Shakey Is Loose And It's On!!!

In my opinion before you even pick up "Shakey's Loose" by Renay Jackson you have to read the first book in this series, "Oaktown Devil". "Oaktown Devil" is set in 90's Oakland, CA and one of the main characters is a thug nicknamed Bucky who kills people to get to the top. His supporting cast is hilarious. Again this is set in the 90's so if you're a young buck (no pun intended), you may not get everything Renay's talking about but keep reading, it'll make sense. I have to admit that I was kind of skeptical of a follow up because the characters in "Oaktown Devil" were a trip and most of their fate's were not good by the end of the book. Well Shakey, who is Bucky's brother, gets out of jail wanting to get back with his ex Cassandra who is now engaged to Rainbow. New characters are introduced as well as old ones that make a comeback. Shakey has better hygiene than his brother Bucky but is still just as ignorant. His best friend Slack helps him get back into the life of crime. I'll stop here and just say read this book only AFTER you read "Oaktown Devil". One more thing. Cassandra is a trip in "Shakey's Loose". You'll see what happens when she takes Rainbow on a bus trip to Reno. I can't wait until "Turf War" comes out in January to see what happens next. I'm not sure if this series is a reprint or what but whatever the case may be I am a Renay Jackson fan for life!
