Verdict: Noire's latest work of urban erotica (after G-Spot and Candy Licker) features the same sensual suspense and intrigue that her fans have come to enjoy and expect. Get it, and if your collection is missing either one of the previous titles, get replacement copies to circulate with this new book. Background: Traumatized by an abusive mother and heroin addiction, 18-year-old Eva is determined to recover. She flees her Brooklyn home for Harlem to live with Aunt Milena and cousin Fiyah, the relatives who have always had her back. As Eva tries to get her life in order, she falls in love with a photographer and aspiring rapper named Mello and secretly gives birth to a son whom she hides away with a trusted confidant. In trying to balance her loyalties to her new life and her old one, Eva struggles to figure who really wins the game. All paths cross at the nightclub Bricks, where Fiyah, who is no stranger to the darkness of the streets, works hard to save his life and Eva's-but it might be too late.-Vanessa J.
