Taking Wifey to the Grave

Rate this book
Keyasia "Keyz" Green is a seventeen-year-old child of a crackhead. When stomachs are growling and bills are behind, she sees no way out but using what she has to get what she wants in order to make sure her and her little brother Key'air survives. They say God always come through at the right time, and Keyz believes He did when he united her with Kartie, the upcoming king pin.

Just when Keyz thought all of her pain and drama was going to be taken away, life challenges knocks her down again.

There's so much a woman can take before she's completely broken and every girl mourns differently. They say a woman that cries over a man is a woman in love, but a man that cries over a woman is a man that will never love again.

Will Keys and Kartie be able to survive in a world where money brings jealousy out of the ones you would least expect? And with lies and deceit is in the air? Or will she let Cincinnati’s own king pin “Take Wifey to the Grave?".

Taking Wifey part 1

This was a very good read. I admired Keyz. She was young, but she looked out for her even younger brother . I also liked her relationship with Kartie. I'm hoping that Keyz makes it through and that things work out for her and Kartie in part 2.

Read this for a work program. Not my cup of tea, but it was an interesting introduction into Urban Fiction. I feel like if this story had been presented in a visual format, ie, a film or tv show, I could have appreciated it more. Stories that have a lot of action or are all action translate better into a visual medium for me. That being said, glad I read it so I can say I've given this genre a try.

I thought this was a pretty good urban read. 1st read by Jan'a Sullivan. Keyz although young, really looked out for her younger brother. I thought Kartie showed his good side when he decided to help & protect her despite not knowing her. The ending really brought the title to life & I'm looking forward to know the outcome. On to part 2

Excellent Read!!

This book was a banger from beginning to end! It was a short read that packed a lot of punch. I hated that the ending came so quick. I am anxiously awaiting on part two. You have a new fan Jan'a!!! Great job once again!

A good start. I enjoyed reading about life on the streets of Cincinnati and Covington.

My only nitpick is that it needed a little editing. The lack of page numbers and misspelling of Colombia drove me batty.

Fast paced, full of drama loved me some Keyz!!! she's a fiesty Lil young thang. She had it rough wit a crack head mama and trying to fill a grown up shoes. But her day came when she could stop and breath a Lil until the unthinkable happened!!!! Can't wait to dig into Part 2, to see the outcome!!!!

I really enjoyed this quick read. It is a lot of inner city realities. I look forward to seeing if what happens next.
