Enter a world where African mythology, ancient gods, mystery, and supernatural suspense collide in Melanie Jenkins: Diary of a Stalker, the unforgettable first book in The Vengeance and Redemption Series by LJ McLendon


Melanie Jenkins: Diary of a Stalker is a powerful blend of urban fantasy, African mythology, suspense, and soul-stirring sisterhood. At its center is Melanie Jenkins, a woman who appears ordinary on the surface but carries an extraordinary destiny she never asked for.
Chosen as the Deliverer of Souls, Melanie is called to reclaim the lost souls of the Orshia daughters—sacred spirits stolen to restore the strength of the ancient gods of chaos. As whispers from the Wall of the Orshia grow louder and the veil between realms begins to weaken, Melanie is thrust into a journey that demands courage, sacrifice, and the awakening of powers buried deep within her spirit.
But destiny is never simple.
As the warrior tied to her soul begins to awaken, old bonds stir, ancient memories return, and a love written across lifetimes threatens to reshape everything she thought she knew. With chaos rising in the forms of Eshu, Ogo, and darker forces waiting beyond the veil, Melanie must face battles both spiritual and personal.
Yet she does not walk alone.
At her side are her sister girls—June, Zena, and Angelina—women whose wisdom, humor, loyalty, and strength remind Melanie that even the chosen need community. Through laughter, truth, and unwavering love, they steady her beneath the crushing weight of prophecy and the fear of what is still to come.
