Rating:  Summary: Have not been disappointed yet Review: I HAVE TO SCREAM BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYONE CAN SAY THEY DIDN'T LIKE THIS BOOK..I LOVED IT! I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. I WAS SO OPEN THAT ON MY WAY HOME I HAD TO STOP THE CAR AND READ. I WILL NOT SPOIL IT FOR ANYONE, BUT IF YOU LIKE TO READ YOU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK.. TRIPLE CROWN HAS DONE IT AGAIN.. I WILL KEEP READING UNTIL I'M BROKE!
Rating:  Summary: Grimey Review: I just bought Blinded and I haven't read it yet. I didn't read this title yet either. I just want to say it's ok to review a book but please DON'T give away too much detail or the ending. Just a word of advice for people giving a review. It just takes away from someone who hasn't read it yet. I don't want to start a book knowing what's going to happen to a character before hand. You can review it and not tell it.
Rating:  Summary: Editing was terrible..... Review: I know I am about to be hated on for this review. But I have to be honest. This book was all over the place.Blinded was excellent. I don't know what this was, maybe the author was trying to get another phenomenal message across but the story was to scattered. I am sure some people will still enjoy this story but a sequel this was not,so you don't have to read Blinded first or read this after you read Blinded because it won't make any difference. I don't want this to take away from my feelings on Blinded because that still was a great book. But don't waste your money on this book. Borrow it!!!!!!
Rating:  Summary: Street sense Review: I need to meet this author. She ain't no joke. I mean this author is fierce. Grimey didn't start off fast like Blinded but the message was very strong. I am patiently waiting for the next release. I loved Elsan and Sweetie. They were ride or die together.

Rating:  Summary: Karma is real Review: In William's debut novel BLINDED, we met Mona Foster. She was caught up in living a lifestyle of bling-bling, fancy clothes and big ballas. Ultimately, her fascination with material things blinded her to the reality of the life she was living and caused her untimely death. Now her brother, Yatta, is back in GRIMEY seeking to avenge her death...and he's starting with her ex-boyfriend Cam .
Cam is laying low since Mona's death; the heat is on him and paranoia has set in. He believes everyone is after him. His brother, Kenny, can't believe Cam was so ruthless that he felt taking Mona's life was the price she had to pay for cheating on him. That, along with other dark secrets about his brother, makes Kenny wonder if he's his brother's next victim.
El'san is sort of an anti-drug vigilante for the `Borough (Kingsborough Projects). He can't stand the thought of drug dealers poisoning their own people - black people. His solution is robbing the drug dealers and taking their "ready made" money. He even has his girl, Sweetie, in on the heists. All goes well until Sweetie runs into Cam . You see, El'san found out a lot of information about Cam while doing a stint in Rickers; he also found out some up-close and personal information about Kenny. El'san is willing to help Yatta even the score with Cam , but something goes wrong.
I could keep going but you might get lost in translation. GRIMEY had too many angles some had less significance than others. Williams made an attempt to get the message of karma being real across but somehow ended up with overkill, rather than a story. At some points the story became preachy. Not to mention the editing; it was not good. The story read well, but it strayed from the synopsis. Somewhere near the end it's almost like the author thought, "What was my point of saying all that?" Williams delivered a contrived ending, neatly wrapping and bringing all the missing pieces together.
