After serving ten years for armed robbery, Jonathan 'JC' Cole is about to get out of the joint, and he has one thing on his mind: revenge against the three men,former childhood friends, now powerful crime lords,who betrayed him to save their own skins. Richard 'Richkid' Kidman is a Playa with a capital P, at one time controlling a stable of twelve women. Alonzo 'Zo' Johnson is one of the richest drug dealers in the Windy City. And Eugene 'Lil G' Pierce ranks among the most successful con men on the East Coast.
JC feels that the time has come for him to claim what is rightfully his. His misfortune was his ex-friends, stepping-stone, and now it is time for them to pay up,in spades. He doesn?t want to kill them, he just wants to take everything away.
He does this with the help of his woman, Champagne; his best friend, Rat; and Rat's girlfriend, Shaunna. They form a family of sorts, with JC as the leader and Champagne as the fierce mother hen, together embarking on an exciting journey into the underworld of Chicago.

SUGAR & SPICE
|
Author:Keith Lee Johnson
A Suspenseful Thriller! A "must" read for all suspense fans, December 2, 2003
I just finished reading Sugar & Spice! This is the best book that I've read in a very, very long time. I accidently left the book over my mother's house after the book signing at Karibu Books in Forestville, MD and couldn't get it back until SHE FINISHED READING IT. It took her approximately 1 day to read it. She was totally mystified about the book as well as the author. All she said was, "Annette, you've have to hurry up and read this book". I started to read it myself and virtually read chapter after chapter non-stop. I have an active 2 year old so it took me two days to finish it. My mother called several times a day to see if I finished the book so that we could discuss it. I told her that I wasn't finishing reading it. She could not contain her excitement about discussing the book. It's the kind of book that keeps you on your toes and you're constantly trying to figure out "the whos and whys" of it prior to finishing the book. The real mystery is why were the organs splattered all over the room. What constituted the anger? Some in an aggressive way and some not. Why?????????????? Another question is who committed the murders in Californina? Was it Alex/Sam or the other twins - Sugar & Spice?

A HIP-HOP STORY
|
Author:Heru Ptah
The first novel to truly capture the fast and furious world of hip-hop -- one in which the line between art and life is blurred for two ambitious MCs whose battle to be #1 is fought with weapons and words.
Rappers Flawless and Hannibal are two talented young men moving toward the same dream: to be the best, to take over the world, to see the big picture, to become the most respected rap artists of their generation. Along the way, they battle the business of mainstream hip-hop, industry honchos, crazy fans, and -- most of all -- each other. Caught up in their intense rivalry are Erika, Flawless's sister, and Micah, Hannibal's proteg?two young lovers whose loyalties toward each rapper threaten to ruin their future together. A vivid journey through the underworld of urban music, it is a West Side Story remixed to the movement of hip-hop; a story of desire and dreams, all tied to the beat of hip-hop eternal.
Reviewer: Hip Hop Fiction for the People,
Being that I'm not a big hip hop fanatic, I must say that I couldn't put this book down. I actually finished reading the book in one day. Heru Ptah has not only captured the true nitty gritty essence of the "hip hop industry", but created memborable/complex characters in the storyline. This book will definitely be a classic, it's the first real novel about hip hop and mc battles. It's Gen X and Gen Y's version of "West Side Story".
A MUST READ FOR ANY FICTION FAN!!!
