Trouble: A World of My Own
You’re playing with fire girl… Can't you see that boy is dangerous? Stay away from him Angel, or mark my words you're gonna find yourself in a world of trouble...
Socially awkward teenager Angel Jenkins is trying her best to fit in. Living in the ghetto with her overly religious grandmother, Angel longs for a day she doesn't have to live hand to mouth. She has books smarts and a promising future but that's not enough. Angel desires a more glamorous lifestyle filled with designer threads, fast cars and money to spare. Her thirst for the fast life lands her in the arms of neighborhood bad boy Trouble Diamond.
Trouble Diamond is on a mission. After spending the last seven years of his life locked behind bars, Trouble will stop at nothing to settle old scores and take down those who he feels have done him wrong. Along the way he meets Angel, a shy timid girl with a heart of gold. He is attracted to Angel’s intelligence and green demeanor. Angel is loyal to him but Trouble’s loyalty comes with sacrifices. On his quest to take over the city, Trouble is willing to cross all lines and take down anyone who gets in his way… including Angel.

Little Girl Lost
I selected this book after reading the author's '1955'. It was soooo good, I had to read another one of her works. In the beginning, I almost put it down thinking 'another one of those dope boy reads'. Man, was I wrong and I'm so glad I kept reading. What a spin Ms Crum put on this book. Angel just wanted to be like her cousin - fly and popular. She immediately fell for Trouble, and with her innocence, it didn't take a whole lot of persuasion to reel her into a world she had no business being in. Little by little, she's in so deep she no longer knows right from wrong. She thinks she's living her best life, but Grams (her grandmother) had forewarned her, yet she dismissed her as one of those naysayers. I couldn't believe how she turned on her Grams! Yeah, she dug that hole she was warned about. I hope this book is a lesson for young ladies out there looking for love and ghetto fame; it ain't what it looks like and you want no parts of that. Great read; download it now.

Trouble
Ooommmggg my mouth is still hanging open from disbelieve, that ending was everything unexpected and surprising. These authors did their thing with this one. I don't wanna give up any spoilers but I will say this is definitely a must read that you don't wanna sleep on

Trouble!
The story over all wasn't bad. The character development and the plot where a lil predictable but loved the twist at the end.
Both these authors have deep talent and encourage them to keep writing and don't be afraid to show depth in your writing! Good job!

It took me a minute to get into it but once I did, it turned out to be a good read. Easy to follow, no over the top dramatics and very few errors
