This book tells the story of three college students who are friends embarking on the edge of independence. As a 30 something this book really hit home on how I viewed myself and my friends in our twenties. These three friends are navigating college together and the author does a great job illustrating college life, their love lives, parties, etc. However what I believe the author does best is illustrate how relationships can change over time. It shows how, with startling accuracy, how simple it is for women (and men) to fall into an abusive, controlling relationship. It also does an excellent job showing what the friends of those in these relationships go through. I will admit, the story hit home for me in many ways. The Colors of Friendship is the first in a trilogy and I cannot wait to read the second book. Because as we all know, the decisions we make have lasting impacts on the people around us. I can only hope that the second book continues to explore these friendships and their relationships with the same level of depth that was featured in this book!

Raye – Review by Christine Baranek
Great read—especially for young adults! Ms. Raye did a magnificent job captivating the audience and making them feel that they were also in the circle of friendship! Excited for book 2 in the series—very enjoyable and I love how she portrayed how you never really know what is going on behind closed doors in relationships. A beautifully written story that continually draws the reader in! This story follows the lives of three best friends as they navigate family, relationships, the ups & down of friendship, and falling in love….& the struggles they face because of their differences. The author does a marvelous job outlining abuse and how it not only affects the person being abused, but also affects those who love the victim of abuse. The twist at the end is something you don’t see coming! Fabulous read! Looking forward to the remainder of the books in this trilogy.

Raye – Review by Christina Gran
The Colors of Friendship is a pretty straightforward read, not TOO in depth, and easy to follow. The story is about 3 best friends that love and protect each other. Melody is a childlike romantic, living with her head in the clouds, and wants nothing more than to find her Prince Charming. Instead, she bumps into Kevin (literally) and while he seems to have the ability to always know what to say, he is far from her Prince. Imani is level headed and focused on her studies and career goals. Unlike Melody, she has no interest in finding a love interest. Then, Trevor comes along, great friends that they are…..And then you have Lance, the football star and womanizer. The irony here is that he uses women for his own pleasures (frequently) but is severely protective if HIS girls (Melody and Imani). There are some triggers in here for romantic scenes and abuse, so that should be known as well….Overall, There are plenty of peaks in this book, and the plot and dialogue flows effortlessly, but it just was not my preference in style. I do think others will enjoy this read, however, so I will leave it as a 4 star. Reviewed By: @zoltrixes

Raye – Review by Amanda Swindle
This was a nice read, I really enjoy college themed stories and this one did not miss for me. I enjoyed following Imani, Melody and Lance and it was nice to be able to read see each of their perspectives through the book. Three college students with three different dreams and three different paths. It was also so nice to see such a strong friendship between the three of them, it was a very refreshing to see such a solid friendship while in college. I’m used to reading about a lot of toxic friendships in that age range. There was some domestic violence involved in this book so that may be a trigger for some, but it was written so well, and realistically & could be helpful for some going through similar situations out there. I really do look forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.

3.8/5 stars This book was okay. I could see the theme the author was trying to do, I just don’t think it was executed well. Every time I read “mommy” I cringed. It gave Melody a child like persona instead of an adult one. I do appreciate that the black characters didn’t have an exaggerated version of AAVE like other authors try to do. I wish this book was more realistic to the ages of the characters and the college experience.

When a book gets you at its dedication and acknowledgment you know you in for a treat !
When someone is honest and cares their heart like this “ First let me give thanks to God for gifting me with the writing bug that I just couldn’t kick . To my exquisite husband …. ❤️ how precious , thank you for sharing your heart
I then read the prologue and my blood runs cold …..
What an epic read this was and characters really just climb into your heart .
Armani is really studious and want to achieve and she does and Melody you just won my heart from the get go with your fairytale like belief in everything , I think you and I could be great friends
Lance , you amuse me but you have a good heart
There was so much going on and I don’t say it in a negative way at all , so many topics touched on and dealt with but in essence it was about the friendship these people shared and it’s so very precious and their journey had me in tears , had me shaking my head and there were times I just wanted to put it down and walk away but my perseverance was rewarded ❣️📕

This is book one of the series. I didn’t know what to expect but boy this book took me for a ride.
This book is about three friends who couldn’t be more different if they tried. Melody is the romantic dreamer. She is absolutely convinced she will find the love of her life and live happily ever after. She wants what her parents have and while there is nothing wrong with that, she places a lot of importance in finding her soulmate in college. Imani is tough and no nonsense. While she doesn’t think love doesn’t exist she doesn’t value it the way Melody does. Lance feels love doesn’t exist but outside of football all he needs to worry about is Melody and Imani. Melody meets Kevin and she’s sure he’s everything she’s looked for. Even when things begin to change she gives him the benefit of the doubt. Imani never had a good feeling about Kevin but Imani and Lance will be there for Melody no matter what.
This book is well written. It touches on some sensitive subject matter as it relates to abusive relationships but it was done well. There was a lot of emotion in this story as Imani and Lance navigated how to help Melody. I enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more.

Sports, Mystery & Body Parts… OH MY! This is a short story that is fast paced and I think the author did a good job writing it. The main characters are good ones and I loved following their story and seeing where this huge mystery was going. I am looking forward to more by this author in the future! Happy Reading.

Insatiable Darkness was a great first book in the Vigilant series. It left me wanting more and more and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series. There is a cliffhanger so beware, however it made me NEED to continue with the series. The author has a great writing style and she led us into the characters in a way that made us learn who they were and their prevalence to the story. I really enjoyed and will be grabbing what else is out in the series asap! A great thrilling ride to settle in and solve the mystery!

This was my first book by this author, but it is far from the last! Insatiable Darkness was a short but thrilling read. I have a feeling I am going to devour this entire series right after this review. EmVee had no idea what she was getting into at her new town, but surprises lurked in every corner. Being a strong female athlete comes with its disadvantages yet her new school appears to have some individuals up for the challenge. Will this finally be a place she fits in and finds a suitable partner? I enjoyed all the twists and turns during this rollercoaster story. It is fast paced so I didn’t even have time to guess what happens next. Heading to get the next book now!

This book is about three college friends. Imani, Melody and Lance have very different personalities but they are there for each other. This story gives you a variety of different college experiences, partying, friendship, studying, meeting new people, and making romantic connections. This may be a trigger for some people because of a relationship that becomes abusive. This book was well written and the characters are well developed. This book brings out different emotions while reading. I was kept captivated throughout the entire story. I can’t wait to read the next one in this series.

Raye – Review by Candida Hopper
The Colors of Friendship is about just that, friendship. It explores different worlds that come together to cross paths you wouldn’t think to collide. The author had an uncanny ability to make you think, feel, and react to what the characters have to go through. It did seem to have a slower start that what I personally enjoy, but making it through the beginning and into the meat of the book proved to be completely worth it. I definitely recommend relishing this book and allowing yourself to continue up to the very end, as it is completely worth it!

Raye – Review by Trisha Cargile
This was a great read that was centered around college friendships. I enjoyed that friendship was the main theme and thought it was a good choice to place the romantic relationships in the background. Melody, Imani, and Lance have found such a great balance of school and friendship, always supporting each other through everything! There is a switch in point of views with each chapter which can feel a little quick but is refreshing as you don’t get fatigued by too many details. Throughout the story I feel one of the main characters, Melody, seemed to lack a little depth so she didn’t feel quite as real as the others. I finished it in one day as I couldn’t wait to find out what happened. I can’t wait to pickup the second book!

This book is in the YA genre and I feel that anyone would appreciate this book if they like supernatural stories. This book is a very quick read and can be finished in a day. The characters in this story have great depth and feel real emotions that any teen would feel in this type of situation. Moving to a new town can cause anyone some anxiety but throw in missing kids and it just hits different emotions. This is also a prequel to the series and I am hoping it will give some more background into the characters as the series continues. I felt a little disconnect with them during this story but not enough to make a huge difference. The mysteries in the book keep you hooked throughout and turning the pages to see what happens. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series to continue to build on these characters and to continue the mysteries. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes a quick read with lots of mystery.

This book brings out all kinds of emotions but was written so well. There are triggers in it but it’s like the author is talking about your friends. You fall in love with the three main characters and you feel like you are right there with them. Lots of twist and turns buts so good.

Raye – Review by Heather Goodman
All I have to say is WOW! The Colors of Friendship is a very powerful novel. With some very dark themes. Be mindful going into it, I was hesitant but I’m so glad I took the leap. Three friends meeting at college orientation for different things. I felt at that age I related the most to Imani. I was that friend, still am. No nonsense, tell it like it is, but will always be there for you. Unfortunately I could also say I related to Imani even more based on what her character went through and fought for. I’ve been in those situations. Outside looking in, in a terrible situation. Letting the one you care for go for someone else in your circle. Then there’s Lance, I’ve known quite a few Lance’s in my life. People like Lance, you want on your side, unfortunately till they grow up they only make good friends. Now there’s Melody, the main focus of this novel. Unfortunately my best friend growing up was a Melody when it came to relationships. Just takes us back to the outside looking in, knowing that no matter what you do or say it doesn’t matter it won’t get through. Which is exactly why Melody believed everything boyfriend Kevin said and challenged Imani. If you’ve ever been in any type of abusive relationship, approach this book with caution. The author does a phenomenal job with each character, and setting the themes throughout. They always say you can’t choose your family but you can choose your friends. My friends are my family. I want friends like Imani and Lance in my life. I hope Melody sees that going into book 2, she’s going to need them. Especially with how book 1 ended, and no I’m not telling. You are just going to have to read it for yourself!

I enjoyed the fact that one of the main focuses in this book is the relationship between friends. Even with other things going on that was always right at the heart of the book. The book was well thought out with some strong themes running through. This is a newer author to me and I enjoyed thr way the story was crafted. Although I thought it was quite an easy read I also found that it had depth and emotion throughout. This is a great start to a new trilogy and I will definitely be reading book 2.

EmVee is a strong MC this this book. She is a high school boxer from a family of professional boxers. She first feels like an outsider as once usually does when one moves to a new town. She then meets Silas and Kayson and she starts feeling like she belongs. Just as she feels this way teens start disappearing and nobody knows what’s going on. The twists and turns in this prequel made do lots of double takes and scratching my head! I enjoyed reading this and the characters were likeable. The writing was done well and had a good pace to it. I feel like I will be getting the first book to see how everything plays out!

A young adult supernatural thriller, seemed right up my ally when I first started reading this novel. While I have only read one other book by this author, it was enough to make me come back for more. The cover has beautiful colors that really make it pop, the character development was great, and it was a fantastic short novel to get me put of my reading slump. So whether you are looking for your next read, or your looking for something to get you out of a slump, make sure you pick this one up today.

This was a wonderful story. The author does a great job showing how abuse affects the victim and those around them. Melody is a naïve, hopeless romantic. She is hoping to find the love of her life in college just like her parents. Imani is sassy, loud and unapologetic. She is an extremely loyal friend and it shows. Lance is a star football player, he’s hoping to get into the NFL. He also will do anything for his 2 best friends.
A couple of concerns I had: -The 3 of them are incredibly close, you would think that they were childhood friends. When really they just met at orientation. It seemed weird how their friendship was seeing they didn’t know each other that long
-The ending seemed incomplete. I know there are other books to come. The ending just seemed oddly abrupt, it felt like something was missing.
Outside of a few small issues from me, I am very interested in how their friendship evolves as they grow!

Insatiable Darkness YA fantasy story and an intriguing story and an interesting prelude to the series. The story is written in third person and I felt a slight disconnect with the main character, I think I needed more backstory for them. It also took me a few chapters to get into the story. Having said that it does not mean that the story didn’t have all the elements to be a good story. The story is fast paced and not quite as cohesive as I would have liked. It is a short tale that I would have liked to see a bit longer. As this is the set up for the series, I am hoping we get more in future books.
There is mythology and mystery, danger and supernatural/paranormal beings, magic and more that I am sure that any YA fantasy lover will enjoy.

This was an excellent book about three friends and their relationships, with each other and with other friends made in their freshman and sophomore years of college. These three friends, Lance, Imani and Melody have a great relationship, but have to figure out how to balance friends, school and romantic relationships. When Melody meets and starts dating Kevin, they quickly become attached at the hip and are inseparable, so when Kevin starts to become abusive and controlling, Melody decides to overlook the issues, and starts to blame herself for what is happening. This book is very good at covering what abuse looks like, both psychological and mental, and the view from the outside looking in (from Imani and Lance, though mostly Imani), and from the inside, with the victim often believing themselves because they are being love bombed into thinking that they are the problem and they are the reason for whatever is wrong in the relationship.
I am truly looking forward to reading the other two books in this series. The characters are relatable, and the story pulls you in from the beginning.

Raye – Review by Candice Estes
Insatiable Darkness is the prequel to The Vigilant series by L.M Preston. It is a novella length story- so it is a very quick and easy read. Having said that, I wished it was a little longer and that we got more character info and more in-depth details, as I felt like sometimes things seemed skirted over, too condensed, choppy/jumpy, and/or a bit rushed. That’s not to say that I wasn’t intrigued by the story, or that I didn’t enjoy the book- because I was, and did. But I just felt like I wanted more, and I was left with so many questions at the end. I am hoping that as this is the prequel in the series, and with this book setting us up for the story to continue, that we will get more answers/detail in the coming book/s. This is a YA fantasy with mystery, danger, investigation, the supernatural, mythology, and school/teen drama. It has a mysterious vibe that was quite intriguing, too. I liked EmVee and the potential that this prequel holds for the rest of the series- so I will certainly purchase the other books to see what the author has in store for us.

This is a really interesting young adult book. The book itself can be read in one sitting and I got that it is a prequel. The story really wets your appetite for what is to come and I can’t wait to see where this story will lead. The author does an amazing job with the characters. Our leading lady EmVee is a very strong willed and confident person and when she realises something isn’t right with the town they have moved to she doesn’t stop until she get answers. So begins a tale of mystery, secrets and paranormal occurrences which leave the read questioning everything and wanting more. As well as all this we have all the teenage angst as well with regards to emotions, relationships between friends and crushes and also learning who to trust and who not to.
This book is fast paced and gripped me from the first page. I can’t wait to see what the series has in store

This was an interestingly good ya book! I read it so quickly and now I’m going to read the others in the series and I’m so exited for that. It kept me hooked with all of the mysteries going on. EmVee was an amazing character, I just loved her spunk and charisma. The ending definitely had me wanting more and I’m glad I don’t have to wait to get it.

EmVee is a strong female character that is trying to find her place in the new town she and her family have moved into. Little does she know that it’s a town full of secrets and nothing is as it seems. Two boys like her but no one has time for attachments. With the help of her new BFF Racher, she works to discover the secret her father is hiding. Even being a young adult book, this book is a fascinating fantasy. I was pulled in from the start because she is the child of two professional fighters and is training to be a fighters. That is not something usually seen in teen girls. I love the different approach to the story. Strong female characters are a really nice thing to see. The plot line was flawless and had a really great plot twist. Silas was written in such a way that he felt creepy from the beginning. So pushy and had to be the top jock. Kayson felt like there was more to him, especially at the end. This was a terrific story that has me planning to read more of the series. This is a standalone but there is a series that goes with it.

Such a intriguing mystery, full of action, suspense, and everything I would hope to find in such a triller. Of course, the characters were all wonderful, and brought and added their own sense of personality and wonder to the story! I was hooked, and very much invested as I read.
The book was amazing with wonderful characters of different kinds that brought on very much wonder and triumph to the story, and the mystery that surrounded these characters really fascinated me. I was hooked the entire way through. I loved how the mystery held more than I first thought at first glance. Sometimes the obvious is not well, as obvious as it seems. I learned that one for sure from reading this book! I was hooked, amazing writing, and story line! So good from start to finish! Loved it!
Such an exceptional book full of its own magic! I was hooked and very much could not put it down! I loved it truly from start to finish! Amazing writing and author! Highly recommend this must read book!

EmVee didn’t know what to think about this new town her father’s passion for boxing lured them. It was an unlikely location for her to pursue her dream of going semi-pro. Just when she started getting used to the school with gorgeous jocks and strange cheerleaders, the depth of the danger her father’s choices dangled them in front of became clear. EmVee hoped Silas and Kayson will be able to help her uncover the mystery identity of the person who is threatening her family. The question is, will she survive to expose the mystery.

The Colors of Friendship is the first book in the Colors Trilogy by K.R. Raye. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Reye, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into this book. But, who could resist such a pretty cover, and the blurb did intrigue me- so I grabbed a copy and started to explore. What I found was a NA contemporary story with themes of friendship, romance, suspense, college life, challenges, lessons, emotion, and abuse. Some themes could be considered triggers by some readers- so be warned (abuse/ domestic violence). While the story is fairly interesting- I felt it was very slow to get going, and lagged and dragged a lot through the book. This made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story as I kept being ‘pulled out’ of the storyline. And because I wasn’t fully immersed in the story, I became easily distracted, which I think affected my ability to fully connect with the characters and invest in them and the outcome of their story. I really did want to love this book so much more than I did, but I as this is the author’s debut novel (she has written 2 more since then) and the first book in a trilogy, I will wait to read the other two books to see if the issues I had here were just a one-off thing or not, and where the story goes from here. Happy Reading!
