Sexy, Seductive, Scary

We've all read the emails encouraging people to support the film that nobody can ever seem to find. Well, I found the book in a local bookstore recently and sunk into the brief 168 pages the next day. Chance and Roberta have been married for years. After trying unsuccessfully to produce a child for a long period of time, they resort to drastic medical techniques. Roberta does become pregnant and the couple has never been happier. That is, until Roberta insists on going to an amusement park in her third trimester. Michael and Lauren, their best friends, agree to go along and the day turns out to be unforgettable.Michael insists that they stay a little longer and go on one more ride. Roberta selects the ferris wheel, one of her childhood favorites and something slow enough for a pregnant woman to deal with. Unfortunately, the negligence of the ride operator and a faulty safety bar transform into a series of tragic events. Roberta plumments to the ground and ultimately to her death. The baby is recovered by C-section but only lives a few minutes. After the burial of the two, the guilt and accusations sink in.Believe it or not, this is where the book truly begins. Fueled by obsession and determination to replace the wife and child he lost, Chance becomes a madman, a stalker, a killer. Eric L. Bowers weaves an erotic, suspenseful tale and will leave readers desperate to see the movie that nobody can seem to find.

Asunder.. A show stopper

I read the book "Asunder" and it was wonderful reading. I read the book in a day and a half, I could not put it down. And yes, I am a readaholic, but this book is one that you won't put down until the last page is read. Its what every single man should read and what every married man should already know. I have also had the distinct pleasure of seeing the movie that Mr. Tim Reid directed and it was excellent. When I tell you the characters that were pick for the various parts will truly shock you. You will literally be on the edge of your seat, you will scream at the screen, you will cover your eyes, you will laugh and you will shed a tear. It is definitely a must see after you've enjoyed this well written, Black version of"fatal attraction". To Mr. Eric L. Bowers, please write a sequel, don't leave us hanging, I know you have it in you. Thanks for the experience, well written. And to Mr. Tim Reid, thanks for bringing it to the screen. Big ups to both of you!!!

When friendship takes a left turn on Maniac Avenue!

ASUNDER was the bomb book! It took two days for me to read it, and the ending left me wanting a sequel. From what I understand, a movie was made based on the novel. I can only hope that it remained true to the novel and maintained the same level of suspense and madness. Read this, my fellow bookworms, and I guarentee that you will not be sorry!

ASUNDER, by Eric Lee Bowers

I Loved this book! It was full of suspence and I could NOT put it down! I can imagine many people being in a simular situation(maybe not as devastating)as this one. It will keep you at the edge of your seat and hoping for another book by Eric Bowers real soon! I know I can't wait! I would love to tell you of the contents but I would just rattle on and tell you the whole story and ruin it for the rest of you! Please read it and enjoy the mystery and suspense of it all! I had to stop at parts to get a grip and then begin again! I was anticipating so many different endings that I got all tense inside waiting for the outcome! I think you need to read this book to judge for yourself that he is a wonderful writer! I loved this book and so did my husband! Happy READING!
