Review: King of Lawndale - Janice M. Allen



King of Lawndale (Kings of the Castle Book 9)


Review: King of Lawndale - Book #9 Kings of the Castle Series - Janice M. Allen - December 2019



This is a series that I have found myself enjoying more than I thought I would. It is a series about brotherhood coming together in times of need and that despite everything that is thrown their way to try and sabotage the good they are trying to achieve, deep down they try to keep their chins up and prove that being a good guy if you stick it out will always prosper and that karma is real and can bite you on the butt when you don't expect it. King of Lawndale features Dwayne Harper who was the last of Khali's boys to take up his place at the table of the Castle. Dwayne's field of choice and passion is Education and being a mentor to the boys just like Khali was to him.  Dwayne has started a school which is the first of its kind where it only takes 20-30 kids at a time and all the attention is focused on finding the boys passions and working on that field. As Dwayne believes that parent help is another big part of the boys succeeding, he also offers parents the chance to have some schooling of their own.  However, in the town of Chicago, there are some people who want to put a stop to Dwayne and are willing to make some bad rumors to slander his name. When one of them manages to blackmail one of his students it becomes personal, even more so when Dwayne's partner Tiffany becomes a target as they know her secret - one she has kept since she was fourteen years old.  With the help of his friends - the other Kings and his family, can Dwayne prove to his students that the good guys always win out in the end? Find out in Book #9 of the Kings of the Castle Series.

Having never heard of such lore, I thought I could ignore his pleas. The Summer Solstice proved otherwise. Being surrounded by fellow witches worked my magic up into a powerful swell that crashed and churned within me. As the energy crackled through my veins, I shunned my royal duties to follow the call of my heart. Venturing beyond the safety of the Kingdom’s borders, I felt Fate nudging me toward a destiny I was eager to claim. Confidence in my craft blinded me from the ominous clouds of danger that roiled on the horizon. Captured by purists de...

The Vicious Deep

The Vicious Deep written by Zoraida Cordova I haven't read any other mermaid YA novels, although I hear there's a relatively new-ish trend towards the mermaid trope.  After reading this one, I'm really not sure I want to seek out any more mermaid books.  I tried to be open-minded and read the whole book, but really, though, this was not a good book for me.  Just in terms of the writing style, basic sentence variation goes a long way to counter awkward writing.  It's something I personally struggle with, but then, I'm not looking to be a published writer either.  Beyond that though, the story itself...Tristan is the obnoxious popular kid you can't stand at school.  He's full of himself, you can't relate to him, despite his role as the main character , he's shallow, sexist, unlikable...the list of adjectives goes on.  He's a caricature of hotheaded teenage arrogance.  Guys, the sentence "I'm not rippling with the muscles of the other bros,...
