Kori Maitland leaves behind everything that matters to find herself. In her search she travels from the east coast to the Midwest to find the love of her life. At least, that’s what she believes. After moving across the country and a five year relationship with Layla Bradford, Kori is given a 30 day notice. Although Kori didn’t believe that Layla would leave, she does and Kori is left with the challenges of dealing with a broken heart, being left on the west coast, and permanent employment. As Kori struggles to get her life back together she realizes that Layla’s 30 day notice was not the first one she had ever received. Kori deals with all the notices as she looks over the past five years of the relationship. As she tries to mend her broken heart she travels back to the Midwest to find a job and to hopefully start a business. It isn’t until Kori gets back to the Midwest that the betrayal from old friends turns her world upside down. Kori finds herself faced with eviction, an accident, a cheating lover, and her past.
Can Kori find who she is without losing herself along the way? Or will she succumb to the trials in life without reaching her intended goal?

By Drea Lioness - See all my reviews This review is from: 30 Day Notice
One of the main reasons I enjoyed this piece of art was because, I truly identified with the character. It felt like real life. The reactions to the incidents that happen to Kori were authentic. She reflected what most women go through when faced with what they believe is love, but having all the signs in front of them that tells them to pump the brakes. Devastation and how we recover from that is what Kori taught me. Real and confirming is what 30 Day Notice was for me.

Kia Mann has a true gift, and I am so glad she decided to share it with the world!
30 Day Notice pulls you in starting at the prologue. Kori Maitland's story is riveting; sucking you in, keeping you turning pages, and making you forget whatever else you should be doing at the time(at least it did for me).
I'm glad to know that 30 Day Notice is just the first book in the Evection Chronicles, I can't wait for the next installment

“It Can Happen To You"
What a good and thought-provoking story. I found that I was questioning myself throughout the book: Am I living a lie? Am I living the life that I think I should? I love books that spark something in me causing me to dig deep. Like you, I too believe that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. A lesson is a lesson is a lesson. It’s all about what one does w/that lesson that matters. Kori just needed to sit herself still and be by her dang on self for a minute. & stop falling for them damn red bones…(I’m not bitter, really. I love being brown…LOL). After reading that, the nuggets I’m walking away with are: be grateful, be thankful, my situation may not be as bad as someone else’s, but it’s mine, confront your issues head-on – no matter how painful, trust yourself and have faith because GOD has a plan for you and it will manifest itself when you allow him to do so.

My Review after reading 30 DAY NOTICE (twice) I absolutely loved this book! It reminded me of the lyrics sung by Roberta Flack, "Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words". Yes! This book is written about a girl named "Kori" but I would swear I was reading parts of my own life. WELL DONE Kai, WELL DONE! I really love how Kori's life moves forward with ...moments of very colorful back tracks to her past, helping you understand who she was and who she is becoming. Wow! She is a strong black woman. Even in her stages of confusion and pain, she is strong. I know this strength. I cant help but love her charactor. Im pulled into her. Im on the edge of my seat wanting more. Page after page. I want more. I need to see how she weathers through each pitstop of her unpredictable life, that is obviously mapped out by a Higher Power. My faith is increased! I cried with her. I laughed with her. Heck, I wanted to stand with her and help her kick Jay's butt. (im just saying). But more than anything I love her endurance and willingness to Push through. I loved her sincere trust and belief in God. Her willingness to pray and her push to never give up on her dream. I agree with "Karen, Kori youre a King..... Im inspired to write again...... Great book!! "applauding and giving you a standing ovation, Kai"
