Psychologically intriguing and thrilling!By MonCherie
Pious is a uniquely engaging kindle book that stirs deeply placed perceptions and values about criminal behavior and the psychological precedents that lead people to harm others. The storyline pulses like a steady wave, retreating only slightly to further entice and develop complex relationships, skeletons in the closet, and well thought out characters. The ending pages will have you oblivious to the world around you. As a person who has worked with reformed criminals and a psychology grad student, I am not only impressed by the depth in which the criminal characters are developed but also the exploration of the complex and human side of the criminal psyche, power-dynamic conflicts, and submerged emotions. In closing, Carpious Mightson is incredibly realistic and embodies layers that all of us can relate to, or contemplate, on some level. Great job, Kenn Bivins and I can't wait for your next literary gift (I'm saving the 5th star for that kindle book)!

A Story of RedemptionBy James Tomasino
Pious is a kindle book about forgiveness. Throughout the story, we see so many different things that mask themselves as peace and forgiveness, but this isn't a kindle book that lets you walk away thinking redemption is all niceties. In fact, if I had to summarize the story in a sentence, I'd say Pious is a kindle book that teaches us that forgiveness is not about forgetting sins, but about accepting them, living with the consequences, and slowly building a bridge across the chasm that those sins create.
I applaud Mr. Bivins' first foray into novel writing. The characters pop, the message is clear, the dialogue is quite intense at times, and the kindle book leaves you thinking about what happened for days afterward.

PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A THRILLING RIDE FILLED WITH SUSPICIONBy Tanisha Rankins
ARE WE REALLY WHO WE APPEAR TO BE? That's the immediate question you'll be forced to ask yourself after reading, Pious, the novel written by author, Kenn Bivins. Well, at least that's what I asked myself.
The story is about Carpious Mightson, a former convicted felon, who's paid his debt to society and starts life fresh. He has a great job, a loving girlfriend, and the respect of the people in his community. But his past catches up to him, when a registered sex offender moves into the neighborhood and the neighbors delegate Carpious to convince the sex offender to move out.
Wow, I almost wish this kindle book were a movie, because it certainly reads as such. But it has all the components of a great movie for both women and men. While there is much action and suspense, it's so much deeper than that. The dynamic of the relationships within the kindle book, peels back so many layers of the characters. And the icing on the cake is that despite the heavy scenes of anticipation and movement, there's one component that I didn't expect to be met with....romance and true love.
This kindle book has it all! And in exquisite detail. By the end of the kindle book, so many emotions were evoked within me and I was moved to tears. How many of us, go through our lives trying to right the wrongs and re-create greatness out of the griefs we once beared and may actually still be bearing? How many of us are so bound up in our past, that we constantly challenge the good things that come our way and are indeed meant for us? Can we ever truly forgive each other? And moreso, can and are we ever fully able to forgive ourselves?
I hear of so many professionals who proclaim their resiliency happens, DESPITE, their obstacles. While I choose to believe that I'm stronger because of them! Pious makes you look at these questions and affirmations in a powerful and amazing way!
Lastly, one of the most noticeable things about this kindle book is that there are no evident color lines to cross. And because of this, it definitely could be made into a movie, where actors of any ethnicity could audition for the parts. It's rare to read material today that isn't heavily stereotypically written in a way that you truly can't envision the characters being but one specific race. This author does a great job of writing the characters where their personalities are deeply shown, as opposed to their skin color.
If there were one thing that I could criticize about the kindle book is that maybe some of the smallest seemingly insignificant, things were described in full detail. But it's clear that the author wanted to be certain you read his masterpiece, as he intended for you to. And honestly, I think I understood a great deal of the message. And a wonderful message it was....Get out of your own way!!!
Great job, Mr. Bivins. Your message is loud and clear in this one!
