Ain't no lovin that good!October 18, 2008 Pitbulls in a skirt is a fast paced novel that deals with friends Yvette, Mercedes, Carissa and Kenyetta that are the ladies of emerald city and the better halves of the EC squad head honchos.
The story starts out with introductions and giving background on each character basically. the women were made promises of a better life outside EC like their girl Stacia who was the wife of the captain of the EC squad Dex. After Dex's and Stacia's gruesome murders the entire squad is on alert not knowing the horrible truth behind the ordeal.
Thick is Yvette's man or so she thinks. he has a hidden agenda that none of the EC squad know about. As things progress Thick coerce Lavelle, Cameron, and Dyson to break up with the girls because of his failed attempt to get Yvette back after a lot of drama and pain caused when one of his secrets were revealed. Going along with Thick because of their loyalty to the EC squad they soon find out through a chain of events that the girls have taken over and they're supplier, Dreyfus has cut them lose once Yvette and Merceds deliver some info to him. All hell breaks lose after the girls take over as unforgiving truths are revealed.
Pitbulls was a page turner. i love the storyline and how the women (although i don't agree with their choice of business) took off the blinders called love and took a stand against the men they thought would love them forever. love ins't good enough for me to risk jail by being in control of a drug ring and it sure isn't good enough for me to sit out in the cold or heat for 14 hours a day like they did.
There were times when i forgot who a character was due to being introduced to so many at a time and even throughout the book more and more were being introduced. I love the flow of the story and the fact that there will be a part two. Can't wait for January 09 not only do i get to see who the next president (prayerfully Obama) will be but i'll also get my fresh copy of PBIAS 2.
Great work Malone!
Gutta ChicsOctober 9, 2008 This was my first read from The Cartel Publications and I was pleasantly surprised. To say this was Mikal Malone's debut, I was even more impressed. The ladies were definitely the brains behind the whole organization, and at times proved to be more thorough then their men. I look forward to reading more from Mikal and The Cartel in the future.
