Harlem on Lock

Karen Williams did her thing on her first book!!!, I finished it in less than 24 hours!!! Keep up the good work!!! Simply the best book I've read in a long time!!

HARLEM ON LOC WAS OFF THE CHAIN. IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I'VE EVER READ AND I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. WOW, I JUST WISH IT WAS LONGER. IF YOU PURCHASE AND READ THIS BOOK, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. IT WAS EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reared by drug-addicted parents, Harlem is a 17-year-old girl looking for a way out of a life of poverty and pain. After being rescued from her father by a man named Chief, Harlem goes from one abusive situation to another. Harlem now has a fancy roof over head, plenty of food on the table, and new clothes on her back, but nothing prepares her for Chief's wrath. The one person Harlem thought she could depend on is a young man named Savior, who promised to scoop her up and take her to a better place. Now that Harlem is in Chief's clutches, living happily ever after with Savior seems like just a dream. HARLEM ON LOCK is an emotional and suspenseful tale that engaged me from beginning to end. First-time author Karen Williams did an excellent job creating a story with unforgettable, life-like characters.

Harlem on Lock is an easy, engaging read. You feel for the main character and the story draws you in. Though the antagonist is unlikeable and you can't wait for him to get what's coming to him---the narrative kept me turning the pages. Hats off to Karen Williams.

5 Lock-Down Stars Harlem is a young seventeen year-old girl who has been thru more bad times than good. At an early age, Harlem had it bad from no food in the house,to hustling for her parents to feeding them their drugs, but the ultimate betrayal of prostitution by her father was enough to throw her over the edge. Harlem meets a king-pin named Chief, that lavish her with everything a young girl could want, but poor Harlem learns the hard way that nothing is free in this world and everything has a cost and sometimes even love. When an old friend appears named Savior, a war erupts and Harlem finds herself amongst a war she can no longer fight by herself. This was a sad, but a good read, the humiliation this girl goes thru makes you hurt, cry, and become angry. For it to be the author's first novel I think she did a good job and is moving in the right direction. Keep up the Good Work!
