Jungle Beauty Goddess – Book 3 – Dirty Ball is a continuation of the saga of the seven sisters, daughters of the creator of the Universe, who are tasked with creating and nurturing a blue planet in the far-flung reaches of the Universe – Earth. Author Cassandra George Sturges has created a cast of characters that seek to give a different slant on the creation of the Universe, the galaxies, the planets, and the sentient beings on them. In Dirty Ball we follow the machinations of the sister Afar, who after creating the first higher order being on earth – Mada, falls hopelessly in love with her creation, in direct contravention of the Sister’s oaths and their father’s rules. When Mada’s future mate comes into being, a woman called Sumeria, Afar’s jealousy knows no bounds. Humanity’s future is hanging by a thread and controlled by a Goddess whose sanity and good judgement must be severely questioned. What ensues is a complex tale that seeks, in some way, to explain both the human condition and the current state of our planet.
Despite having not read the first book in this series, I had read the second and although excited by the premise and carried away by some of the author’s clever imagery, I was left with the feeling that still more could be achieved in this concept. In Jungle Beauty Goddess – Book 3 – Dirty Ball, author Cassandra George Sturges does exactly that – moves the story to a new, exciting level. One of the true joys of being a professional reviewer is watching an author grow and mature over time and in this tale, I was duly rewarded. I felt the mixture of myths, fantasies and original thought achieved a new imagination high and I thoroughly enjoyed the read. The tale is not finished, though and I do look for more excitement in the future. What stood out for me the most in this book was the uncanny corollaries the author was able to draw between her fantastical story and the current human and earth condition. I loved the spiritual side of the story and the deep thought that clearly went into some of the passages. The passionate, sex scenes, although few, were beautifully handled and never crossed over that line of decency, into crudity. All in all, this was an excellent read and one I can highly recommend. I now await book four, with bated breath.
