Juma

The Keeper #2

by Madhuri Pavamani

"Full of sex, magic, and turmoil...poetic and utterly beautiful. I can't remember the last time a book made to stop and think, wow." —Meredith Wild, #1 New York Times bestselling author on Dutch

JUMA is the second book in The Keeper Series and continues the thrilling, sexy urban fantasy saga that began with DUTCH.

I work for Death; helping her cross the dead back to the living. I am the best at what I do, and I fear no one.

Then I cross paths with Dutch Mathew and all I hold sacred is turned on its head.

Dutch is an uncontrollable force of nature, and I want nothing more than to wrap myself around him for all of my lives. Our love is desperate like a sickness, blinding in its madness, suffocating in its intensity. Together we are light and laughter and all things beautiful, but we are no fools. We know darkness looms. Dutch has tried to topple an entity he cannot hope to...

I knew when I got this that I would love it because if it was anything like Dutch how could I not. What I didn't expect, but should've, was that it she would WOW me. Juma and Dutch, Dutch and Juma touching sucking and well keeping it nice here. That's the 2 of them from the moment they met. They got inside each other and then Death did what she does and throws a wrench in things. But it's Juma and Dutch, Dutch and Juma and now it's time to take charge. With the help of Dutch's friends, yup that's what I said, they do it the way only they can. But it wouldn't be the same without the Oh No She Didn't ending!

This story is full of suspense, fighting, blood, sex, and love. And how the author puts it all together leaves the reader fulfilled, wanting more, yelling, counting, gasping, cursing and just feeling. I thought her first series did me in when I was done reading it but I have a feeling when the next book comes out it's going to top it. If you're going to read anything this year make it The Keeper Series!

Word love. The author has the ability to craft exquisitely formed sentence, that I found myself mouthing the words to see if the motion felt as beautiful in action as they were to read, and think. The story is a complex mosaic of characters and positions, but at the same time is very basic, raw, and primal, lust, love, need, want, and violence.
Juma is wonderful character simple, vulnerable, fearful, and yet forced to become strong, violent, and fearsome. Dutch is beyond complicated a man of words and a multitude of thoughts and less action, while Juma is all action and a single thought. At 90% I found myself looking at the percentage screaming in my head no it can't be near the end, every page I looked at the percentage thinking there has to be more needs to be more, right until the end.

I was given an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Better than the first book -- which was very good. Very, very, very dark and twisted. Not for the faint of heart and as mentioned previously definitely not for prudes. :-)

Longer review to follow ... soon

Great addition to this paranormal series. Dutch and Juma have a battle ahead of them can they truly win? This read is filled with steamy sex, loads of suspense and drama. I was hooked from beginning to end, this series just keeps getting better and better. I look forward to finding out what happens next.

In awe of this captivating fantasy novel! Although I did not read the earlier book in the Keeper series, I was able to appreciate Juma as a standalone. Exceptional character development drew the reader in, making me root for their success against all odds!
