Review of Lufe
Uzma Sandhu wrote a fictional novel titled Lufe. The old English word “lufe,” a spelling variation of “lufu,” implies love. It is written from Erhrziel's and Nina's, his first child's, perspective. Erhrziel Lighthaven, a demon, and Adam Vaughn, his angelic guardian, are in love in this tale. Erhrziel (pronounced air-zee-el) is a young man in his thirties with wings and the power of pyrokinesis as a result of his demon nature. Nina, Diane, Uriel, and Gabriel, who are identical twins, are his four offspring from different moms. The twins Uriel and Gabriel, who were born to different mothers, have calokinesis, whereas Nina and Diane, who were born to different mothers, are telekinetic.
Due to the nature of his work, Erhrziel has been apart from his family for more than ten years. Since being seized by the Illuminati, a shadowy group, he has been employed as a murderous weapon. While their family is being used to intimidate them into staying, he and Adam are assigned to a different mission. Erhrziel has an unorganized love life. He had previously divorced Nina's mother, Melody; the mother of the twins is his soulmate, and while being held captive, he learned he is related to Adam by blood, which sets their bond apart from all others. However, Nina has never gotten along with her mother and believes that she despises her. Who or what is to blame? The Illuminati are a threat, and Erhrziel and Adam are plotting to flee. Success or failure? How secure will the lives of their families be? How will Melody react to having to share her soulmate with a man?
This book really is a roller coaster, with unexpected turns in the plot. The author's originality is to be commended. Amazing plot this is, I must say. The book's cover initially drew me in, so I picked it up. A picture of two men hugging while covered by wings is on it. I decided to read this book with an open mind, even though there is a same-sex relationship in it. Future readers shouldn't be alarmed because, while taking up a part of the narrative, this isn't the story's main focus. The way Mr. Uzma writes is appealing. Even though this is the second book in a series, the reader won't have any trouble following along because it is so clear. I enjoyed attempting to comprehend Erhrziel's past and relationships. A reader might initially become perplexed, but after one or two chapters, everything becomes evident.
Likewise, I appreciate how the author described their telepathic interactions. They were written in brackets, while each character's inner thoughts were in italics. It makes it simple to tell which is which. I really admire how well-developed the relationships among Erhrziel's children are in this narrative. One cannot tell that they are from separate moms. They treat one another with the same respect. Diane and Nina could not be separated, despite Nina's mother's best efforts. They resemble twins more than sisters. Even the mothers of the twins and Diane get along well. Erhrziel is my favorite character. Despite being so far away from his children, I respect how he tries to be there for them through their telepathic conversations. He never stops conveying warm and kind feelings.
There are a couple of aspects of this story that I don't enjoy. Nina's persona comes first. She is quite lovable, though. The way she was so pushy bothered me. She was always curious about everything, especially adult topics, which I don't think she should have been interested in. Another element is how the author expressed their ideas, down to the smallest detail that a reader can infer. Additionally, I think some scenarios are conceivable, which makes me worry about how likely they are. How was it feasible, for instance, for Balfor to still be able to drive after having his left eye removed? Lufe ended up in a suspense. I’m really curious to know what happens next in the third installment. That’s how interesting this novel is.
I still give this 5 out of 5 stars despite these factors. It was well done by the author. Additionally, Mr. Uzma warned his audience about potential spoilers for the story. I am unable to criticize the novel because of this. There are explicit sexual scenes, a lot of foul language, and gory events. Therefore, you should avoid this narrative if you don't like it. This fiction story enthusiast has my recommendation. This is a suitable option if you're okay with having a same-sex relationship. It's still been professionally edited, although I did find a few mistakes.
