About the author

D. Camille

65 books236 followers
I'm D. Camille and I am an avid reader and author. I started reading romance books when I was thirteen and since then I've read hundreds. I wanted to write a series that contained the culture and history of the African and African American people.

I like to utilize historical information, science and ancient beliefs. I write for people to enjoy, think, analyze and learn; not only about the characters but hopefully also about themselves. I love to hear from my readers. Write me and tell me about your favorite characters and what you love about them. Me, I love all of them...they came from my heart.

Ase! (so let it be)

Yaaaaaassss Sistar Yaaaaaassss🔥🔥

This series is so good and suspenseful. Each book answers questions but also leaves you with more questions. I love how Malachi and Cynthia were friends before they were lovers and they worked so well together. They were building a relationship foundation without even knowing that they were while cherishing their friendship. I'm glad that they are finally getting some ideas who the Neo-Negus are so they can at least try to bring them in since they're already being mentored by the Negus. I Iove when characters from previous book series are intertwined with the new books and they all working together but not overshadowing the new characters. I can't wait to read Ethan's story and see what happens next with the Neo-Negus.

Ended too soon

Book 2 of The Negus Effect did not disappoint. Both Malachi and Cynthia were loved in their city for the work that they did. Seeing the two go from friends to lovers while also trying to solve a the crimes happening in Detroit made for an AMAZING READ. The story ended much too soon for me. I am ready for book 3 and have already pre-ordered, counting down the next 28 days to read Ethan's story. Once again D. Camille delivered a live story filled with romance and suspense 👍👍🖐💜💜⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

EXPERTLY WRITTEN!

Another series I'm already in love with. Malachi and Cynthia were an excellent team working together to solve what seems to still be a little bit of a mystery to me. Yes, some of the players involved got dealt with but I am sure we'll ALL be surprised when all are revealed and the mystery solved. To make sure I am ready, book three has been preordered. So looking forward to reading Ethan's story, maybe Dawn will play a part in his story too.

I love MalachiRoberts he was so sweet, just like all the men in D. Camille's books. The Expert was as usual well written for a D. Camille book and I'm waiting for just a bit of extension in the next book continuing to include the wedding we got a glimpse of while Cynthia was in a little coma. Thank you D. I love your writing.

The Negus just keep getting hotter and hotter. Malachi and Cynthia went from friends to lovers without missing a beat. Malachi reminds me of Ray Parker from the Black Diamonds, might have to read them again will I wait for the next in series.

What? Another group acting like the Original OG’s , The Negus. Yet something is not quite right so The Master, George Shaw, calls in The Expert, Malachi Roberts, to discover what was really happening, why and who was behind it. Malachi Roberts was not named the Expert for nothing. Right by his side was friend-to-lover Cynthia Walters, top investigative reporter for the Detroit News. The story takes off from there and there is never a dull moment. Immediately, you realize the D Camille has done it again. This is a must read. Corruption, bombs, arson and graft is rampant, but the Expert takes care of business. I recommend this book for your reading

Justice

This is stories is about love and strength 💪 and courage. The expert did not expect to find 💘 only friend ship. The job he does is dangerous and tired to protect the person he love. He at the point that he do any thing. Can not wait to see 👀 what going to happen next.

The Negus in full affect

The Expert was a difficult read for me. It seemed slower in pace than the norm of D Camille’s work. So incredibly glad I did. True to the norm, The Expert has me pumped for Book 3.....No one leaves you wanting more than D Camille

I figured out who the Neo-Negus was/has to be early on and one of the members WAY before it was revealed at the end. I still say, they could have just pulled the security tape from KatyDids and just asked the kids what was going on.
