The Handbringer by Christopher J. Penington is what you get when urban fantasy, high fantasy and historical fiction have coffee together. If you love a good adventure story this would be right up your alley. While the book boasts a combination that promises to deliver, did it really?
Peter Hadrian the dashing cop protagonist is savaged by a vampire when he takes a distress call. He wakes up in the facility and told he has been chosen for a mission, one that takes him backwards in time! He is sent to defeat the source of the vampirism outbreak by killing Dracula. It’s not that simple (as expected) and on the way love is found, friendship bonds are forged, and adventure is had.
I love the premise of this book clearly. Chris fleshed out Romania’s history and put some colour into the possibilities of the reality of Vlad. I learned about the politics of living in ancient Romanian times before it was actually Romania. It's very immersive if you've fantasized about being a strapping medieval warrior that is. It’s funny and sad to see in writing how people in the past would have reacted to such an outbreak and even a possible cure outside the realms of their knowledge. There’s a big dollop of Christianity inspired concepts in this book and it was nice.

Focus: The focus of this book is based on a story of love, care, slavery, skillfulness and happy ending.
What I like about this book: The words which were used are easy to understand and the simplified to primary level.
I am going to tell you about a book i started reading 3 weeks ago, this book is titled 50 KEYS TO WOMEN ACCOMPLISHMENT by ' Layo Charles Emmanuel'' a female writer, motivational speaker and pastor. It is a usual book and telling you all about it here can't really be expressed properly. I find it difficult to read non-medical and fashion books, but i decide to change my habit and it paid me. This book talks and teaches about how to discover your purpose as a woman, such as laying a solid foundation in life, pursuing your purpose in life, the accomplished woman and her family... lots more. A very interesting and life-changing book. The author states "I have discovered that there is much more to being a woman than just managing to keep a home intact, having a good-paying job or a great body! Hence, i have gone ahead to share these 50 vital keys that will guarantee that you as a woman will be accomplished in every area of life''.
I read this book in my free time, break-in school, when coming back from uni or when sitting down outside of my house while the cool breeze of the evenings blows making the trees sing, lots of inspirations come in and i write them down. Times has past when all we learnt in school is all we need to know, get wise and start impacting good things into your life 'remember that our daily decision and habit has a huge impact upon both our level of happiness and success''. This book is not necessarily for only women because what can change a woman's life can also change a man, get a copy for yourself and a loved one, you can get it as a birthday gift, mothers day gift or sisterly gift, Change your life and someone else's life today. It comes in both hard copy on AMAZON and Emails me (godisablej66@gmail.com) for the electronic (E COPY) which goes for 9.99 dollars.
I already got my copy.. grab yours now. WORD: The best investment a man can make is investing in his life.
