for them?
Now we see that Leyssa is in New Orleans having been saved by Mama Bah's spiritual daughters, what is next for her? Why was Leyssa still sad about her family she has left behind? Again when Mama Bah calls on her daughters and they come. Will they be able to help Leyssa in the saving of her family & friends from that horrible master?
As the story picks up we find Sister Mina calling on London [Midnight] for help. Will London be able to get to Sister Mina in time?
Moving on we find the four sisters are together and knowing they had a task to do. Will they be able to fulfill their jobs with there dealings with three boys, two police officers and oh yes that Marlon Sr?
Back on Birch Street in New Orleans with Mama Bah the daughters are back and realizing that Leyssa needed help for her family from the Jefferson plantation some 400 years ago, so what will come of this? Now, think of this plantation the land that was now where Mama Bah owned. Anyway, as the story continues Mama will have a problem with a certain person named Maza. Now, how will that all turn out?
The daughters will now want to help Leyssa who was free but still bound to the plantation where her family was located and this will be quite a scene to read about as the story goes back in the past. As you continue to read one will see how well it will all come together in the end and will there be justice served? I know the answer to that but you will just have to read it for yourself to find out.
I know I have said a lot about this story and asked a lot of questions that you the reader will only get the answers from the read that this author provides so well in the story. All of the questions will be answered and so much much but to get it all from these daughters you will need to pick up the entire series of the 'Tales of a Blackened Soul' to get the true message that is delivered so very well by this author.
Here is the whole series of Tales of a Blackened Soul:

Please read them in order and you will not miss a thing that happened in each one of the stories. Yes, I indeed enjoyed them all.
