Back on the Block [Paperback]

Felicia Madlock (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2006

Recy Clark is back in her old neighborhood and she's even more bitter than when she left. The news that her foster mother, Ms. Joanne Banks, has been brutally murdered, has forced her to return to the place that she's been trying so hard to forget. For the past five years, she's been trying to get her life together, but now that she's back on the block, she's going to have to face her demons again.

Jonathan Jones, now a husband, father, and respected police officer, is haunted with the thoughts that the hidden truth may be revealed with the return of Recy Clark. He tries to act as though everything is business as usual, but Recy holds a secret that could tear apart everything he holds dear.

David Blackwell was less than thrilled to find out that his childhood friend, Jonathan Jones, is suddenly patrolling the drug-infested streets that he controls. As the news of Joanne Banks' murder hits the streets, evidence is mounting that he's the main suspect. But David didn't do it, because murder is bad for business. If he didn't, who did? Can he live long enough to find out the truth before his friend destroys his lucrative drug empire?

1.0 out of 5 stars Why?, April 12, 2007

I would have given this half a star if I could have. This book was awful. The story didn't flow, there were new characters being introduced every other line, and the summary on the back of the book didn't match with the story. I got this from the library and I was still mad that I even picked it up in the first place. Don't even waste your time with this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Did she ever find the block?, January 8, 2007

This review is from: Back on the Block (Paperback)

When I read Sins of the Father I couldn't wait until the next book by Ms. Madlock came out. I was truly disappointed. This book started out good but it started putting me to sleep. The only reason I finished the book was because I had spent my hard earned money on it. I wished I had purchased another book instead.

This review is from: Back On The Block (Paperback)

as every normal person i read the back of the book first and neither the names nor the events described on the back actually happened in that book. starting with that said i was naturally pretty confused most of the part.
there are also too many characters,most of them totally unimportant to the story...but then again i didnt really know who or what the story was about. i didnt know on what character to concentrate and not one person was appealing to me. i just didnt like them all and made it a drag to read this book. the writing and editing is very poor...

there is a lot more...but maaaan enuff said.
dont waste ur money on this one
