The Cartel 2 - by Ashley and Jaquavis

First let me say that the last 1 1/2 pages of the book really shocked me . . . and i'm not sure if it was in a good or bad way.
Having said that, I also have to say that Ashley and Jaquavis really put it down! This is definitely one of the best sequels I've seen in long time, and I'm thrilled that Cartel is actually being turned into a series!

Cartel 2 finally gives us the background on Miramor, the dark heroine of the first book. We all kno that Miramor is a member of the Murder Mamas, and now we kno how and why she became an assasin, and how the Murder Mamas started.

Thanks to the this book, Miramor becomes an even more sympathetic character, as we learn about her childhood, and understand fully the bond between her and her sister, Anisa. And the bittersweet romance between Zyir and Breeze becomes even more bittersweet!

And for those who loved Carter, well . . . let me say that a nu male character has been introduced in this book that we females are also going to fall in love with. And older characters step up their game even more.

Ashley and Jaquavis do an EXCELLENT job of giving us extensive background on the charaters, but at the same time moving the story forward. It's wonderful when a writer can give character development without it getting in the way of the plot, and Ashley and Jaquavis are indeed masters.

I also like the fact that they incorporated different locales in this book. . . New York, Miami, Jamaica. It makes it easy for readers from different parts of the country to easily relate to what's going on.

Have I alreay said I can't wait for Cartel 3? My only disappointment is I'll have to wait so long. It's not due to come out until June.

AAAAgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review written by Shay

Alibi - by Teri Woods

I loved True to the Game, but can't say that I loved most of Teri's other books, but I always kept reading in hopes of another urban classic. Alibi is not it.
Alibi tells the story of Daisy Fothergill, a poorly paid stripper who is trying to support her mother, but always seems to fall short. When her sometime boyfriend, offers her cash to supply an alibi for a murder suspect, Daisy jumps at the chance to make a quick couple of grands.

But the lie she tells on the murder suspects behalf quickly becomes a series of lies that need to be told, and bodies start multiplying with each new lie.

Alibi is a quick read, but even with all the drama Ms. Wood supplies, the story just never becomes interesting. And some of the things in the story just don't make sense. For instance, there's more than 10 pages used to give back story on Daisy's mother that just weren't needed, and slowed down the story dreadfully. And then when Daisy makes a trip to Mursfreesboro Ms. Woods portrays the town as a backwards place caught in some kind of time warp. I've been to Mursfreesboro, it's a small town, but no where near as backwards as its portrayed in this book.

And the writing in the book was below average. I would rate this book 2 1/2 stars out of five.

Welcome to the newest hangout of people who love to read urban (or street!) lit! This is the spot for all to discuss urban and urban erotica books, and for readers to hook up with their favorite authors: Find out when their books are coming out, where they'll be appearing, and to invite them to invite your own book club events.

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Shay, I'm 21, an HBCU student, and author of the bestselling novel, Raw: An Erotic Street Tale, and the upcoming novels "Licks" and "Too Raw," and I'm the creator and administrator of the Real Urban Fans network.

I started this network for urban lit fans, and while that includes urban lit authors like me, I want this site to be reader driven, not author driven. In other words, this site WILL NOT be bombarded with blog posts from authors promoting their books. Author promotion day will be Thursdays, and they can post two blogs on that day . . . and that is it. Authors are also welcome to post an additional two posts per week about their books on a message board designed specifically for that purpose. The message board is entitled "Tell us about YOUR book!"

I'm hoping the rest of the blogs will be from readers, commenting on books they've read, books they want to read, their own attempts at writing books, or anything else they want. Authors are also encouraged to blog throughout the week, just not about their own books. And authors, as an encouragement to blog, please feel free to add a jpeg of your book at the end of your blog. But again, authors.....keep in mind this is a fan driven network. Don't overpopulate this network with your own blogs...it will only drive your fanbase away.

With that being said . . . Welcome All! I hope everyone has a GREAT time!

Shay
