My Review
grew to the heights of fame from the ghetto, as a partner of a drug supplier.
The life of Nia which started from the streets of Miami, took several turns and
finally ends up as a rapper. A shocking revelation changes her life forever.
Sam Hunter portrays the fast moving, thrilling journey through Book One. Nia is the representative of several pop
stars and hip hop singers whose childhood was dark and horrid.
Every incident of her life from the rape attempt, hooking up with Leon, her
father’s violence, mother’s helplessness, her growth as a celebrity. Every
incident is depicted with supreme conviction. The rap lyrics which Nia sang
were all quite refreshing and upbeat. The relation between Nia and Leon is
perfectly timed. I could feel myself tapping my feet while reading them as I
could relate to the tune and beats. Nia’s Love for Tupac Shakur let us grab a
chance to brush up the memories of the songs and the singer. The story is
rendered with utmost conviction that I even googled to see if there was
actually a rapper called Nia Rodriguez, whom I missed to notice among the surge
of new talents. Rest I leave to readers since it would end up as a spoiler if I
say more. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Some chapters reminded me of Jackie Collins.
characters had identity, individuality and craft, with a convincing back up
story. Writing style is highly professional and rapid. There is call for action against the still persisting discrimination against the blacks.
characters were given unnecessary build up. The reverie of the characters were
dragged at some points, which dropped the pace of the story. I did not quite
like the reason behind the break up. Of whom? That readers should find out.
