Project Onion penned by the author Karen Stensgaard is an intriguing suspense novel. Main character of the story is Kathryn Jensen aka Kat. She has recently joined at Melville Consulting as an internal auditor in New York. There are total four persons in that investigation company: Kat’s boss Jackson, a former CIA Spy, Anita, an ex-NYPD Detective and Shantelle, an in-house lawyer.

Kat has been assigned on Project Onion, a code word. She has tracked main bank account of a Puerto Rican drug Lord El Rey. The bank freezes the account of El and therefore, he threatened Jackson to kill him. Jackson and his employees stayed hidden under the office table and Kat decided that she will quit this job that involves so much danger.

I was amazed to know about Kat’s year off from work for a vacation and visiting family and friends. This is not something everybody can do. Reading about Nathan and Kat’s brother made me emotional. No matter how bad a situation is, nobody should even think about suicide. Read this book to know will Kat decide to continue her job. Language used in the book is lucid. Storyline is unique and interesting. The twists and turns in the story kept me on the edge and I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it.

I am highly impressed with Karen’s writing and I am curious to read more of her work.

I am really glad to get my hands on an amazing poetry book Eleven Sundry Flowers penned by the author Frank Mundo and illustrated by Keith Draws.

Frank had written eleven poems for her wife Nancy Aceves during their courtship days. He has composed these poems for eleven days, one poem a day. The author has only written eleven poems i.e. flowers for his Nancy because she is the twelfth flower.

The author has narrated about his feelings and life in these poems. These are love poems and I enjoyed reading them. The illustrations are rich. This is the first time that I have read a book with such rich illustrations. Flower Powered is my favorite poem from the collection. In this, the author has related his love Nancy with the butterfly 🦋.

These poems seem very close to the author’s heart. This way of presentation of love is something I can’t appreciate in words. I loved this idea to present a flower/poem to your fiance during the courtship days. If you love reading poems then pick this book. You will love the author’s writing in which he has poured his heart.

And in your smile,
I saw the love once mine.
