Book Review: Revenge or avenged...
Summary: 3 Stars
Lisa Lennox brings us up to par with Julacia 'Laci' Johnson only six weeks after her involuntary, horrific experience of being strung out on crack cocaine. She and her savior, Darryl 'Dink' Highsmith have enrolled in college in an effort to escape their drug-infested past. Laci is still struggling with her demons while finding herself thrust into an empowering venture in an attempt to regain her self-esteem and further her education. The college life proves to be a challenge as Laci must face her fear of interaction with her peers as well as learning to trust people again. The pain she endured because of jealous people haunts her as she muses what she could have did differently or why they hated her so much.
Dink has retired from `the game' and passed the baton to his young protégé, Smurf, who's adjusting to his new position and the wealth that comes with it. Smurf wants to change his mother's way of life, but has to deal with the realization that the more things change, the more they remain the same. Tonette, Shaunna, and Monique are all still in the same clique. Monique yearns for a different way of life and wants to break the tie that binds her to Tonette and her evilness.
Crack Head II is a sequel that is a questionable follow-up. The author does indeed answer the few questions that the reader may have had from the first read, but six weeks is hardly long enough to truly make a difference in a sequel. There is no definitive growth in the key characters, and the secondary characters proved to be more interesting. The storyline had potential, but the author fails in delivery. Great editing job though considering this is the first TCP publication that I've ever read and found not one error!
