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.

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.

This is the best book i have read my ENTIRE life. I read alot of books. this is not your average street novel, it has a twist. this book kept me in suspense and it was very well written. this author is well on her way in becoming a literary icon

It wasn't hard to figure out the who-dunnits of this story. If you can get past all the grammatical and spelling errors, you will notice an off-the-hook storyline. I hope the author didn't pay too much for an editor, because it was money wasted... so sad, because this read could have been so much better with the corrections.

~~~NO FLATTERY REVIEWS~~~

Yvonna is living the fast ghetto fabulous life in D.C. Her world spins out of control when her high school sweetheart Bilal is brutally murdered by her father. But when Yvonna learns of a devastating secret about Bilal after his death, she's so angry that she leaves D.C. and runs to Baltimore. Fast-forward four years later and Yvonna is back and angrier as ever. Yvonna is out to get revenge on everyone who has made her "shyt list." As she gets to the last name on her list, Yvonna has to decide if she should carry out her plan or if she should act on her feelings and take another shot at love. What will Yvonna do?

Shyt List is a shocking page-turner by Reign. Reign grabs the reader's attention from the first few pages and doesn't let go until the very end. Readers need to pay close attention as this story unfolds because things get crazy really fast. This book is full of twisted vendettas and even murder. As you read this novel, you will keep wondering in the back of your mind where Yvonna's father is and why are people suspicious of Yvonna's story about Bilal's murder. There is a jaw-dropping twist that's so jarring, you'll have no clue that it's coming. Shyt List is a fast-paced, thrilling novel that will leave you begging for a sequel from Reign.

I just finished reading the book. It had a few slow places but overall I really enjoyed it. I would definetly loan my copy out and recommend it as well. This girl was special and not in a good way. I enjoyed the twists and turns. If you like suprises then you will like this book. I will definetly purchase the sequel.

Don't judge a book by its cover or the rave reviews you read! I made the mistake of buying the first and second book together based upon what I read here and can't tell you which one was worse. The plot was unbelievable---people so afraid of the lead character that they do anything she tells them to when a normal person would have reported her to the police. But I suppose it's better to end up dead than to snitch on a lunatic.
Note to the editors: Please invest in a proofreader. The errors are ridiculous.
