Scarlet Solstice Bo Folarin

Christmas is for giving. This year Jelena's giving Berlin a bloodbath. When Khoi and the gang hire this stunning and dangerously beautiful lady assassin to exact revenge for the recent murder of a fellow gang member. They get more than they asked for...much more. Scarlet Solstice reads like exuberant and slightly mad serial killer's guide to Berlin. The bodies pile up casting a pall upon the holiday season. Scarlet Solstice is a tangled story of treachery, love and lust from the streets of Berlin which turns the whole Crime thriller genre on its head with gripping details that helps the reader not only imagine what the book contains but positively feel the plight of the characters within which allows everyone, what ever their taste, to find something within the book that appeals to them. B. O. Folarin's first novel is a trip through the underbelly of Europe's thug culture and by association the dark and twisted part of our minds. The narrative spins wildly from lust and love to destruction and hate in barely more than a single word. These unexpected twists and turns do much to keep the reader enthralled and more importantly, uneasy.
