Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 21, 2014
"What Da Lick Read," the debut novel by author Sevyn McCray, was accomplished, well-written. Each chapter introducing new characters which ultimately crafted the perfect twist. I was tickled with the character names; Beautiful and Gorgeous; twins- that couldn't be more different than two pair of left shoes. Khalil, a retired drug lord} raised Honesty, Loyalty, Reality, and Killah after the untimely death of their mother, Beloved. The love and loyalty this family has would make you think he birthed them all himself. What more could any parent want for their children but a decent education. What happens when a best-friend becomes infested with envy and jealousy. Fueled with rage a once-best friend secretly turns enemy and plots havoc against his very own....Will khalil engage in a relationship with ? Since she stays on his mind..Will she reciprocate his advance since she shares how she gets butterflies just from the sound of his voice?.. ...What happens with Honesty and Gigi? Does Beautiful sick ass let them live? Oh dear Gawwd how is Killah holding up? Heartache and devastation will drive anyone insane. What happend to Con, Gigi's right hand man? Will their be marriages and babies in Part 2??? Let me stop  here. Sevyn you can easily write a scene for The Bold and the Beautiful. (you definitely are cut for this.)I am stunned to learn that this is the first published work from this author. Someone has got to be kidding me. I felt a little of every emotion while becoming familiar with each character in an intimate way. The story-line was very developed. Each character had a voice. It flowed, it created suspense. She provided the element of surprise. I fell in love with a few characters. There was a hint of romance. By the end of the book most of the characters had fallen in love or they were experiencing heartache. All I know is I want to read part 2 IMMEDIATELY..The editing was damn near superb, their were subplots and plots throughout the entire read, This book deserves more than anybodies five damn stars.  The only thing that made me weary initially was the title.
