Tears Behind My Eyes is an autobiography of Miles Perkins. Miles talks about his life’s experiences starting with his childhood. Many different experiences, interwoven together, set the stage to produce the tears, character and strength behind the man who lives today! Many of us never know or understand why people are the way that they are today. We certainly don’t understand why the same events can happen to two people and affect them very differently.

Miles was exposed to a lascivious lifestyle at a very early age. His experiences shaped his thinking and dealings with women that afforded him the extraordinary fantasy-like experiences that undoubtedly were pleasurable at times but made it very difficult to maintain and cultivate meaningful relationships. Miles explores his past, his feelings and those cataclysmic experiences that seem to turn his world upside down at times. From having a brief relationship with stardom as a young rapper to being caught up in a ménage trios that seemed to get the best of him at times.

Chase Pryze and his identical twin brother, Caine, are taken from their drug-addicted parents, and separated at birth. Each twin suffers through a harsh childhood, and believes the other twin leads a charmed life. The streets make the twins hard and hungry for the grind. While Caine rises to power in New York City's drug world, Chase reigns in the streets of Bridgeport, Connecticut. At the age of twenty-two, the twins meet face-to-face as rival drug lords; each seeking to destroy the other. Chase will not go down without a fight, and neither will Caine. Through taut narrative and dialog, Eyes on the Pryze explores the lies, greed, and deceit living in the twins' camps, which threaten to cause each brother to lose everything; including his life at the hands of his twin.

The story was an interesting read, but just a little short on character development. The story opens with Zena packing Malik’s stuff to give him his walking papers. I felt like something was missing and the grammatical errors threw me. When I read a short story, I like to be able to say that I’ve got the whole story.

Overall I felt that this book was a very good read. When Sammie began telling her story, I expected the bad, but the things that the author revealed through Sammie were very shocking. Her childhood was stolen from her and she was manipulated by her "Daddy," whom she cherished above all things. Her grandmother was pure evil and even though she had her reasons, it didn't justify the things she did to Sammie. Sammie let her demons take her to a place that no child should have to go, but considering the circumstances and everything she went through, it's no wonder she didn't turn out even worse. I think she could have been saved, but she always put her dad above all else and he turned out to be her biggest demise.

This is the first book I have read by Shakir Rashaan and I must say I was impressed. It was evident that the author did thorough research as well as outlined the book. There were unforeseen plots and events that kept the reader well engrossed in the story. I'm pretty sure I read this story within 3-4 days because I was hooked from page one. I look forward to reading more from this author. :)

I would definitely be catching up and reading the rest of the series. I like thrillers and I've heard great things about this one. I liked how the author was able to weave a mystery into the BDSM lifestyle. I would definitely pass it on to friends, family, and anyone that's looking for a good thriller/mystery. You will not be disappointed in this series. Good job on the series and good luck to the author.

Explain more about The Dominate/Submissive lifestyle. Someone not paying attention would think the author didn't edit instead of showing the relationship between them.

Deviant Intent: Obsession is very different than most of the books I typically read. The synopsis the author gives really had me intrigued. As I was reading the book I began to get disappointed. The main character, P.I Dominic Law, you do not get to feel the character out and get a true connection with him. I would have liked more detail on the cases. I suggest, author Shakir Rashaan focus on writing the story rather than giving the readers a glimpse of BDSM when it’s a mystery.

What did you like most about this book?
It was very different from most books I read and it reminded me of many crime sitcoms I watch on TV such as Law and Order SVU.

What did you like least about this book?
The book did not spend a lot of time focusing on the crimes. I was confused when P.I Dominic Law was on a case and then an interruption of the BDSM. There were many details about bondage and sadomasochism which did not pertain to the crime cases. I was looking for more information revolving the cases and the serial killer.

Any suggestions for how this book could have been better?
More suspense, more mystery centered about the cases as opposed to the BDSM breaks between each one.
