Reseña del libro "Honey Goddess: A Novel (en Inglés)"
A struggling salon owner is chosen by the African goddess Oshun and plunged into an ancient power struggle in this slow-burn romantasy of ancestral magic, divine feminine power, and the woman bold enough to claim it.
When a goddess is reborn, empires tremble.
Generations ago, a circle of women in the freed-Black town of Amaniville, NY, called on the old gods to save their people. That prayer became a promise as they awaited the daughters who would fulfill it.
Lola Callendar’s life is a hot mess on a good day. She has forty-three dollars to her name, a failing natural-hair salon, and not enough rose quartz to fix the selfish boyfriend she fears is her last chance.
This Caribbean-American beauty-guru is starting to believe she’s too late—for love, for success, for her own happy ending—until a rare cosmic event when she and her found-family of three ride-or-die besties pull forbidden African goddess oracle cards, and everything changes.
She draws one name: Oshun. An Orisha. A goddess of love, beauty, and abundance. Now bees follow her, honey calls to her, and men stare.
Enter Sebastian D’ablemont—an infuriatingly fine Nawlins Creole alpha billionaire. It’s hate at first sight on both sides, even though he sees her magic, not her mess, and may have some secrets and powers of his own.
But as the a group of energy vampires called Dominion of the Light close in, Lola’s goddess circle and the conjure woman who mentors them prepare for spiritual warfare.
To save her heart—and the world for those who look like her—Lola will have to remember who she truly is.
