3 out of 5 books -
Mya’s world turned upside down when
her father was sent to prison for drug charges. To make matters
worse, Mya’s mother turned to crack to deal with the pain. At just
seventeen years old, Mya has to play the adult role in order to take
care of her younger brother and sister. She also catches the eye of a
local hustler name Hood. But things spiral out of control when the
violence of the streets hits way too close to home. As a result, Mya
makes some decisions that could have deadly consequences for all
involved.
Her Sweetest Revenge was a
decent but average hood story. This book had the potential to be
something different but there were a lot of things in this story that
readers of this genre have read before. The physical attributes of
Mya and the plight of her family are examples of a formula that’s
been used so much in other books that it’s time to break this
cycle. There were different situations in the book that were told to
the reader instead of creating a scene to show us what happened.
Several scenarios in this story were so far-fetched that it came off
as very unrealistic. Also, there were a number of grammatical and
word usage errors that could not be ignored. Saundra does leave room
for a sequel at the end of the book. But there’s not enough of a
connection between the characters and the reader to warrant or carry
a sequel. Her Sweetest Revenge wasn’t a bad story. With so
many options in today’s African American fiction market, Saundra
needs to come better than this if she wants to really make a mark in
this industry.
