Revenge Is Best Served Cold

Rating:
Summary: Hot, Tense, Stylish, Well-Written
Review: This book was an absolutely thrilling page turner. The authors start out very soft and mysterious. From the time all of the characters come together to the very last page, you are taken on a fun, intense, fantastic ski ride down a steep slope that never slows down. I loved the descriptions of the clothes worn, items used, food eaten and cars driven by the characters. I loved the posh, contemporary, exciting New York setting of the book. Every character is exquisitely,stylistic and the way the authors introduce them got me comfortable and familiar- there is no wait time with this book. I couldn't help but be impressed at the surprises in the plot that hit me with the smoothness and craft of a magician. There is an absolutely mouth dropping twist that happens after the first half of the book that made me stay up til sunrise to find out what the end was going to be. I completely enjoyed and devoured this book. Bravo Tracy and Danita. Keep it coming!

Summary: WTF!
Review: This book was horrible, I took it right back to the store. I can't even tell you what the story was about. Save your money and borrow it from the library.

Summary: The Best
Review: This book was so good I can't wait to read it again. The title really speaks for itself. Just when you think you know someone you really don't. I kind of got lost near the end but when I continued to read and find out more I was somewhat shocked. The book had me going from start to end. Please read this book. These two authors have a lot of potential

Summary: For those with caviar dreams!
Review: This book was wonderful! Unlike some readers I loved reading about sophistiated, style-conscious African Americans; there are some of us who live, or aspire to live that lifestyle, and I found it refreshing that it was depicted in contemporary fiction. I also found the writing to be entertaining and witty and the plot had several unexpected twists and turns that kept me turning the pages quickly. I also loved the deep friendship between Morgan and Dakota, and how the sexy, Miles Nelson supported his wife, even when she was wrong. The story proves that none of us are perfect, even when we look as though we are from the outside - designer clothes and all!

Summary: Great Ending!!
Review: This was a great read! I was really surprised at the ending. The only thing that perturbed me was the obsessive focus on designers and what the characters were wearing during every scene. I could have done without the fashion show.

Summary: Predictable
Review: This was a very predictable book. It amazed me that women in such high financial positions were only described by what they were wearing. There was no mention of any kind of financial portfolio whatsoever. Our book club made the mistake of picking this for our book of the month and the overwhelming consensus was that we were embarrassed for the authors. It was a waste. It was such a good story line, but there was very little revenge. Where was the revenge on Parker, the cheating boyfriend? He should have gotten crabs or some other disease. Or the revenge on his jerky friends that thought that Dakota was the maid. Or the revenge on the company that overlooked Morgan for the promotion? They could have come with a story line that her catering company catered a party for them in which she made more in a night that she did all year and then the company's department that she was passed over the promotion for eventually failed. There could have been so many revenge lines, but there weren't. The only upside is that for a person that reads nothing, this would be a good first book.

Summary: Almost better than Sista Souljah's "The coldest winter ever"
Review: When I first read the title I thought "enticing". I was right. I dreamt about the book at night and hated to put it down at work. The book is great and a huge page turner. I just hope that Danita and Tracie come out with something great in the future.

Summary: Great Read
Review: When I first saw the title to this book, I thought that it would be interesting. Little did I know that I would not be able to put this book down until I had read it cover to cover. This book is amazing and a great read. If you want to find something that will keep you enthralled from pager to page, this is the book for you. I can only hope that Tracie Howard and Danita Carter write another book soon and that is just as amazing as this one.
