I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I am blown away by House of Badawi! Do you like women with sharp objects? LGBT-friendly platonic and romantic relationships? How about betrayal, deception, deep devotion, loss, and immortality? You're going to LOVE this book!

Valxina Kulrani has worked her way up to the role of Keeper of the Spring of immortality, facing the obstacle of being poor in a role traditionally filled by children of nobility, fighting off the disdain of anyone who would look down on her. Read along as she comes into her power and strength.

Enter the Caribbean-inspired world created by C.J. Khemi  - The House of Badawi reigns supreme over its little corner of the world. Explore the Tower, full of strong, independent ladies (Keepers chosen by the gods) who protect the Spring, and their daring and brave personal guards. All is well for Badawi while they are on guard! Until it isn't...

Betrayal hits, enemies become friends, and friends become lovers. Everyone has a past you know nothing about...you won't know who to believe. There is too much to discover, so read for yourself!
