"The Vow Series" by Cornelia Smith

Starting with The Vow: Series 1

"The Vow: Until Death do Us Part" by Cornelia Smith

My Rationalization:

I found this story quite impressive in its intriguing and mystery of what a person will do when life is not going accord to their plan. I wasn't sure that this wife [Alisa Hopkins] snapped or just was crazy; however, she was one scorned person that was determined to get her revenge after all was said and done because her husband didn't honor his vows. By the end, will this sociopath be able to get out of this situation, especially when a lawyer like Deputy D. S. Patricia Patterson, where it seems like everyone is against her, is not willing to give up with taking Alisa down for what Alisa had done? Will Patricia be able to figure out what and how Alisa had gotten away with this murder? To get all of the questions answered, you will have to pick up this good read to see how well this author brings it all out and will still leave one wanting to know more as we see at the end that the story to be continued in 'The Promise.'

'The Promise' Series 2

My Speculation:

Well, as this story continues, we find that Alisa Hopkins had made 'The Promise' to go after Deputy D.A. Patricia Patterson, and she does just that. I will say that Aisa was one conniving person that one could ever meet. All of the characters from this whole story were well-defined in their deliverance to this story. From all of the characters from Patricia, Jason Alisa, Robin, Jamellah, Achiton, Chelsey, Dawson, Monroe, Nichole, Rebecca, to a few others, gives us one good read of "The Promise." Now, as we go into the next series 'The Defense,' hopefully, we will see how 'The Vow Series' will all come together definitely featuring Patricia Patterson and oh yes, Ms. Alisa Hopkins.

'The Defense' Series 3

My Speculation:

OK, now we continue in the 3rd series to "The Defense' we find Deputy D.A. Patricia Patterson is arrested. Oh yes, is Alisa Hopkins causing trouble for Patricia? This series will have many twists and turns as we will see that signs left saying 'You'll regret not letting me go' and I Promise.' But who leaves this for Patricia? We will see how a step-brother Russel enters into the picture, and things don't seem quite right to me. I wasn't sure if he was a likable person, and by the end, well, all I will say is that you will be able to make that determination for yourself.

As the story goes, in the end, all will come out, but I will say I didn't understand the forgiveness that Patricia had for two particular people. I also felt neither did her friend Jamellah and mother-in-law agree with her, but OK, if this will help her heal, so be it. I am not sure I believe we need any more to this series. I am satisfied the three sets are enough that tells the story about Alisa Hopkins as well as Patrica Patterson. I think we have learned as much as we need to know about Alisa Hopkins. Did she get away with murder? Well, that is where I will say you will have to pick up this entire series and see for yourself how this author will bring it out to us. One thing that is for sure, this was a 'cat-mouse thriller' that will keep you turning the pages to the very end.
