Later is intriguing and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the characters come alive on the pages. The past history and the present history was fascinating. I would definitely recommend this book.Amazon reviewer, Leslie Coley

I find it rare that you read a book that the secondary characters give you just as much enjoyment and insight as the main characters, but Later shows that all voices work together to create something amazing. Well written with themes that are timely for us today, Later is the kind of literary read you'll savor all the way to the end.Amazon reviewer, Cyrus Web

I loved this book. There was action, Romance, history and more. It was so well written. The switch from the 1800s to the 2000s had me wanting to know what was about to happen next. I felt like I stepped into a movie.Amazon reviewer, ebonyl
