Lyrical genius and self-proclaimed thug, Blayze, is the newest rhyme-master to step on to the hip-hop scene. His smooth flow, undeniable good looks and sick lyrics shoots him pass the industry's reigning rap stars as he heads for the number one spot. But his overnight success quickly goes to his head and gives him the illusion that he's invincible. His delusions of grandeur get him into trouble with the law repeatedl, but his well-paid attorneys and superstar status has a way of making that trouble disappear. And although he thinks he is untouchable, Blayze soon finds that his superstar armor isn't so impermeable when he is accused of rape. He vehemently denies any involvement in the attack, but the evidence says otherwise. His thuggish persona and above-the-law attitude doesn't help his case much either. Will this overnight celebrity, whose has garnered the support of millions of fans by being a bad-ass, be able to convince a jury of his peers that even though he has a propensity for getting into trouble, that he is not guilty of the crime he is accused of, or will his flagrant bad-boy image lead to the downfall of a promising career?

I loved this book from start to finish. It's hard putting it down. This is a very well written book. The author didn't use a lot of utter nonsense chapters---she was straight and got to the plot quick. I was satisfy with the ending. I would definitely recomend this book to readers. This is the second book I've read by this author. I look forward to reading her third.

This review is from: Fallen Star (Paperback)

Fallen Star by Debra Clayton, author of Rap Superstar was a very good read. Fallen Star is about rap superstar Calvin Wallace, aka Blayze. Blayze is the hottest rapper out of the ATL who has went triple platinum, as well as sold out every arena on his tour schedule. However, fame has went to his head.

Blayze is loving all the attention he gets from his groupies. The problem with that is that he has a lovely wife, Toni who has been with him for seven years (married three years). Toni has stood by Calvin's side from day one. She helped him realize his talent and pursuaded him to be a rapper. She put off going to college in order to help him achieve his goal of signing a record deal.

When Calvin reaches stardom, he forgets not only where he came from but who stood by his side from day one. When Toni threatens to leave because of his infidelity, Blayze treats her like one of his groupies on the side, telling her to put up with it or get to stepping with nothing, constantly rubbing the prenup she signed in her face.

He feels like he's got it like that. But as the old saying goes, what goes around comes around and what goes up must go down. Blayze is charged with rape of a fan. He denies the allegations and for the first time in three years, realizes he needs Toni more than anything to help him get out of the rape scandal.

Will Toni stand by her man and be his ride or die chick - as she usually is - during his rape trial? Or will this be the end of the straw and she walks without a penny to her name??

This book is filled w/ suspense and will definitely make your mouth drop.
