Publisher Description
The emotionally complex novels of Mary Monroe's God Don't series have won the New York Times best-selling author a multitude of devoted fans. In God Don't Play, trouble comes a woman's way just when she thinks she's finally got it all figured out. Annette Goode couldn't be happier with where she is in life. She has a good job, a comfortable home, and a wonderful husband and daughter. But tough times lie ahead. Out of the blue, Annette begins receiving anonymous hate mail and threatening phone calls. It seems her life isn't as settled as she thought, and demons from her past surface in unexpected ways. Now Annette is forced to question everything from her husband's faithfulness to her lifelong friendships. God Don't Play delivers the riveting drama that Monroe's fans have come to expect from novels such as God Don't Like Ugly. The story is powerfully told through the narration of acclaimed vocal artist Patricia Floyd. "Mary Monroe is a remarkable talent."-Chicago Sun-Times

" I'm done with this series. I'm not sure why I ever started reading it. The first book was pretty good, the second one was okay and this one was pretty terrible. 350 pages that could have been about 150 pages. The writing was pretty terrible at at times not cohesive and repetitive in several places. "

— Angela, 12/22/2013 -
" 2.5 stars. It was okay, way too predictable and went on way longer than it should. Was not surprised by the "twist" at all. In fact, all the signs were there from the beginning. Nobody just wanted to acknowledge them. "
— Tiara, 12/15/2013 -
" What a disappointing follow up to the first two books in the series. I absolutely loathed the change in Annette as a character. Also, if Annette would just SAY things, most of the events in this book wouldn't have happened. I was so irritated while reading! "

" I've read the 3 books before this one and 2 others that Maru Monroe wrote and I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others. You kind of get an idea of "who did it" but the second half of the book picks up. "

" Didnt really like the book this series is dragging now "
— Punkin, 4/1/2012 -
" This was a re-read to discuss at monthly book club meeting. It was long and boring, Child giver to much insight into the lives of adults. This is the 3rd book in the God series. "

" Characters: Annette Goode, Rhoda and Jade "
— Anna, 2/12/2011 -
" Really didn't like this one. Too much negative things going on. I hated the way she was always referred to as being big and black. Who really wear house clothes to work when you are in a management position. Rhoda was too smart in the other books not to see how bad her daughter was. "
— Eddie, 9/2/2010 -
