Review:
"The Power of Manipulation" by Niki Jilvontae
My Rationalization:
Story 1: Vih: Everything That Looks Good Ain't Good For You!
Vivan Wahler...Vih's story had been warned by her friend Christian about Rasheed... But will she take heed? Then there was Chad Ross, Mr. Cantrell, Mrs. White, only to name a few. How will Vih take on revenge for what had gone on in her life? Will Christian's story be able to help any of these people? Sad but a good read.
Story 2: Chey: Be You...****Who Doesn't Like It!
Chey...Cheymal Keith Brownlee, Jr, BG, Baby Gage...Reesha [his best friend] Zyear Robertson...gay friend. Chey's parents had no idea that their son was gay, so what will happen when they find out?
Story 3: A'Merica: Beware of Smoke and Mirrors!
A'Merica Karyle Watkins, who loved to visit with their father Drew, however, A'Merica didn't get along with her mom Katie. Now, why was that? Who was this friend of A'Merica... Linda? What was wrong with that relationship? How will this relationship meet up with meeting Alex online? Now, what is left to say you will have to pick up this read and see for yourself how this author brings out the story. It will be most interesting! By the end, will A'Merica be 'grateful she survived the manipulation that could have taken her life?'
Story 4: Jaceoa & Nylena: Sometimes It's Better To Be Alone!
Jaceia & Nylena were best friends and now off to college. Will these two be able to take care of themselves and do what was right and knowing when one was a manipulator when they met Lucky and Angel? Will Nylena be able to keep Jaceia on guard? This is the story that you will have to pick up and to see how this story will all come out. All that is left to say is what a manipulation this was for poor Jacelia and to do with to a so-called friend. Will she be able to get it all figured out where she went wrong, listening to the wrong person? This one was indeed a sad ending!
Story 5: Tremal & Robin: Double Lies, Ruin Lives
Did Robin want a baby, and what will happen when she finds out that Tremal [Mal] didn't want any kids? I thought his answer to this was crazy. He said he wanted Robin all to himself! With Tremal having two households a wife, Robin and side piece [Tangie] with his twins [TJ & Trev]..well really this turns out to be quite a read where manipulation is all over the place. What an ending!
I think my favorite story, 'Story One' Vih: Everything That Looks Good Ain't Good For You! I will say all of these stories showed how manipulation was upfront and center. Each story will give the reader a lot to ponder over long after the read in how one can process what all it takes to be involved in 'The Power of Manipulation.'
