Title: Delicious Foods

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: James Hannaham

Narrator: James Hannaham

Format: Unabridged

Publisher's Summary:

Held captive by her employers--and by her own demons--on a mysterious farm, a widow struggles to reunite with her young son in this uniquely American story of freedom, perseverance, and survival.

Darlene, once an exemplary wife and a loving mother to her young son, Eddie, finds herself devastated by the unforeseen death of her husband. Unable to cope with her grief, she turns to drugs and quickly forms an addiction. One day she disappears without a trace.

Unbeknownst to 11-year-old Eddie, now left behind and in a panic-stricken search for her, Darlene has been lured away with false promises of a good job and a rosy life. A shady company named Delicious Foods shuttles her to a remote farm, where she is held captive, performing hard labor in the fields to pay off the supposed debt for her food, lodging, and the constant stream of drugs the farm provides to her and the other unfortunates imprisoned there.

In Delicious Foods James Hannaham tells the gripping story of three unforgettable characters: a mother, her son, and the drug that threatens to destroy them. Through Darlene's haunted struggle to reunite with Eddie, through the efforts of both to triumph over those who would enslave them, and through the irreverent and mischievous voice of the drug that narrates Darlene's travails, Hannaham's daring and shape-shifting prose infuses this harrowing experience with grace and humor.

The desperate circumstances that test the unshakeable bond between this mother and son unfold into myth, and Hannaham's treatment of their ordeal spills over with compassion. Along the way we experience a tale at once contemporary and historical that wrestles with timeless questions of love and freedom, forgiveness and redemption, tenacity and the will to survive.

Critic Reviews:

"James Hannaham's new novel is a tour de force. Gripping, haunting, and deeply moving, it beguiles the reader with the urgent immediacy of its characters' lives, while also reverberating with universal themes of freedom and enslavement, love and survival." (Jennifer Egan, Pulitzer Prize winner for A Visit From the Goon Squad)

"Author James Hannaham--who is clearly comfortable behind the mic--skillfully narrates a story of human exploitation, addiction, and grief." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Amazing! I love these characters and their story.

I love this book so much. I was initially not engaged with the narrator, it's often a mistake when the author narrates their own work; but, as the story progressed I fell in love with these characters and the author's portrayal became more natural and I understood what he was going for. Tuck and Sirius are so complex and I rooted for both of them. Much of the story is very hard and graphic, yet it didn't feel gratuitous or unrealistic for the situations.

I love this book.

Authors Should not Narrate

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

OK, the story is great and I probably should have read Delicious Foods and not listened to it. Why? As I said in the headline, authors should not narrate their books... they are writers, not performers. The author, who does indeed narrate the book, has the annoying habit of snorting out some words and phrases. It's subtle, but there nonetheless. Kind of like that irksome drip that catches your attention, or that irritating sound coming from under the dashboard...

Genres: Fiction, African-American

Publisher's Summary:

National best-selling authors Kiki Swinson and De'nesha Diamond light it up with two devious tales of players, hustles - and running out of time...

"Special Delivery" Kiki Swinson: Mail carrier Gabriella Vasquez is making stacks of sweet paper from the innocent-looking packages she delivers on her route. And that much cocaine can buy a lot of the sweet life - and even more of her sexy partner Eduardo's undivided attention. But when the Feds make her an offer she can't refuse, can she play Eduardo and his ruthless kingpin boss - and survive?

"Gun Play" De'Nesha Diamond: The only thing Julian Smith can remember is a beautiful woman's anguished face. Still, for a man with no memory, he suddenly has a lot of enemies. Now he'll need all the lethal skills he didn't know he had to elude his pursuers and uncover the truth. But deep in the heart of the Caribbean underworld lies the one danger he'll never see coming in his merciless quest to get his life back...

Critic Reviews:

"Kiki captures the heat of the streets." (Wahida Clark)

"Diamond is dead-on with authentic slang... The raw prose will burn itself in readers' minds, leaving them screaming for the next installment." (Library Journal on Street Divas)

Members Reviews:

Full of suspense

This duo's storytelling tactics are simply amaing. My favorite story was definately the first story. Kiki Swinson always finds a way to keep you wanting to know more. I surely didn't expect what happened to happen. I felt as if I was watching a suspense film and knew what to expect and at the end I had no idea, good job Kiki. The 2nd book was also captivating and full of action and suspense. I did get a little lost at one point in the story, but not to the point where it threw me off what was happening in the book. I would suggest these authors work as wonderful masterpieces to add to my street lit collection.

Wow Ladies...........Good Job

If you could sum up Fistful of Benjamins in three words, what would they be?

If I could sum this book up in three words, I would probably say I want more.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Fistful of Benjamins?

I loved the fact that Gabriella was spared in the first book by KiKi Swinson, for a minute there I thought she was a goner. The second book by Denesha Diamond, I don't know what to say, Wow what a twist. At first I was like okay, get your memory back already, but the end my mouth was hanging wide open, like are you serious, did this just happen. OMG is all I can say.

What does Krystal King bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Well I like Krystal King, but I think she should stick to the bad girl parts. This book was not for her. The ladies in this book need a more softer voice and at times I couldn't tell the guys voices from the women. I think this book needed multiple readers. All in all, I enjoyed both books.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The first book I was like, someone please help her, poor Gabriella, she just got caught up in the game of men. The second book I didn't know whether to feel sorry for the guy or wonder was he really the bad guy, until the end.

Any additional comments?

Kiki Swinson thanks for the perfect ending. I really applaud you for that.

Publisher's Summary:

Number-one national best-selling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley gets to the heart of loss, love, and betrayal in her latest novel that is sure to delight her legions of fans. Felise is not the kind of woman to cheat on her husband - especially with her best friend's man. But after one perfect storm of a night, it happened - and she can hardly believe it herself. To top it off, when she woke up in the morning, she found that the man to whom she guiltily made passionate love died of a heart attack overnight. Felise, who is a nurse and a good citizen at that, leaves the hotel room without reporting his death.

When her best friend, Paula, finds out about her husbands sudden death a day later, Felise is overcome with guilt and grief. She must be there for her friend and her family, but when her husband repeatedly tries to apologize for his absentminded behavior and Paula starts investigating who Stephen was with the night he died, Felise finds it hard to hold herself together. Should she come clean and tell everyone what she did? Or should she just let it go and move past the mistake on her own?

Members Reviews:

Excellent

Wow! I knew Ms. Billingsley was a good writer and storyteller, but she outdid herself with this one. I didn't want the book to end! The storyline is unpredictable, the characters are well-developed and relatable, and I felt like I was right there with the characters. The narration was excellent also. I enjoyed every minute of the audiobook.

Page Turner

This book was wonderful a true page turner. I really enjoyed themes throughout the story such as love, relationship, marriage, family, loyalty, dishonesty & regrets.

Ain't no drama like girl friend drama

I love the story line. It started off in high gear and never slowed down. The characters were so well done I felt as if I knew them personally. The duel narrators brought Felice ,Paula and the rest of crew too life. I hated to hear it end. This is one book you won't put down it will keep you laughing ,crying and cursing out each character until the end the beg for more!!

Now What Now?!?!

Omg!!!!! We are all faced with temptation and chances that seem so right but we know they are dead wrong! To act on it or not to act is definitely question number one. Question number two is-- do I own it or try to hide it? Hmmm.

ReShonda Tate Billingsley introduces us to Felise and Greg, Paula and Steven. We take a look into there lives as each couples experiences turmoil that they were not prepared to face. This book was great! As I continued to read, I was intrigued and by the time I finished I was like NOW WHAT NOW?!?! Great job!

the 8hr and 19 min...was not the whole book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of What's Done in the Dark?

When the book just cut off in mid sentance in Chapter 56. Whick is not the end off the book. I do not know how it ends. I need my credit back.

Which scene was your favorite?

not sure. I do not know how it ends. The wasy not the who book . I need my free credit back.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Any additional comments?

Loved it, when Joseph sees Crystal & Mary realizing she's his daughter at airport. Excellent

Loved it!

I love Rochelle Alers books! They are always a great read. Can't get enough of the Cole's or the Eaton's.

Great story, not so good narrator

The story is great. I love Rochelle Alers and love the Eaton's. I am not so impressed with the narrator though. His voice is annoying and he is horrible with imitating anyone with an accent. I would purchase this book again because of the author and the story. I can't wait to see what's next with the Eaton clan.

I loved how she brought the Coles and eatons together(if you are a true alters fan you would know who they are) it was a great wrap up.

When he found out about the secret.

Have you listened to any of Corey Allens other performances before? How does this one compare?

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 171 votes

Genres: Fiction, African-American

Publisher's Summary:

It's 1876 and Dr. Viveca Lancaster is frustrated by the limits placed upon female physicians of color. When she is offered the chance to set up a practice in the small all-black community of Grayson Grove, Michigan, she leaves her California home and heads east. The very determined Viveca knows all about fighting for her rights. But she may need more than determination to face down the distractingly handsome Nate Grayson, the Grove's bull-headed mayor.

Nate Grayson goes to the train station expecting Dr. V. Lancaster to be a man. But when the lovely, dark-skinned Viveca introduces herself, he is at first speechless, then orders her back on the train and out of his town! It's 1876 and women aren't supposed to be doctors, men are. However, Nate isn't prepared for this extraordinary beauty's stubbornness and fire, nor for the vivid way she heals - then steals - his heart. Contains mature themes.

Members Reviews:

Great Story, Not the best narrator :(

Vivid is one of my favorite books of all time. So maybe it's due to the fact that I've read the book several times and I have an idea of how I think it should be read, or perhaps it's because I listen to books all the time...but this reader was not the best. She has a great voice but she's "reading the book" and not performing if that makes any sense. Her extra breaths where a breath doesn't fit is just wearing me OUT! I love Beverly Jenkins and Im not sad that I bought the book. Please give it a try and excuse my frustration. #teambeverlyjenkins...

Yay Vivids on audible"

I have read this book many times. Strong independent brilliant woman bound to follow her dream and practice medicine during this time. Loved the story, enjoyed watching Nate fall in love with Vivica. History love and action all bound together. Great listen. Keep adding Beverly Jenkins books to a Audible and I'll keep listening. :). Would love to hear Thomas Penny voice again. Robin Eller is okay but the male voices are so similar to the female voices I sometimes have to figure out who's talking. Narration could be better. Sorry. Absolutely love Beverly Jenkins historical romances. Own them all would love to be able to listen to them all as well.

Great Story

Beverly Jenkins books are the greatest except the narrator with this book was plain didn't bring out any character voices made it sound boring and slow. Please have more readings by Thomas Penny and Kim Stauton.

Historicals Are Enjoyable

Would you listen to Vivid again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to Vivid again because I am a fan of Beverly Jenkins' African American Historical novels. Strong women and even stronger men who lived during very perilous times for Blacks , and made a difference in their own way for the Race is the central theme of her novels. The historical facts interwoven with the romantic fiction is the reason I read this genre. I learn and I enjoy the story at the same time.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Vivid?

Nate & Vivid's Romantic episodes.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The performance was ok. However my personal preference would have called for 2 narrators, one male and one female.

Members Reviews:

Really KiKi,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Not without telling them that's it's most likely going to be a second part. The ending is awful, it's like everything happened, then the narrator said,,The End,,,,,Wow...Cliffhanger

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

It was enjoyable, maybe make it more realistic. I don't know, the hotel scene was all wacked out. Like Leon, did you really just do that, r u serious?

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I did enjoy the different narrations. I like to hear a story, rather than read it. I also like when the audio books have the different voices for each character.

Selling your soul for entertainment and money

I simply love the way that KiKi Swinson can put a story together. This book was a wonderful example of story telling and it captured my attention. Today's audience is so into the drama of things that happen on television, we never realize what happens during the taping of shows like Real Houswives, Basketball Wives and television shows like wife swap can have a major impact on the characters real lives. When we watch these shows we see what kind of people these are, you can only play a role for so long and after enough time goes by true character gets revealed. The grass isn't always greener or maybe it is with some folks. I always ask myself is the money worth me opening up my life to world. This book was a great of example of how money can ruin what you have to live for. In this book I found myself loving and hating the characters. My favorite thus far was was Trice and it's not just because I am a Trice myself but because the title of the book says it all "Wife Extraordinaire" and that is exactly what she is. The narrators did an excellent job bringing life and action to their words. This book actually helped open my mind to what would I do if I were in each of the characters shoes. I even asked my fiancee those "what if" questions to see if he would do the same thing that Troy did throughout the story. This is a great read and 2 thumbs up to Miss Kiki for this book right here.

Absolute garbage

This book was awful! I've read most of this author's books but this is truly beneath her.

Amazing it's a great book

This book was good. I wish at the end there was a little more but this is a must read.

Not for me

This book wasn't very good. A little boring and prolonged. . I read the read the reviews and they are very misleading.

awesome

Spoiler Alert

Wow just wow I didn't even see half the stuff coming in this book. I like ang a lot of people got what they deserved. And Born was behind everything like dang. Smh. That dude something else I tell you. Good book though glad Baby boy didnt die though. And Briggen got what he deserved though because of how he was doing and what he did even though I liked him.

bring back Briggan

this was a true love story. I want Shan and Briggan together to raise their children, but it works when the man and the woman, go through what the other is told what their roll in life is suppose to be. Briggan was a real man, a real G, although he should have let a female beat her add and not him. I loved the story, but I want Briggan to be top dog

Total surprise

i did not see that at all..what happen to fam loyalty...camt believe Janay didnt see that especially after her dads funeral...

left it hanging

some of the characters seemed stuck and then rushed. book was too short compared to the rest.

no no no

I was disappointed book was too ratchet for my taste and I was disappointed that Shan never gets her payback. All the bad guys won in the end. I didn't like this and it was all about drugs typical.
