PULSE by bjon Agera is a highly interesting modern day novel and it is highly enjoyable. While reading this story I was deeply attracted to the content from the first page to the last. I was provided with a copy of this book and I enjoyed reading this book in my leisure time. This story is combined with the touch of romance and mystery and it provides a lifeworthy message to its reader as well.

Having met in a chat on an online dating site Doty and Francis arrange a date in a hotel room. Francis starts loving her from the first sight. As Doty says him to cut the crap and end the relationship he plays a blackmail trick on her for fifty thousand dollars disguising himself. Doty tries to bargain and she wants to reveal true identity of 'The Eye'-the man on the Agra phone.

This is an interesting story which provides a message to the reader and makes him act wise in doing online dating stuff. I highly recommend you to read this. Both the youngsters and adults are going to enjoy this.

Count My Money
by bjon Agera
Before I begin my review I’d just like to say I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable this read was. 

Count My Money by Bjon Agera is a 138-paged story that begins with our adorably ignorant chicken chef, Green McDonald. Green makes chicken soup for the people in his local neighborhood in Nashville, Tennessee, and business is booming. As people taste his chicken concoctions, they want more and more. We find out early that Green lost his wife and daughter in the tragic attack on 9/11, and he knows absolutely nothing about handling his finances. At a 9/11 memorial, he meets Dennis: who shares the similarity of having lost two people she loved on 9/11. They bond quickly, and over time their relationship flourishes. Green teaches Dennis about his chicken business, and Dennis shows Green how to keep his growing money in check at the bank. Two and a half years later, Green’s chicken business is one of the most successful in the country and after a lengthy break; his and Dennis’ relationship is at its peak. The first time they made love, well over two years ago, was on top of Green’s loose and unkempt stack of money. Now, they wish to duplicate this occurrence, except on top of 20-million dollars, cash.

Green arranges for the money to be sent to his 6-bedroom villa in the middle of a vegetated area secluded from other human life, so he and Dennis can “ count his money”. This leads to an insane mission to get the money to Green, from the United Bank of America. However, for hired thieves, Angel and Greg, they intend to take matters into their own hands. Adolf Gregor is blackmailed into intercepting this money, while Chief of Internal Security at the United Bank of America, Johnnie, who’s also an ex-FBI Agent, will do anything to stop him. Count My Money is a simple, enjoyable story of money, action, and chicken.

Growing up in the American Education system, I remember reading tons of short stories in oversized textbooks. These stories were usually written by authors of cultures that varied from one another, in order to educate us on new customs from all over the world. These stories were very easy to read, and Agera’s short story gave me a similar, nostalgic feel. For the record, I’ve never read an e-book before, and I was worried that this story wouldn’t captivate me enough to stay focused on the book and off of social media. Oh boy, was I wrong.
 



Although short in length, I finished this book in two sittings. The grumpy, simple-mindedness of Green made me want more and more dialogue from his character. I enjoyed how the book transitioned from a story that dealt with a man and his lover pursuing a risky rendezvous attempting to make love on top of money, to a mission involving ex-FBI agents and armed battle. It felt as if I was reading a romantic-comedy and an action thriller intertwined.
 

This book is short, sweet, and a simple read. The only fault I had with this book was that I wished we saw a more in depth look at the relationship between Dennis and Green. Their love affair drew me in, and I would have loved to see the dynamic of their relationship magnified as the story progressed.

I
 rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. I look forward to reading more of Bjon Agera in the near future.
