Talented Tenth's review of little ghetto girl

NOVEL: Little Ghetto Girls-A Harlem StoryAUTHOR: Danielle SantiagoISBN: 0-975289-07PUBLISHING: 2 OF A KIND PUBLISHINGREVIEWER: Talented Tenth Book ReviewersTu-Shonda WhitakerRATING: 5 OF 5 STARS The best way to write a review for Ms. Santiago's debut novel, Little Ghetto Girls, a Harlem Story, is to say, "Lets all rise, take the crown, and pass it down, there's a new princess of Hip Hop fiction in town!" Ms. Santiago is doing her thing in this action packed, fast paced, new millennium love story. Kisa Kane is a ghetto-glamorous street hustler, who knows her way around the drug world and the streets of New York. She takes no shortcuts when it comes to the game, the streets, her man, and her child. Sincere, Kisa's husband, is the "Dapper Don" of the hustling world. He tries to master his wife in the same manner that he has mastered the streets, but it doesn't work; Kisa is her own woman . . . although she will ride or die for her man, she refuses to roll over and be trampled on. Sincere means well, but there are times when he becomes intimidated by the strength and forcefulness of his wife; and he takes their world and turns it upside down. Nevertheless Kisa continues to do her thing but enough becomes enough when she tires of Sincere's infidelity. A dose of his own medicine knocks him off his feet and takes him for an action packed ride of sex, money, murder, and lies. Together, Kisa and Sincere, take us on a journey that we will never forget! In this love story there are times when love conquers all and then there are times when love is not enough. The reader has to be prepared for this page-turner because this is one story that you will never forget.

Little Ghetto Girl - OUTTA THIS WORLD!

Santiago arrived to get down in "Little Ghetto Girl". Whew! Kisa and Sincere are good people, but their bodies are infected with the H.I.-"Street" virus. Hustla's, rollers, and ballers, oh my! Santiago did an excellent job taking us to the street, hospital, bedroom, club, and prison. Oh, least I forget, the shopping mall. "Little Ghetto Girl" epitomizes how wanting to do right is not all you need to get off the streets. It literally breaks down how simple loving and genuine folk can use that ugly street beast to handle business. If you are looking for drama, Santiago can give you a seven course meal with "Little Ghetto Girl".

Ghetto Fabulous--Female Version Of A Male Dog!

After reading Danielle Santiago's, Little Ghetto Girl: A Harlem Story, I immediately compared this book to The Coldest Winter Ever. This novel is fast-paced, well plotted, and will have you wondering--Is this a true story! MUST READ URBAN FICTION!!!!!!Kisa Kane is an entrepenuer, a fly-girl, and street savvy all wrapped up into one nice package. She is a female version of a male DOG! Her uncanny ability to handle any situation, fearlessness, and ruthless acts will amaze and shock the reader. Kisa Kane has all the 3 G's--Gucci, Glitz, and Glamour. And her get money attitude and do or die mentality will surprise the reader at times.In the end, Kisa wonders is it worth the headache and heartache of the drug game. She evaluates her life and makes some very tough decisions. Is it worth the risk of losing loved ones, repeated death threats, and watching your back constantly. Kisa Kane is a wife, mother, and assassin. And the unexpected plot twist at the end of the book made me cry. It was worth the shedded tears because I realized Kisa was human and still a women with emotions underneath her hard core exterior.Danielle Santiago has an uncanny ability to grab the readers attention and keep it. Watch out for her next book Grindin' For Keeps: A Harlem Story.Anita Shari PetersonTalented Tenth Reviewer
