This review is from: Shyt List: Be Careful Who You Cross (The Cartel Publications Presents) (Perfect Paperback)

Shyt List by Reign was an interesting look into the life of Yvonna; a no-nonsense woman who detested being called crazy. Some semblance of insanity should be expected if your father murdered your high school sweetheart, right? It did not help that after his death, Yvonna discovered those closest to her held secrets that immediately placed them on her `shyt' list. Attempting to start anew, Yvonna relocated from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore, Maryland, only to return with friends who helped her cope with her issues and fool-proof plans for revenge. As she skillfully crossed names from her list, she realized there was something in her much deeper than revenge...but was it too late?

Shyt List was an interesting story that brought to fruition something most think about but never carry out. This fast-moving novella was full of suspense and shockers, but lacked the character depth I prefer. Though I understood Yvonna's motives, neither she nor the other characters engaged me. The storyline was fluid, the editing needed more polishing, and the ending was enough to make me want to slap someone. I recommend Shyt List to readers who enjoy quick, motive-driven reads.

This review is from: Shyt List: Be Careful Who You Cross (The Cartel Publications Presents) (Perfect Paperback)

Reign has stepped on the scene with much force. She has written a novel that i promised will leave you with one word.(WOW) Not only does it touch every emotion, but it also touches every genre of writing from love, to mystery to the ultimate deceptions. I would recommend this as a gift for anyone. If your not an avid reader this is the perfect starter. This is a five star rated book by a firt time novelest who will no doubt ring loud bells in the future. I read alot of books and have read just about something on everything but was not prepared but more than pleasantly surprised. It grabs you from the first page and you don't put it down or get disappointed before the end. Reign has the talents of a seasoned writer.
