"Many people with mental illness suffer alone, trapped inside their own minds while being held hostage by forces they don’t know!” Mental illness is a serious issue that requires effective treatment and adequate support for those affected! Mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and D.I.D. (Dissociative Identity Disorder) can hinder the value of life for all if affects. These disorders know no age, gender or race boundaries so anyone can be affected by them! Bianca Fulton found that out the hard way at a very young age. As she grew older her manic episodes and multiple personalities led to various obstacles in her life. This is her story... her misery, her turmoil, and her pain. This is the story of how what was supposed to be a tragic ending turned into a beautifully, devious beginning for Bianca Fulton. This is a complex story that shows how she felt like a captive in her own mind...trapped until she found the calming chaos she needed.... this is MANIC!
Bianca's unstable mental status made her a danger to herself and anyone around. This was an interesting look at personality disorders and good connection to known character in previous book. Looking forward to next part
I'm going to start this off by saying that I can relate to some parts of this story. Niki spoke nothing but the truth when it comes down to a lot of African Americans especially our elders don't believe mental illness is real. I can't wait to read the next book. In the mean time I'm going to read the other books that go with this story.
Title: Manic Author: Niki Jilvontae Publisher: N. J. Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Rating: Four Review: "Manic" by Niki Jilvontae
My Opinion:
Wow, what a story that will grab your attention. This story was the continuance after 'Jeremiah 2.' This girl Bianca really had some mental health problems that will leave one wondering if she was a 'pure genius or just pure crazy.' [Kammy, Tabitha, & Anesha = Bianca] The killing at the end got me... slaughtering the entire family, and it seems like Dr. Swanson is dedicated to believing she will be able to help Bianca. My point is will this Doctor be able to help this person will multiple personalities mental health issues? With all of the twists and turns, what more will this author have for us? And now it seems like Jeremiah is back, and I can see some of this connection... as they sing together...'This little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine.' ...oh boy, what will be coming next in this author's next tale of 'State Property?'
Alright Bianca and the Silent Killer are connected! I hoped this was the case from the beginning when Bianca would hum Jeremiah's song, "This Little Light of Mine" to quiet the voices in her head. This time, I'm rooting for the killers as they intrigue me in more ways than one.
Thank you for using womb properly! I was truly overjoyed after reading wound for so long much to my dismay!! I'm going to play catch up and read On the Run since that's the only book in this series I haven't read. I see a weekend lockdown with no phone, lots of snacks and rich wine in my future once the finales drop!! Great work Niki!
This has become my favorite book. Bianca reminds me of myself. Kammy was crazy and Anesha is my girl. I can't believe she met with that crazy man. Niki is the female version of Stephen King. Her books have u on the edge of ur seat. Can't wait to see what's gonna happen with Bianca.
Mental health is no joke and the breakdown in this installment was something else!!! Another banger for sure literally read this in one sitting a page turned for sure!!! Keep writing these amazing books ...Niki you've done it again!! Can't wait for the next one
Loved it! I can’t wait til part 2! It’s amazing the way the mind works! All that time she thought she did things she’s never done! I thought the Dr was gonna be knocked off 😂😂😂
Just when I thought Jeremiah was a killer, well looky here. This was a great read from start to finish. The way the majority of African Americans treat mental disorders was spot on. Can't wait to read the rest. You've done it again Niki 🔥
Can crazy cancel itself out? I can't be!I've the turn of events with this one, please come on with the next part! This was a good read and can't wait for the next one!
BIANCA NEVER STOOD A CHANCE AGAINST KAMMY AND THAT'S XTRA SCARY.. IT'S NEAT HOW ALL THE BOOKS GONNA TIE IN TOGETHER BUT I'M SCARED OF JEREMIAH 🤣 SO I'LL BE READING AROUND HIM...
This book was good we got a little back story on Bianca and her life which I was waiting for in this series. This was a short read but very good and makes your head spin
