Eniola is a boy who looks like a man. His schoolteacher father loses his job due to a shakeup in the education system, and falls into a deep depression. This leaves Eniola working as an errand boy for the local tailor, collecting newspapers and begging (much against his will). He wants so much more for his life, though…
Wuraola is from a wealthy family. Her parents are proud of her succeeding in her aim to be a doctor - and now they expect her to marry. And Kunle is the son of friends that they favour. But he’s volatile in private (to say the least).
We follow the stories of Eniola and Wuraola and the differences in their lives are stark. Eniola goes to school hungry, he’s beaten by the teachers because his parents pay their school fees late (if at all). And finally, he thinks he has found a way out of his poverty - when in fact it’s something far worse.
Wuraola’s life is difficult in a different way: she has a well-paid, well-respected job, but the Nigerian health system is overstretched, underfunded and doesn’t have enough doctors. But she believes in doing her duty, so she works hard, and says yes when Kunle proposes.
Wuraola’s and Eniola’s lives are on a collision course though.
I inhaled this book. It’s gritty and doesn’t hold back in any way. It’s an insight into lives I’ve never experienced and so powerfully told. The themes of domestic abuse, poverty, access to education and political corruption make for a heartbreaking read.

The Lost Heir ( crown of blood and frost book 1)
By CY Jones
I'm the daughter of a billionaire.
Queen of my private school, and now let's add fairy princess to the mix.
Crazy Right?
When the new hottie in town tells me that I’m his soul bound mate, that I’m in danger, and he’s taking me back to the other side of the veil, my first instinct is to tell him he’s insane.
Until I can’t deny the truth any longer.
A series of events has turned my life upside down, and my so called bound mate, may or may not have my best interest at heart.
He says he's the prince of another land, but I’m Winter DelaCorte, Queen of LA, and I bow to
no one.
A missing princess, a vampire prince, a fae king and a knight in shiny black feathers! What’s not to like? A young girl with a lot on her shoulders after her father goes missing presumably dead not only just became a billionaires but also a long lost princess with 3 bonded men! Story was interesting characters were likeable and no so likeable. Looking forward to seeing where it goes!
