Written by a Genius

The Fix 2 by K'wan

5 out of 5 stars

I started reading and I almost stopped so I could go back and read the first book again. Then I was like nah K'wan won't leave me hanging. This book answered a lot of lingering questions, but it created a lot of new ones too. But as I'm reading, I'm wondering how the hell is Chucky still alive??? He is like the stray cat that everyone has ran over in the neighborhood, but it just won't die. Chucky will surely outlive all these fools.

It was some stupid people in this book! Everybody street, but they too trusting of people. King Tut going on a mission without any information, just on the word of Omega. Omega lying and making moves, but quick to get scared. Lil Monk taking Charlie with him to do a job after he was told to go alone. Every woman Chucky come in contact with stupid for following behind a dope fiend. The only OG in this book is Big Monk. Cracked out or not, Big Monk is the only one who got some damn sense.

My favorite part...when Big Monk was talking to Omega about the safety of his son, and Omega didn't like the way he was talking to him and he thought he was gone question Monk. Monk showed him what it meant to make threats. Please understand when Monk put that gun to his face, Omega went silent.

You know you're a great writer...when you write a scene that literally makes your reader sick to their stomach. And just when I'm like dude I can't read no more of this...ewwww this is some sick mess...K'wan has the character say "enough." I looked down at the kindle, looked around the room...like K'wan play entirely too much. This dude is a F-ing genius!

What I'm curious about for book 3...is Big Monk gone have to body all these fools in Lil Monk honor? What role will Asia have (she came on the scene for a reason)? Vaughn Tate - friend or foe? Who is the real Richard? I have been dying to know more about this step-daddy and his connections. And the most important question, will Chucky be the last man standing???

Expect the Unexpected

Animal II by K'wan

5 out of 5 stars

556 Book Chicks were holding their damn breath...
Let's just get straight to the point...K'wan brought the unexpected in Animal II. He made us second guess all the scenarios we had conjured up in our head. He totally had us going to the left while he was busy ramming the story straight down our throats. Hands down one of the best novels we have read in 2013.

So coming into this book, I was definitely #TeamGucci and #Team Porsha, but Animal II changed my opinion of them...UGH! I came to the conclusion that our 556 Book Chicks friend Lawrence may have a point...they not made for this life. Gucci got the duck mouth because Animal slept with Red Sonja while he was a fugitive for 2 plus years...really? How about you jump out the window with your friend, Gucci. And then Porsha on Zo-pound ass like they been together some years. A street man cannot hold down a nagging woman and survive in the streets - she will get you killed. The only thing I can give props to Porsha for was convincing Zo to leave his gun at her house that night...other than that she gets no respect from me. And I'm sorry Gucci might have earned a body or two in this book, but she almost let everyone die before she pulled the damn trigger. So I want her and Porsha to exit stage right. But Frankie's Angel can stick around...maybe her and Zo can hook up later! What??? Don't hate the game...if you a fan of K'wan's you already know anything and everything is possible.

But I have to say when Gucci told Animal his ass had been on vacation "swimming in ho soup," I was dying laughing. "Ho soup" really K'wan? LOL!

Ohhhhhh and K'wan finally let Swann's secret out the bag. And Lord knows everything he has you thinking up until the secret is finally released will be oh so very WRONG! I thought for sure Swann was playing...nevermind it don't matter anyway what I thought because it was WRONG!

I absolutely loved the story line written for Animal, Ashanti, Kahllah aka Black Lotus, and Zo-Pound! Just when you think they were down for the count...K'wan dropped kicked someone and kept the ball moving forward. I am preparing you to expect the unexpected...do not blink, sleep or breathe while reading Animal II.

But I am real curious how K'wan is going to bring up the status of King James. Because to me King James did not prove under no certain terms that he was boss material. And Lakim had a valid point that Ashanti was stepping up more like a boss and making decisions for them. Lakim was throwing serious shade on Ashanti throughout the book. And although I hate to say it Ashanti might have to put a bullet in Lakim sooner rather than later...just wait you will see.

And Monika and I were discussing how K'wan got down on the sex scenes in this book! OMG!!!! K'wan damn near had a side story of erotica in Animal II. That scene with Zo and Porsha in the tub - had me looking back at the book cover trying to remember what the hell I was reading. 'Porsha placed one leg on the side of the tub so that Zo could get a better angle and drove her pelvis into his face. When she came, her legs shook, and she feared that she might fall, but Zo's powerful grip on her waist steadied her while he continued to lap at her.' 

WAIT...WAIT...WAIT...just when you get to the epilogue and you think everyone is on their HEA...there is a knock at the door. And it is the knock to end all knocks! Gucci don't answer that door girl...don't do it!

Please believe K'wan put it down in this book. He gave you everything you were looking for...plus things you didn't even ask for. K'wan brings the heat in novel after novel...and we can't applaud him enough.

Untouchable

Animal by K'wan

5 out of 5 stars

556 Book Chicks go underground with Animal...
With K'wan releasing Animal II: The Omen last week, I knew I had to pay Animal a visit and refresh my memory. I promise I read Animal at least twice a year ago, but reading it again over the weekend was like reading it for the first damn time. I was holding my breath, biting my nails...like I had never read the book. Ugh! All I could say is this damn K'wan is a freaking brilliant Author...with his tasteless ass! LOL!

There are so many things I loved about this book...I don't even know where to begin. Well let me say this I always tell folks to read the 'HoodRat Series' before diving head first into Animal, because a lot of the characters had their first appearance in one of the Hoodrat books.

Anywho...Animal had just escaped prison and was living life as a fugitive...until his girl Gucci was shot. Now he is making his way back to Harlem to get revenge..."I respect your faith in the higher power, but I'm gonna put my faith in firepower." Please believe the streets were not ready for Animal to be resurrected from the dead. But while Animal was away, Ashanti already had the streets rocking from his havoc. "Niggaz know how I give it up; give me mine or pose for that white line." Now with them both on a death mission - no one in Harlem is safe!!! Oh wait...did I fail to mention Alonzo AKA Zo-Pound is back from playing square and he is handling business in the streets.

I have to tell you Zo-Pound is one of my favorite men...he can be trusted, he can be GQ and street at the same time, and he is calm in sticky situations. One of my favorite scenes was when Zo was on a date with Veronica and he ran into Porsha...and the next thing you know he was defending her (Porsha's) honor against that bastard Don B. 'Don B. had no idea he had even been hit until he staggered backward and bumped his pack against the corner of the booth where Frankie and her girls were sitting. The second slap was even more vicious that the first, lifting Don B. off his feet and sending him sprawling onto the table between Porsha and Dena. where Dena's drink accidentally spilled on his head.' But that was not the best part...I just wanted to share that Zo knocked the hell out of Don B. Now on to the good part...so Tone (Don B. right hand man) thinks he is going to back his dude up...NOT! "Tone, I'll bet you all the money in your pocket that I can knock this li'l nigga out his shoes and still peel yo cap before you clear that gun. If you draw, nigga, you better be Picasso," Alonzo warned. Tone wisely dropped his hands to his sides. Whhhoooooooooooooo Bayyybbbbbbeeeee I can read this part a hundred times and still be laughing! LOL!

This book has it ALL - street wars, lines being crossed and drawn, new loves and lovers being reunited. I could talk about Animal forever, but I don't want to ruin it for those of you who haven't read it yet. I don't know what you're waiting on...read the damn book already! But I will sum it for you...oh wait I can't their are so many players that make this book what it is...Dena, Frankie, Cutty, Swann, Shai, Nickels, Holiday...the list goes on and on. But bayybbeeee when you meet the Priest - Church will be O-U-T - OUT!

Kudos to K'wan for being so talented with a pen. He definitely has a gift and we thank him for sharing it with us. #Tasteless
