Product Description
DeJon, the Donald Goines of the new millennium, takes you on yet another fast-paced adrenaline run that will have you eagerly anticipating more.

Pumpkin, a pretty, naïve teenage girl fresh out of high school gets hooked up with Goldmine, a stunning and conniving stripper, after being sexually assaulted by her aunt's bi-sexual girlfriend.

Goldmine wastes no time in introducing Pumpkin into Atlanta's cold seedy underworld of quick money, tarnished dreams, and exotic dancing. Pumpkin soon finds herself caught up in the middle of a brutal drug war between New York gangsters and Atlanta's local drug dealers who will stop at nothing to protect their territory.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just Okay, August 21, 2007
This is my first book by this author.The plot of the book was a good one but unfortunately for me this was just okay.There were too many characters and the story jumped everywhere.White boy Danny was a sick individual.Pumpkin, I did feel bad for her because of her situation.Goldmine got on my nerves.Goldmine was all for self.The ending seemed rushed but I was glad to see Goldmine got what she deserved.

4.0 out of 5 stars What's really Hood?!, July 29, 2007
This is my second book from Dejon, and I must say I loved it!! His writing style reminds me a lot of Dnald Goines who wrote that gritty, raw keepin it all the way real type of book.
There are a lot of characters in this story, and it may seem all over the place, BUT all the characters tie together in the not so happy ending of this story.
There's stripping, MURDER, drugs, betrayal and more MURDER.
I look forward to the next novel from Dejon, keep doing your thing brotha!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Staying alive , July 28, 2007
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
The setting for Dejon's sophomore novel, MY SKIN IS MY SIN, is an area of Atlanta known as "Little Vietnam." Here we find Pumpkin who is living with her aunt after her mother was incarcerated on drug charges. Constantly harassed by her aunt's girlfriend, Pumpkin realizes it's time to leave after almost being molested. She moves in with her friend who introduces her to her sister, Goldmine. Under Goldmine's tutelage, Pumpkin enters the world of exotic dancing and discovers the dark side of the streets.

In the backdrop, there is a drug war brewing in Little Vietnam with some drug dealers from New York who are trying to take over the territory of the local dealers. Pumpkin and Goldmine both play a part is fueling the flames. There is also an interesting subplot which involves White Boy Danny who is the coolest white guy in the hood. Readers will be shocked this "down brotha" has a hidden agenda.

MY SKIN IS MY SIN is a plot-driven ride on the wild side. It is a graphic and gritty look at the world of fast money and dangerous living. There is no glamour or success within the pages, just a hard look at the truth. The book is very well written and the author encased elements relating to loyalty, racism and the fight to survive the mean streets. This is my first book from this author and he has captured my full attention. I look forward to future offering by Dejon.
