Coldhearted & Crazy by Ms. Michel Moore
A Review By: LL
When their parents are discovered brutally murdered in a ditch, Kenya and London are left orphaned and forced to navigate the unforgiving streets of Detroit. They might be identical twins, but they are as different as night and day. While one of them fights relentlessly to make it out of the ghetto, the other eagerly embraces true hood life and everything their parents believed in - selling drugs, living fast, and even dying young (if it means getting paid!).
Kenya is coldhearted and crazy, just like her Pops. Nothing is off-limits, and no one else matters - not even her sister, if she gets in her way. Blood may be thicker than water, but in one sister's eyes, cash is king - her only true family, and most definitely the head of her conniving household!
Review Notes:
Audio Book Publication Year: 2018
An installment in a Series? Yes
Narrator (s): Ellis Park
This book exemplifies that people raised together can take totally different paths. You would expect identical twins to be similar but not in this case.
I enjoyed the story because I am familiar with Detroit. I recognized a lot of the references. While listening, I could picture what was happening. I am anxious to continue the journey with the twins in the next book in the series. The narrator was impressive. I tend to dislike male narrators doing female parts unless they are skilled at changing their voice. He did not really try to sound feminine when he voiced the female characters, but somehow, it worked.
