This book had me so fucking frustrated!!! I get what is going on here. There is so many indie books and ebooks out there that are all about white characters. On occasion you get someone ethnic but its often only half of some ethnicity other than white. This book is the opposite yet the same. It is the opposite in that it was all black characters. Yet the same in that the characters were all the same color. I have only read three authors with truly diverse characters: Claire Contreras, Latrivia Nelson, and a couple Kristen Ashley books. Latrivia Nelson's Dmitry's Closet being the most diverse. My world is a melting pot. I realize there are alot of white people out there who live in 100% crackerville, but I don't. My world is full of people of all shades. I was hoping this book would give me the urban edge I was looking for that other books lack. Yes, I knew all the music referenced unlike other books. Yes, I use alot of the slang in the book or I hear it regularly from my friends. But I was still disappointed for the lack of diversity.
From a literary standpoint I was also disappointed. One of the ways a character's personality is developed is through dialogue. Dialogue doesn't need to be grammatically correct. No one speaks like that. If you have read any of my other reviews, you know I can't stand authors who write dialogue without contractions. No one speaks without contractions. If I am not using contractions in my speech I am probably yelling at someone, otherwise Americans use contractions more often than not.
Tiffany's dialogue was fine. It created her character. What was not fine was that the narrative portions of the book were written in the same format as Tiffany's dialogue, and it was not in 1st person. In this manner, her dialogue no longer helped form her character. She had so much potential but I had trouble really getting in her head because I couldn't use her dialogue as a means of characterization. As well, there were parts of the narrative that were so fucking grammatically incorrect is was embarrassing. I realize that is how people talk. Yes, I say, "They best not be thinkin' they bout to get some of this." But do I want to read it? No. In dialogue, yes. But in the narrative portion, stuff like that only works when used in moderation or when writing in 1st person (and even then I would question it's excessive use).
I am going to take a risk in saying this, but fuck it. If I were black, I would be upset. It is obvious the book is using street slang but it seems as if because this is a book with all black characters, it's ok to have totally fucked up grammar. If I were black, which I am not so maybe I don't know shit, I would feel like "Do you think I can't read proper grammar? Do you think all black people talk like this?" It really frustrated me. Aside from that, there were typos and incorrect punctuation used throughout the book to add to the the list of annoyances.
Grrr... The story has alot of potential and it takes place in a world that really exists with characters that really could exist. Unfortunately, I didn't feel connected to the characters because of the fucked up writing. Oddly, the only character I even remotely connected with was Binx. The story lost its appeal because I was not living it with the characters. I was detached.

I always enjoy a good book, especially a URBAN FICTION THUG BOOK. This took my definition of gangsta to a whole different level. Good Read!

Teflon Mafia
So many twists & turns to the mafia life. Familia but who can you really trust? Hopefully the main couple Tiffany & Mallory will work this scheme out because they do belong together.

Drusilla and Alicia did a great job with this book. I can't wait to read part two and see how everything plays out for Tiffany and Messiah.

This is a good book. Tiffany and Messiah make Bonnie and Clyde look weak. Mallory gets on my nerves with her entitled self.
