Andrew Banks is hired by sixteen-year-old Mercedes Vega to figure out what's
dividing her parents. As soon as he meets the rest of the Vega family he
realizes that the situation is only one step away from becoming dire. He puts
the safety of the family over everything else until the case hits much too
close to home. It becomes a race against a wealthy restaurant owner that
ultimately becomes deadly.
MY REVIEW
I
believe Divided Within is an impressive debut novel. Clearly John Guillen is a
talented writer and is knowledgeable about the subject matter he is writing
about. I don’t want to spoil anything, but I will say that it is a great mix of
mystery and action.
The
protagonist, Andrew Banks is extremely confident in himself. It seemed when I
was growing tired of his constant perfection, Guillen showed us an emotional
side of Banks and that helped me come around to the character.
I
applaud the author for a job well done. Divided Within contains quality
writing, and an adventurous story. I am eagerly awaiting John Guillen’s next novel.
AUTHOR BIO
John Guillen has had a love of
books for as long as he can remember. As a grade school student he would browse
the tables of the semi-annual book fairs at his school and convince his parents
to buy as many books as he could. This passion would reemerge years later as a
high school teen. He'd read books by the best crime authors of the day long
before completing the required school work.
John knew early on in college
that he wanted to become a writer and immediately began work on his debut
novel, Divided Within, less than two weeks after graduating from the University
of Houston Downtown in May 2013.
When he's not writing or
reading a new novel, he enjoys listening to country music and staying up to
date on current news stories.
