Goldie was lucky in everything but love. From dodging the police with pounds in the trunk, to getting revenge on the bitches that caught her slipping in the club, nothing could knock her hustle. Minks, gators and fly whips were her reality, and she would do anything to keep it that way. A chance meeting with a nigga that had Detroit on lock could set her up for life. Getting him in her bed was the easy part but trying to get rid of him was easier said than done.

Instant hood classic,
By Marlon McCaulsky (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Like Night & Day (Paperback)
First of all let me say that Renita Walker is the truth! Like Night & Day is an instant hood classic. Renita has crafted a page-turning novel told by the intriguing and sexy Goldie as she hustles on the wicked Detroit streets.
On the surface Goldie seems to be just another round the way chick from the hood but underneath this facade she uses her beauty and brains to out smart other hustlers and make her money. You can't knock her hustle! But with jealous girls hating, shady friends and even shadier family members trying to get over on Goldie it amazing she's able to stay ahead of the game. But Goldie does suffer from one weakness, the classic case of a hot chick that wants a bad boy syndrome. Goldie gets a bad case of that when she meets Manish, a powerful drug dealer who's known for using women to set dudes up then robbing them for all their paper. Goldie easily gets Manish to fall for her charms and in her bed but when Manish begins to control her life getting rid of him becomes a matter of life and death. Renita keeps it so hood on this debut that it's amazing that a certain major hip-hop lit Publisher let her get away. Somebody dropped the ball big time. This book is pure fire! As one author to another I tip my hat to ya ma! I highly recommend this book if you are into urban/street fiction. Much prop's to Renita Walker and I can't wait for her next one!

This review is from: Like Night & Day (Paperback)
Hailing from the city of Detroit, Goldie the "light-skinned cutie" is the girl that turns heads wherever she goes.
When Goldie, meets a man unlike any other that she has dated, a man that is attentive, sweet and charming she gets a taste of what real love is supposed to feel like. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond their control, this relationship doesn't last. After suffering a great loss, Goldie agrees to go out on a blind date, with Manish. Although he tells her he is a business man she knows he makes his money in the streets. How else would he be able to buy her all the minks, gators, trips and shopping sprees? Manish may spoil her but he has a different side to him, a sinister side to him that is not to be taken lightly. Goldie gets tired of all the drama and when she gets it in her head to leave, it just may be easier said than done. LIKE NIGHT & DAY by Renita M. Walker, was an okay read. The story has this reader wondering if the story is based on true events. Nevertheless the story was somewhat irritating, because I don't know how many times the author made reference to the many shopping sprees Goldie went on and what was bought out on these shopping sprees, then when the characters went out to eat, what each character ordered, what each character put on for the day, and of course Goldie's drink of choice was MOET. That was unnecessary filler pages. I get it Goldie was living "hood rich!" I didn't feel there was much of a story and some parts were repetitive, the story picked up the last 50 pages or so. All in all this was just an okay read, nothing more...nothing less.

This review is from: Like Night & Day (Paperback)
THIS BOOK WAS AWESOME I'M SO GLAD THAT I READ IT,AND I WILL BE SHOUTIN IT OUT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!!!!
FROM THE JUMP YOU'RE PICKING SIDES AS TO WHICH CHARACTER HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A GOOD PERSON (GOLDIE) OR WHICH ONE IS DOWNRIGHT TRIFLING (BJ & MANISH!!!) THIS BOOK WAS PURE FIRE. THIS MY FIRST TIME HEARING ABOUT RENITA M. WALKER BUT SHE DELIVERS REFRESHING, EDGE OF YOUR SEAT BOOK ON HER FIRST TRY! SHE'S GOT ONE CREATIVE MIND. I LOVE IT AND TRUST I WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH HER NEW ONE.
