My Review
Lola is more than a novel about the inner workings of a
small LA based gang, the Crenshaw Six. It’s a story about hardship,
determination and ambition. It bucks the trend of male orientated gang leaders
by instilling a woman at the head of the table, albeit subliminally at first.
Lola is brutal but loaded with heart which comes from taking a different perspective
on what it takes to be a leader in the violent streets of LA.
Not for the faint of heart, this gang-centric novel is
brimming with violence at every turn. Starting with a deal to embed themselves
in the drag trade, the Crenshaw Six are immediately immersed in a world of
murder and kidnapping with their leader, the fearless and ambitious Lola front
and center. Ending with further bloodshed, Lola maintains a murderous pace
throughout bringing with it a fully fleshed plot with realistic and intriguing characters
with the promise for more.
