Adra Young : Ardannyl

This book is truly one that you can't put down after you pick it up and read the first story titled, Foolish Love. I was totaly amazed at the mentality of these women in each of the short stories. For all you Fiction Readers out there, this is definitely a great one to purchase and add to your collection of Good Reads. Adra Young Author of: The Everyday Living of Children & Teens Monologues

You Never Know Who is Out to Get You...

VINDICTICE WO-MEN by Valencia R. Williams is a collection of short stories with situations ranging from the actions of a young woman scorned, to a son determined to make a father pay for his painful childhood. Throughout the book Williams has written tales that include deceit, jealousy, secrets and more. "Foolish Love" is about a young girl who wants to get revenge on a man she loves, but who does not love her. A woman who seeks revenge on her baby's father is portrayed in the shocking "Be Careful What You Ask 4." In "An Open Door" Williams creates a character determined to get revenge at any cost. Also included is ".evoL nI looF A" (A Fool in Love) which would be even better as a full length novel. Each of these stories is about getting even, but there are also some that include lessons too. "Taking Over" shows what happens when you allow drugs and the wrong people into your life and "Brave Heart" shows that age does not determine courage. While Williams has done a good job compiling her stories, there are some that fall short. An example is "Church Vixen," a story about the affairs of a churchgoer. Taking up only two pages it lacks the vindictive element found in the other stories. "Things About Her Life She Wouldn't Tell a Priest" is about a woman and her sexual experiences beginning as a child that may leave the reader confused. Overall Williams' book of short stories is enjoyable. She has created characters you'll love to hate and even some you'll feel sorry for. The descriptions of each situation allow the reader to get caught up in each individual story. Her writing also includes shocking moments that will make your jaw drop. Readers will not be disappointed; instead they'll be left thinking about the lengths someone may go to get revenge on them. Reviewed by Criss Coles of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

Wonderful

This book has excellent short stories that make you look at yourself and your life. This book is for everyone to read. It's raw, edgy, and details what goes on everyday in the black community. You must read this book...I applaude the author for being so deep.

Oh...My...God!!!

When the baby went flying off the balocony, that was it. This book was crazy as hell! To the author... I don't know where you get your stories from but if any of this is true, I'm scared. Mitch
