Operation: Middle of the Garden #2
Of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
Operation: Middle of the Garden is a top secret government and military operation running under the nose of the American public in Washington, D. C. Eight years ago, troops in Afghanistan stumbled upon the remains of what looked to be the Garden of Eden. The skeletal remains of two trees peeked through centuries-worth of sand and debris. The soldiers who discovered the trees were coerced into being test subjects for the trees’ fruit. The fruit from the supposed Tree of Eternal Life turned the men immortal. Now, the Operation seeks to test the fruit from the second tree: the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Jericho Edwards was the first test subject at the inception of Operation: Middle of the Garden. When he viewed his nurse Emily Kent for the first time, a mysterious Voice whispered, “The One,” to him. Jericho and Emily immediately became soul mates, a phenomenon caused by the fruit that became known as Impulse pairing, but Emily died a short while later due to a complicated pregnancy. Jericho has never been the same. He remains in the compound of the Operation because he has no desire to live, yet no other option but to live. He agrees to test the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil so he is of some use to the compound.
Dahlia Gutierrez is a convicted criminal. When faced with prison or joining Operation: Middle of the Garden, Dahlia immediately chooses to become a test subject for both trees. She has a secret, and she needs the kind of potential freedom to flee at the drop of a hat that prison would impede. One thing’s for sure: she’s learned a lot from her past, and she’s going to do whatever it takes to make sure she never makes those mistakes again. The biggest lesson she’s learned? That she can only depend on herself.

Another hit for author Micah Persell! I loved this sequel as much as the first. Maybe even more. Jericho and Dahlia are complex, fascinating characters, both with dark pasts and secrets. Their romance is both sweet and hot, but it doesn't come easily. I wondered how on earth Dahlia could be redeemed, but I ended up with a lot of respect for her character. (I won't spoil the surprise, you'll have to find out why for yourself.) I love the paranormal world in this series - there's nothing else like it. You'll love Persell's rich, vivid writing style. (Read her bio. She's dedicated her life to language arts, so it's no wonder she's a pro.) Escape into a world of adventure and romance - don't miss Of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. I couldn't put it down.

This is a long title for an exceptional book. Micah Persell builds on the world she created in Of Eternal Life by presenting the story of the villain in the first book, Dahlia, and star-crosses her with a wonderfully damaged hero, Jericho. Dahlia is being held prisoner for her part in the atrocities that happened in Of Eternal Life until she receives a message that demands immediate action. She breaks free from jail and goes on the run. Jericho is sent to follow her and bring her back. Just prior to breaking free, however, Dahlia and Jericho cross paths and lock eyes. That was all it took for the two to be Impulse-paired with one another, a peculiar phenomenon that mates two people instantly for life. But Dahlia’s evil and Jericho’s good, so nothing can ever happen between them.
Even with its paranormal twist, this is essentially a tried and true story of a woman fighting, against all odds, to learn how to depend on herself and how to make certain her past will not be repeated. This reader spent a couple long nights racing to the end of the book, simply because when a woman is backed into this kind of a corner, you don’t want to leave her alone.

I haven't read the book 1 yet but I love the story. Its different and unpredictable which I like.
The heroine is different. She's independent and strong. Yet, she have her weakness and insecurities. She's realistic women that need to be strong in order to protect herself and her loved ones.
Jericho on the other hand is a man of his word. Its like at first he was hypnotized, then he came to his sense, and then he fell in love.
Micah, was able to show how the characters grow. At the same time twist it into a new story that is different.
I haven't read book 1 so I'm not sure how evil is Dahlia so I can't say she redeem herself. All I know was it was written well.
It's a paranormal book but Micah was available to apply the realistic characters that have strength and weakness. A good combination of good and evil. In reality, it's the nature of the human to have good and bad traits. Or act good or evil. Balance.
I love the ending. It was different and unusual. It was nice to read when Jericho tries to make Dahlia's life more easy. Its sweet and I love it. A different way of courting I guess.

March 14, 2013In her latest novel, Of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, Micah Persell’s paranormal series gets even stronger.
Synopsis [written by author]:
Operation: Middle of the Garden is a top-secret government and military operation running under the nose of the American public in Washington, D. C. Eight years ago, troops in Afghanistan stumbled upon the remains of what looked to be the Garden of Eden. The skeletal remains of two trees peeked through centuries-worth of sand and debris.

Now, the Operation seeks to test the fruit from the second tree: the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Jericho Edwards was the first test subject at the inception of Operation: Middle of the Garden. When he viewed his nurse Emily Kent for the first time, a mysterious Voice whispered, “The One,” to him. Jericho and Emily immediately became soul mates, a phenomenon caused by the fruit that became known as Impulse pairing, but Emily died a short while later due to a complicated pregnancy. Jericho has never been the same. He remains in the compound of the Operation because he has no desire to live, yet no other option but to live. He agrees to test the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil so he is of some use to the compound.
Dahlia Gutierrez is a convicted criminal. When faced with prison or joining Operation: Middle of the Garden, Dahlia immediately chooses to become a test subject for both trees. She has a secret, and she needs the kind of potential freedom to flee at the drop of a hat that prison would impede. One thing’s for sure: she’s learned a lot from her past, and she’s going to do whatever it takes to make sure she never makes those mistakes again. The biggest lesson she’s learned? That she can only depend on herself.
The Benefits of reading Of the Knowledge of Good and Evil:
The heroine: Dahlia is unique and memorable. I admit, though, I loved the heroine gradually. I was curious how Persell was going to work Dahlia into the plot. In book one, the promise was there that she would return–as a likely menace, not as a heroine. I was surprised that Persell would undertake something so ambitious and with such a risk of failure. A murderess? A psycho? Yet, with Persell’s deft hand, we are taught that not everything is as it seems, that evil and good are not quite as simple as we might like, and that sometimes quiet and reserved innocence isn’t the only thing a good woman can offer.
The hero: Jericho is fun to love and fun to read about–though I didn’t love him right away. Sorry, ladies, I have a natural reserve for all bulky, hyper-muscled alphas. So, when I first met giant, powerful, moody Jericho, I wasn’t inclined to love him at first sight. But, as usual, Persell weaved her magic. Jericho was sweet, sacrificial, thoughtful, loyal and much more than his muscles seemed to make him. He was more of a Beta hero, too; though he had all of the qualities a great alpha does (a desire to protect and to provide with the means to do so), he had none of the problems (aggression to most people and to the heroine, etc.). He was a good guy, basically, and Persell handled his past tragedies with a skill that left me satisfied. I especially liked his emotionality in sex scenes.
The sex scenes: The passionate scenes are intimate and nearly visible–alive as they are with details. They are full of passion–not compulsory penetration. Too often romance writers run from sex in their books or roll around in it. I don’t want to have boot scenes, where there is a kiss and then it’s morning. I also don’t want to read the vague, “he touched her there” scenes where you have no idea what’s happening. On the other hand, I also don’t want to hear how he kissed her “pussy lips” or “impaled her with his engorged shaft.” There are so many ways to get sex wrong in these books. Persell gets it right. Her intimate scenes are sexy and full of sensory details. As a writer myself, I know I’ll be returning to this book to see how to get it right.
The theme building: I mentioned this in my review of her previous novel. Ms. Persell has a master’s in literature and it shows. Her writing’s not elitist or pedantic in any way, but she understands how to build a text. The way she uses words like God, hell, and heaven keep you aware of the larger scope of her fiction, even as she is helping you forget that and focus on the passion between the main couple. Solid craft all the way through.

Title: The Knowledge of Good and Evil
Author: Micah Persell
Review Rating: Four Stars
Reviewer: Linda Hays-Gibbs
Recently the Garden of Eden is discovered and beside it the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The people that discovered it are asked to eat the fruit of the trees.
Jericho is an immortal because he ate of the fruit of The Tree of Life and Knowledge of Good and evil. He can tell by touch if someone is good or evil and he can't be killed.
He lives with the others like himself in a lab where he is experimented on. His friend and boss is Erin and he sends Jericho after a killer.
Dahlia is the killer and an immortal too. She escapes and wrecks everything to get out. Jericho follows to bring her back but in the process he is told by an anonymous voice that "She is the one." His other mate died years ago and he thought he would be alone forever since he couldn't die.
Now his life has new meaning but when he touches Dahlia he is told she is evil. He is devastated but continues on his mission to bring his new mate back to the compound and her jail.
She out maneuvers him at every turn and the pain of not acknowledging their attraction weighs heavy on both of them. He is about to go crazy with wanting her when he discovers her secret. He is amazed.
I will not give you all the spoilers but tell you Dahlia has a good reason for running.
I give this action packed sexually charged story a definite thumbs up and rate it with Four Stars. I would have given it Five, but it just ended too abruptly. I wanted more and I believe there is more. The author has a series going but make every story end without being so cliff dropping. I was left gasping for breath and searching for more pages.
It's a great story though, and I'm glad I took the read. I can't wait to hear more.

“Of The Knowledge of Good and Evil” is the second book in the Operation: Middle of The Garden series, and was equally as exciting as the first. Micah Persell takes an unlikeable, unredeemable character and transforms her into a heroine. Dahlia, the antagonist from book one, is imprisoned and participating in the research being done on the effects of eating fruit from the garden of Eden. This makes her not only immortal, but she can tell if some one is good or evil just by touching them. When she escapes the facility and accidently becomes sexually and emotionally tied with Jerico ,; the excitement begins. Because Jerico has eaten the fruit as well and has the same abilities as Dahlia, he can’t let anyone else go after her. Jerico must bring Dahlia back to the research facility and fight the supernatural need he has to please her all at the same time. His grief over his lost former love, has kept him from caring about anything or anyone. So, when he finds himself inexplicably bound to a woman who registers as ‘evil’ when he touches her, Jerico is torn between love and duty.When he learns her secrets and discovers she is notthe the pure evil he was led to believe, he must find a way to love Dahlia and then leave her to prove it.
I loved Jerico’s character. He was the consummate hero; gorgeous, kind, tender hearted and torn between two kinds of love. The premise for this story is interesting and holds your attention as you learn about ‘match pairing’ and the power of love. The unanswered questions at the end of the book will leave you wanting Persell to write another.
I was provided an ARC as a professional courtesy. I received no compensation, monetary or otherwise for this review.

Fantastic Sequel. Recommended Read.
I loved the first book in this series, so I knew I had to read the second one! The premise is so fresh and original, and the passion sizzles off the pages. When I read in the blurb that tough Latina Dahlia was the heroine of this book, I became even more intrigued because Dahlia wasn’t exactly the nicest person in OF ETERNAL LIFE! I wanted to see her redeem herself and read about her secrets. I wanted to read how hunky Jericho could ignite her passions while dealing with his own tortured past and the conflicts with his duty to bring Dahlia to justice for breaking out of prison. From page one, I worried how this diverse couple could make it to a happily ever after. Dahlia and Jericho face insurmountable challenges and must battle love over duty, but nothing disappoints in OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.
The story starts off with a jaw dropping bang. It’s adventurous and smoldering sexy. Dahlia’s past is quickly revealed and you learn and sympathize with why she did the bad things she did. Kudos to Ms. Persell for an inventive and believable backstory. This book is well-written, emotional, and intense. The suspense and action will keep you on the edge of your seat. I’m hooked on this series.

This is the second book in Micah Persell’s Operation: Middle of the Garden. I picked this one up, not having read the first one but it didn’t matter, I was hooked immediately by the fast paced, edge of the seat action. In this paranormal story, Dahlia, a woman known only for her cruel torture in a testing facility, battles with her attraction to Jericho, who is, in Dahlia’s opinion, “another do-good freak”. Jericho has been sent to drag her back to the prison from which she escaped. The attraction has been sparked when a short interaction before she escapes Impulse-Pairs them, making them mates for life. A situation Dahlia cannot allow.
The author’s plot twists had me screaming through the book to find out what would happen next and her sizzling love scenes had my eyes watering. I was intrigued by Micah’s exploration of what it meant to be “evil” and her sensitive handling of the villain/heroine. Don’t miss this book.

I recently reviewed Micha's first book Of Eternal Life so I was very happy to review Of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Initially I was given a copy to review, but instead I bought a copy for my Kindle.
The concept is highly original and because I already knew the history when picking up the second book I was straight in with Dahlia and Jericho's story. I really loved these characters. Anyone who can turn a hard-nosed, seemingly unredeemable character such as Dahlia into someone you care for is a talented writer. This is what Micha Persell has done with Dahlia. Along the way you learn the reasons why Dahlia behaved the way she did in Of Eternal Life. And Jericho? He's such a lovely warm forgiving hero with such heart. I really enjoyed this book.

Author Micah Persell has certainly hit her stride with OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL! The second novel in her Operation: Middle of the Garden series, this intense and imaginative paranormal tale has all the marks of a Hollywood thriller, including a tortured, seemingly diabolical, Latina heroine who continues to surprise the reader from start to finish. I saw Jennifer Lopez in the role, racing against time and some deep, dark secrets as she attempts to save those she loves - and herself in the process. Throw in a hunky hero who must bring her to justice, mingled with the plight of those ensnared by the discovery of human immortality, and you have the makings of a compelling and "high concept" blockbuster. I loved this novel and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

How does one take an evil character from book one, Of Eternal Life, and transform her into a compelling and sympathetic figure in book two? The author does not do it by a magic stroke of her pen. Nope, the character, Dahlia, remains problematic until, little by little, her life and her reasons are revealed. The story is gripping and sets a hell-bent-for-leather pace throughout. Jericho, the hero, is wonderfully sweet and blissfully take-charge, and I couldn't have been happier to see his heart healing. As their personalities and goals clash, sparks inevitably fly, yet it is that very fire that completes them and renders them beautifully whole. Well done.
I purchased this book online and have given this review freely and without monetary compensation.

I fell in love with both Jericho and Dahlia because they were both emotionally compelling, but so DIFFERENT from one another. And yet, despite their differences, I totally saw why they fell for each other [well, other than the Impulse, of course;-)] I really felt for Dahlia throughout, and Jericho was the perfect hero for her kick-ass badass attitude because he protected her, but never took away from her. I was moved by Dahlia’s back story, and I got her from beginning to end. Her child was believable, and I could visualize him, his grandmother, and even the neighborhood vividly. I look forward to book three!

I finished Of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in one sitting, yesterday.
I thoroughly enjoyed Micah Persell's follow on to Of Eternal Life. Jericho is a wonderfully flawed hero; sweet and sexually innocent while being a super-soldier. It's a nice change to see a hero who is not a super-stud, but a nervous man worried about pleasing the woman he loves. And Jericho loves Dahlia; not matter what her issues and secrets. Dahlia wants nothing to do with men...any men, but has no choice where Jericho is concerned and this drives her crazy.
The story is fast-paced and well balanced with action, drama and humor. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I LOVED this book!!! Dahlia was probably one of my favorite heroines of all time. She was the perfect balance of fiery/ strong and emotional/ passionate. I love reading stories about opposites attracting because they challenge each other in ways a perfectly complimented couple might not. Jericho is a sexy, musclebound, do-gooder who thinks right and wrong only comes in shades of black and white; while Dahlia believes love and HEAs are only the fodder of fairy tales. I thoroughly enjoyed watching them prove the other wrong.

A better second book
The mystery of why seemingly good people were working with Taylor on his crazy experiments becomes clear.
The hero is coming from a very dark place, and he realizes there are people who have suffered like him.

Book #2 in the series. Excellent also. My only complaint is it was too short.
