Morosis: Lennox's Hard Knocks

Mum's The Word #5

by Laikyn Meng

All Mum's The Word Books can be read as Standalones.

◆I wasn't from the wrong side of the tracks. It was because of me that there was a wrong side.◆

My children may have respected our name, held it with pride. But without me, there would be no name that deserved protection.

Fifteen years old, without a home, Rebecca Townsend decided to save me. Her family took me in, a white trash boy without two nickels to rub together. Even when they found out I got her pregnant, they still claimed me to be one of their own.

But, too soon did my pride get in the way of what mattered. I started selling and stealing to buy diapers for my baby girl. My best friends from childhood were all too eager to show me the ropes. Issy, Damian, and Patch, we knew what it took to make ends meet. We never had enough, not when you came from nothing; being satisfied wasn't an emotion we could ever accomplish.

Now, most of the people I loved were buried deep beneath the cursed soil.

Rebecca laid down one day, Leonie, in her arms and faded from our lives. Damian got a few bullets to the chest, walking home from the grocery store. Then Luna, the spark of strange that created an angel steamrolled by a truck.

Well, we all die someday, mine hasn't come yet. I may have failed the ones who fell victim to life's cruel lessons. But I was about to avenge every wrongdoing. Karma was going to learn some strategies from the king.

[KayCee K · Rating 5 out of 5]

Morosis is a surprising read for me I didn’t know we were going to get a book from a parent's point of view, and I was surprised by how much I liked it. This is my second favorite book in this series. I liked seeing how he became this kind of man. I do have to say in the first book I wasn’t a fan Knox then something happened in the second book that made me look at this character in a different light. I like how this book is plotted. I like how we got to see events that we already know about from his point but we also get a lot of new stuff we haven’t see or learned about yet. I like that we leave the small town and then it leads to character self-discovery. There is also a new relationship in the book that weaved its way through this book and I am hoping that in future books we get more of that relationship! Morosis is one of the best books in this series, I like that we got to learn so much about this character, we saw new sides of him and there is so much drama and I enjoyed every crazy moment. This book is well balanced from dark edgy to heartwarming scenes, characters you root for, and moments that shattered them, it’s a wild ride worth giving a shot!
