Mo' Money, Mo' Problems,
Cha Ching depicts the life of young Storm Williams. Much like her name, Storm has been through some very turbulent, violent and devastating times. When it rains, it pours. First, she is abandoned by her mother, only to be subjected to mental and sexual abuse at the hands of her caregivers. Determined to play the cruel hand life dealt her, Storm hones her hustling skills as a way up the monetary ladder and to better her life. Despite her success, she can't escape her past or the problems that come with having money.
Cha Ching was a very quick and easy read. I was looking for more about her hustle, particularly with a title like Cha Ching. The topic of her credit card scam was addressed at minimum. I was left with many questions. How did Storm get into the credit card hustle to begin with? I wanted background on Black, Pam and Taj. All were interesting characters. How did Storm meet them, Pam specifically? At only 181 pages, I felt that areas such as these could have been expounded upon making for a more complete read. This was my first read by Ms. Blount and I believe I'll read another of her novels.

Life Sentence of Pain
Storm Williams is caught up in a steady downpour that just so happens to be her existence. Neglected and distressed about her survival, Storm is forced into a tornado too bumpy for adults let alone a child.
The blizzard that seemed to curse Storm has passed, she is now apart of the elite. Living imperially, Storm not only possesses money, power and respect, but she has a GENUINE MAN, who loves her, even though she's somewhat distrustful.
While Storm is busy forecasting a plan for happily ever after, gluttony, resentment and hatred are closing in on her. Removed from God and His plans, can Storm weather what's to come?
Tonya Blount is unquestionably a seasoned author, whose talent envelopes readers into the world she's writing about. CHA CHING: CHARGE IT TO THE GAME is a quick read that is blessed in love, forgiveness and hope despite the past.
Ask yourself, can you stand the rain?

Surviving
Storm's mother left home one day, only never to return. Forced to leave the only home that she knew, Storm moved in with Aunt Hope, who originally had good intentions. It's Funny how the devil has many disguises. Despite the torment, Storm was determined and motivated to prosper without ever having to be poor, hungry or dependent on anyone else ever again.
Thanks to Storm's exceptional skill, she was able to escape her depraved childhood. Drawing from the love and strength of Miss LT, a homeless woman, who always enlightened Storm with her wisdom and beliefs and her boyfriend, Taj, Storm is finally happier than she's ever been.
Will past demons hinder Storm from moving forward? Has her incessant nature blinded her to what lies ahead?
Cha-Ching is a quick and weighty read that I highly recommend! Kudos to author Tonya Blount.
