Library Journal

Naheema Morgan is doing well for herself. The 26-year-old has escaped from Brooklyn's poverty and is now putting her college degree to good use. That is, until she meets Mike Williams. A chance encounter jump-starts Mike's five-month seduction that is spiced up by romps in a Jacuzzi, rose petals on a bed, and generous amounts of red wine. Mike's 6'2", 185 lb.-sculpted body has Nahemma squirming. But what about these corpses burned beyond recognition that show up on Brooklyn's rooftops? Just goes to show ya, when it's too good to be true, it probably is.VERDICT Sex between Mike and Naheema has high erotic appeal, but McCoy also manages to insert grim scenes of butchery and betrayal in Mike's underground drug dealing. This is a solid debut by an author who knows her street lit audience. β€”"The Word on Street Lit", Booksmack!, 12/16/10.
