In Cleanup Woman 2 crazy Karma is back and will do anything to get her man. Karma is determined to get what she wants and she don't care who she has to hurt.

Karma Jolley has done it again, that's right all your favorite characters are back along with some new ones. When we last heard about karma she was spending time in a psych ward after giving birth to a little girl ,so now all she wants to do is escape and find her baby girl plus Cole and start living as a family. But a couple of things are still in her way, one being those damn hospital walls and second Coles new wife Audrie. Getting out of the hospital was easy she just set fire to it like she did her house so very long ago with her parents in it. The second Ms. Audrie was a little more difficult to handle she would not give Cole up without a fight, good thing Karma has a lot of fight in her. This story picked up right where it left off at in part one I liked the way the author was able to bring the two stories together and stick to the original story line while doing so. Sometimes it can be very hard trying to outdo what you created in part one but I give this author thumbs up she did a very swell job. Some parts where a little over the top but Hey! I still think Cole could have stepped up more and made smarter decisions he was always being somewhere he was not suppose to be there for getting caught up in stickey situations. Audrie really surprised me in this installment she turned out to be the strong black woman I knew she could be she was not playing when she said that she will not continue to live in fear. The end is a real shocker therefore I will not give it away. The story line was great but had some parts that were just a little predictable to me. The plot was strong and the character development has progressed really nicely in this second installment . I also enjoyed the new characters the author brought to the book she did a good job of introducing them to us. So that about wraps up this review but you already know before I go what time it is...... That's right baby Q&A.
How would I rate this book on a scale of 1-10?
This was a great read that held my interest I give it a 7
How does this book compare to part one?

Would I recommend this book to my readers?

Part 2 starts right where Part 1 ended. Colbys life is finally back in order after discovering the truth behind what happened to his wife and the reason of her death. Having to deal with her death while raising two children is still what Colby is doing only now he was remarried and has a wife to help him with his responsibilities. While Karma Jolley his crazed stalker is locked away for a very long time Colby feels like he and his family are finally free from the Karma drama. Audrie believes that Karma will always be around and that if she was in the nut house once before and was released then what makes this time any different. While Colby tries to get her not to worry they receieve shocking news which can turn their world and marriage upside down. With Karma nothing can keep her locked down and with Colby and revenge on her mind she does everything in her power to free herself from her new home. How far is Karma willing to go and will she destroy everything and anyone in her way?

This was a really good read. After I read part 1 I knew I needed to read part 2 to see what was going to happen and what Ms. Karma was going to do next. Colby I think is still very naive, I mean after what Karma put him through I think he should have packed the family up and moved them very far from where they were and that area. I think he really thought that if Karma was going to be behind bars that she would be there and he would be good but Karma has never been playing with a full deck at all. In this book she is just as crazy if not a little more she does more and she is just really psycho she just doesnt get that her and Colby never were a couple and that he doesnt love her. I dont want to give to much away but really good read!

This book is SUPER juicy. I'm just loving how Karma just do not give a shnicks about anything. Not that I'm loving what she's doing because she's straight grimy but how this book makes you just want to keep reading more and more and more. Karma is flat out crazy and it's unreal how she has not gotten caught yet. Cole, I've cursed him out a couple of times but all in all he is a good man. Karma is just so unreal...wow. Some of her actions were predictable in the book but it didn't matter, it still was so juicy, you just wanted to know her every move and how she was going to get away with her antics. I soooo can't wait to read part 3. Thank you Alisha for such a page turner.

While The CleanUp Woman 2 wasn't as good a one, it wasn't disappointing. I think Alisha did an excellent job with the character Karma she was truly a crazy deranged individual. Colby was such a wimp, why he kept falling for Karma's tactics is unbeknown to me. If you like drama mixed with a little romance and suspense this is good read, however make sure you read part 1 first.
