Lola

Lola is at times an uncomfortable read. The main character, Lola, shadow-leader of the Crenshaw Six, is extremely ruthless and this makes that you’re immediately hooked. And as things start to spin out of control, Lola will take even more cruel decisions.

But, back to the start. Lola, secretly the leader of a small gang in Los Angeles, makes a bad decision that put her and hers right in the middle of two battling cartels. While now her life is in immediate danger she to a level likes it because this is the moment for her to step out of the shadows and stop being underestimated.

It was a surprisingly good book. I’m usually not really into books about gang/drug wars, but Lola’s story was very good. I liked her connection to Lucy, but her conflicted relationship with her brother didn’t feel real to me. If you do not like to read about violence, mutilation, rape, murder and the like, this probably isn’t the book for you. Otherwise, it’s a very compelling read.
