Half Black and half Brazilian, Chaos life has been a whirlwind since the day her mother gave her up for foster care at the age of five. She grew up in the hard streets of the Bronx, New York, but left home at an early age to start up a new life in Philly with a pimp named Crown. Crown, a gorilla pimp who controls the minds of his girls with manipulation, abuse and influence only wants his hoes to have eyes and love for him while continuing to make him top dollar on the seedy backstreets of Philly.

With the help of Chaos, YB sets up Crown, and he's left for dead as Chaos and YB both flee to New York for a life together.

With his pride and reputation on the line, Crown along with Harlem travel to the Bronx in search of street justice! Crown wants to murder YB and have Chaos live out the rest of her days in misery prostituting for him or maybe he might just kill her....

More About the Author

Erica Hilton's ability to switch up her writing style is undeniably her greatest feat. From the hardcore storyline of 10 Crack Commandments, where the lyrics of the incomparable Christopher Wallace, AKA, the Notorious BIG are broken down and deciphered into a thick fictional plot filled with drug deals and backstabbers. To the more female driven narrative of Wifey: From Mistress to Wifey, slated for a November 2011 release. Also in Ms. Hilton's catalog are: Dirty Little Angel, The Diamond Syndicate and Dirty Money Honey, that will be released on Melodrama Publishing November 2011. Dirty Money Honey is a collaborative effort with her labelmates, Nisa Santiago and Kim K.
Erica currently lives in West Hollywood, California with her fiancée and two dogs, Jay and Bee.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Hard Out Here for a..., December 3, 2008

This review is from: Dirty Little Angel (Paperback)

Chaos Mitchell is tired. She's tired of stripping. She's tired of turning tricks. And more importantly, she's tired of Crown, her pimp. Crown rules with an iron fist, often violent to show his stable who's boss. This isn't the life Chaos envisioned when she moved from New York to Philly. She wants out, but with a pimp like Crown, it won't be easy. She knows it's something she can't do alone. She has to fight fire with fire. Her fire just happens to be YB, a young hustler with a soft spot for Chaos.

Read the synopsis and thought, here we go again! Not another story about a stripper/pro wanting out. But, what Erica Hilton did was take the premise, made it her own and ran with it. DIRTY LITTLE ANGEL reads easily and can hold its own. The plot also has unique twists that will keep readers going. The strength of this novel lies in its realistic outcome. Don't know how the title came into play, though. Looking forward to NOTORIOUS.

4.0 out of 5 stars Destruction, December 30, 2008

This review is from: Dirty Little Angel (Paperback)

Dirty Little Angel by Erica Hilton is a fast-paced, drama-filled, action-packed novel that will have you leaping out of your seats. Ms. Hilton penned a novel packed with colorful characters, grimy tricks and new-age pimps. Dirty Little Angel is filled with graphic gory details that will have you reading with one eye opened, while praying for the destruction to end. Chaos is the main character in this not so fairy tale. We meet Chaos during labor when her mother was pushing her out in an abandoned building filled with rats and turning a trick at the same time. Diane was oblivious to the pain she was willing to subject her daughter to and instead figured she would call her what she felt she was going through in life... Chaos.

Growing up was hard for Chaos, in-and-out of foster homes and being abused and tricked out, she ran away from her latest foster home and into the arms of a hard-core killer/pimp, Crown. Crown was the head man in charge in Philly and staked out bus stops and anywhere he could find young girls to fill his stable. Selling drugs, girls, and whatever, Crown showed no regard for anyone's feelings. Beating his women was his way of keeping them in line, but Chaos had enough and was out for revenge. Hooking up with Crown's nemesis, YB, Chaos formed a plan to make everyone rich and get outta the game.

The problem is how much blood will be shed before all is said and done? Will Chaos and YB get out of Philly alive? Will Crown bow down to YB or will there be hell to pay in Philly when the smoke clears?

Stay tuned, this is one book you will go through in one night t o find out who is left standing when the smoke clears. I recommend this book to readers of street-lit. Dirty Little Angel was crazy and full of excitement, sexy scenes, blood and gore. With a little bit for everyone how could you go wrong?

4.0 out of 5 stars Angel Gets Payback!, October 7, 2008

This review is from: Dirty Little Angel (Paperback)

This is an interesting book full of drama, love, sex and violence. There are girls/young ladies that have run away or left home with no means of support who go to work for a pimp who dogs them out really bad. He is something mean to them. A couple of them finally gets tired and wants to get payback for all the beatings that he has given them. He was really ruthless. In the end they do get payback. This books keeps you in suspense. A book that you would not want to put down until the end of the story. I would like to know what will eventually happen to Chaos and YB in the future.
