Khiala Williams grew up as a middle class suburban Detroiter, not knowing any difficulties until she goes off to Michigan State University and meets and falls in love with Brandon Davis. Just when she thinks life couldn't be better, things take a dramatic turn. Khial and Brandon are both faced with extenuating circumstances, causing them to get caught up in illegal activities. Once over-achieving college students; now convicted feleons, things go from bad to worse as they fight suggested life sentences. Khiala continues to make decisions based on her circumstances and hustles in an attempt to regain the life she knew before her downfall. Her determination and vigor help her battle the cards which continue to stack against her. She narrowly escapes death, but is determined to win the game.

Ride or Die Chick,
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Circumstances (Paperback)
Freshman Khiala Williams' first day at Michigan State University could indeed turn out to be the worst one of her life. You see, she met and fell madly in love with Brandon Davis, a senior, and since then the two have been inseparable. When Khaila's best friend tells her Brandon makes money illegally, she immediately wants to know the truth and confronts him. Brandon tells her everything and from that moment her love for him grows stronger. Eventually, when the mob boss finds out about Brandon and Khiala, he increases Brandon's workload and now Brandon has very little time to spend with her. Khiala decides she can visit and assist Brandon while he's working, so she convinces him to teach her the ropes. Shortly thereafter, Khiala and Brandon find themselves doing time in jail.
Tonya Shirelle has written a very fast-paced and intriguing novel laced with romance and suspense. After reading the first chapter, I was a goner and didn't put the book down until the last page was turned. Khiala and Brandon were a typical couple in a not so typical relationship. Faced with the ups and downs as any other couple, the story took on a little twist after Khiala decided to join Brandon in his illegal affairs. The ending leaves me to believe we have not seen the last of Khiala and Brandon. Highly engaging, CIRCUMSTANCES will have you sitting on the edge of your seat.

Easy to read, could not put it down, a suspenseful novel that I was not ashamed to have my teenage granddaughters read. Looking forward to reading more from Tonya Shirelle.

Great look, great book!,
By Book Luva "ReadMO" (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Circumstances (Paperback)
I have read several books in this genre. This is one of the first ones that actually looks at the consequences of making bad choices in life. I think the author did a great job of drawing the reader in and making them feel what the main character was going through. All around, an enjoyable read. I'd like to read more from this author.
