Reviews for The Conductor:
A vivid tale of magic and self-discovery...
Hardwick creates a first-rate blend of magic and grit in this second outing in The Circle series... Hardwick skillfully keeps various threads of the plot together, and as various subplots converge, the different backstories merge to form a highly satisfying and unified whole. The novel's real power lies in Hardwick's perceptive and sensitive portrayal of her characters: Soraya's struggles with her fears, self-doubts, and identity issues are sketched with credibility and understanding, making her a heroine the reader will love to root for... BY THEPRAIRIESBOOKREVIEW
The Conductor: Book Two of The Circle is an engaging, mesmerizing, and thrilling novel by Brenda Hardwick. Though it is the second book in this series, it stands on its own... The author knows how to engage the reader, and thus, the plot-construction is wonderful. The action begins from the first sentence of the book... The details are embedded so beautifully along with the story that one never feels bored while reading them. My favorite fact about the book is that it discusses the issue of racism. While reading, one would find that the author has highlighted this problem throughout the book... I would recommend it to people who love reading books with magic and mystery. ...Onlinebookclub.org --This text refers to the paperback edition.
Reviews for Harlem Angel:
"Hardwick’s (Laughing Your Life Healthy, 2017) thriller offers a chilling premise and memorable protagonists. The novel starts off on a strong note with a tense action sequence that effectively establishes a sense of danger and highlights Soraya’s special abilities. Hardwick ably maintains a quick pace as the story shifts from Soraya to Shawn as his plan unfolds. The major players are well-drawn: Soraya is a likeable heroine who tries to balance the responsibilities of her newly discovered abilities with caring for her mother, and the racist Shawn is a deeply unsympathetic but complex villain whose narrative arc takes some surprising turns." -- Kirkus Reviews

Harlem Angel 5* Review:
An entertaining fantasy ~
I just finished reading "Harlem Angel, Book One of The Circle" and I loved it. The story is compelling and pulls you into the book. I don't usually read fantasy but I find this book to be an entertaining mixture between fantasy and reality with current day themes as well as historical themes. The characters are very interesting and compelling so I want to learn more about them. The ending is a "cliff hanger" and I'm anticipating Book 2.

What a wonderful concept for restoring joy in our lives! I agree, laughter is a great start, if not the remedy to deal with the daily drama and difficulties in life.
