For quite a while no\w, the biggest talk on the Internet was about a one-named author named Zane. No one knew whether Zane was a man or a woman, only that his/her books were the bomb! Much of the hoopla centered around the novel, ADDICTED, but just as much buzz surfaced about the latest book, SHAME ON IT ALL. This reviewer became curious as to whether or not all of the hype was true. Lucky, Harmony and Bryce Whitfield are sisters who love each other so much it hurts. However, they fight and argue with equal passion but when they need support and help, they’re right there for one another unconditionally. These three women aren’t everyday, run-of-the-mill, cut and dry females. They’re sisters with a twist—and that’s where the drama begins! The entire book revolves around their adventures and
misadventures with love, romance and all sorts of offbeat situations. Told from
Lucky’s point-of-view, readers are given a glimpse into a world of comedy,
drama, sex, and off-the-hook mayhem. Most of Lucky’s drama comes directly out of her love
life. She’s somewhat oversexed and makes it clear that she has few hang-ups
when it comes to getting her freak on. On the flip side, she works as hard as
she plays—thus making her well-rounded. In terms of craft, Zane raises the bar when it comes to
creating a great story. She
presents her fans (old and new) with well-drawn characters, a fast-moving plot
and fresh, snappy dialogue. This book proves that it is okay, even welcome, to
write something that’s different from what’s currently on the literary
scene.
SHAME ON IT ALL is an interesting blend of girlfriend drama, comedy,
erotica and emotion. Readers are sure to talk back to the characters, cuss,
scream or cry during the reading of this novel. The plotline is punctuated with
the kind of emotion that is sure to elicit some kind of response.
SHAME ON IT ALL certainly deserves all of the accolades it was given online. This novel is a forging yet another new sub-genre
in fiction and has established another literary level to which serious writers must aspire. All that can be said about this novel is that it is
excellent and must be read—today. Don’t delay! For a peek at this novel and
more, the URL for Zane’s sizzling website is www.eroticanoir.com
and please don’t say that you weren’t warned! Quite frankly, you’re not in the literary know until you’ve experienced reading Zane’s new novel. Get busy reading folks, and please let Romance In Color know your thoughts about SHAME ON IT ALL. |
