Darwin is an orphan, who lived with his aunt in Pittsburgh. He joins his cousin, Luther (a rich and famous footballer) in New York, following his aunt’s illness. Darwin’s new guardian, Luther, is a piece of work. His hostile behavior draws people away from him, including his family members. Will he care for Darwin’s education, career and physical needs? Darwin is intelligent and has exceptional work ethics. It’s Darwin’s dream to join a private school and become a Doctor. Will Darwin achieve his goal? If yes, how?

The story highlights aspects like deceit, drama, career, athletics, family, education, abduction, relationships and legal development. The relationships featured in the story are quite interesting. They are dramatic and keeps fluctuating. Furthermore, the effects that divided families have on the members and the flaws present in the education system are vividly explained.

I enjoyed reading the book Guardian of Deceit by William H. Coles. For a moment, I thought I was watching a movie. The author knows how to grip the reader’s attention. The book is fast-paced, full of drama, has notable plot twists and fragments of emotions. The narrative is written in the first and third-person perspective. The switching from first to the third-person narrative isn’t confusing. Moreover, the book is exceptionally edited. The plot and the characters are diligently developed. The author has an incredible imaginative ability. Ultimately, the language used is pure.

The volume has four parts. Part one and two take the reader through Darwin’s fight to gain access to his inheritance. Part three highlights Darwin’s educational, social and career life. Finally, part four narrates about an abduction.

What I like about the story is that it intrigues the reader’s emotions in a good way. Furthermore, I enjoyed an array of vocabulary that I intend to apply.

The story is gripping, captivating, and suspenseful. I didn’t find anything to dislike. The three books that I’ve read, written by the author, none have disappointed my expectations. I’m looking forward to reading the remaining books.

I learned that a point in time we might have doubts about our careers. Also, fame changes people’s image and personality and can affect the way people treat you. And that it takes effort and commitment to build and maintain relationships

I award the book a 4 out of 4 stars. The writing is of high-quality. Remarkably, the author gifted the readers with quality and engaging story.

Readers who love drama and a sprinkle of romance in their stories will enjoy reading the book.

I have read few of this author's books, and I get that his main theme is people and their relationships. Seemingly this one is not an exception too. Nice review 👍👍

The plot seems amazing and I am excited to see where the story goes. I need to read it ASAP. Thanks for your review, Nerea. I for one believe that you are one of the best members here. Continue with your good work. :tiphat:
Heart! We will forget him!
You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!

This author does tend to do some interesting things, doesn't he? Darwin's journey seems like quite an undertaking, even without the added stress of Luther's "care". Thanks for the review!

I tend not to read books in the genre Cole writes, but every review I see of his books is generally glowing. It sounds like he's an amazing author, and that this is another great entry into his catalog of books.
