Friend or Foe 4 Out of 5 Stars By OOSA Online Book Club "O.O.S.A. Gets It Read!"

The divas of Brick City , Newark, Sasha, Tatum, Kim and Nelli are as thick as thieves. Beautiful, sassy and stylish, these lovely ladies can go toe to toe with the best of the elite and get any man their hearts' desire. Friendships and relationships are tested when a slew of uneventful activities come into play that may cause their lives to change forever.

"Thicker Than Water" is very entertaining and will have you on the edge of your seat. The drama was unbelievable and kept me glued to the very end. I was really excited when I read one of the characters with the same name as mine. The ending left me hanging and wanting more, but at the same time thrilled that there will be a part II. Ms. Allen has definitely got the literary game on lock.

4.5 out of 5 books Reviewed by Tazzyt2bossye for Urban-Reviews.com

Meet four friends with diverse lifestyles, personalities, and goals in life. They accept the good, the bad, and the ugly to stand together against all odds. Kim is the vocal one of the four with her ghetto mentality, yet despite the strength she exudes, she has a weakness for a married man. Neli is the weakest link and her insecurities play a major role as she secretly covets the possession of one of the quartet's most precious possessions. Sasha loves her friends as much as the love of her life, Chauncey, who seems to love the drug game more than her. While Tatum is the authentic diva with looks, luxury, confidence, and style, she's missing the love of a good man.
Tatum effortlessly steals the show with her encounter with the unforgettable Respect. Respect is a fascinating character that lures you in with his poetic quips and his sexy dialect; let's not even begin to mention his looks, power, attitude or prowess in sharing his love.
Thicker Than Water is an energetic read focusing on the relationships between four friends and the many ventures that they dare to encounter. Love, life, romance, jealousy, rivalry, deception, betrayal, and loyalty all flourish as the story line expands. This is my first Takerra Allen read, and I highly commend her on taking an age old plot and portraying it in an impressive and superbly written novel. Ms. Allen incorporates suspense and a tad of mystery to make this an even more pleasurable and intriguing tale. With better editing to correct the numerous errors, both spelling and grammatical, I have high hopes for the conclusion of this story line and anxiously await the sequel! Kudos Takerra...Kudos!

Weekend Re~Cap!!! Some Good and some BaD!!;-)

The weekend the weekend, oh boy the weekend. Alright well Takerra was supposed to do a signing at Makeda's in NB. But when we arrived the manager and promoter hadn't communicated because we were all confused. So after some frustration/aggravation we said f*ck it, went to Hotoke had a drink, chilled with some of the supporters { oh yeah the supporters emailed me while we were out and I let them know where they could meet us at Hotoke and get a signed copy of thicker than water}, and just enjoyed ourselves.
... Saturday was a run around day. Takerra and I went out to Newark, Jersey City, and Elizabeth... we dropped off some books for the local bookstores. Overall this day was a great day... Before I forget, we also had a little {in size not spirit} supporter KAMANI!!! Yes, my baby girl came out with us and once inside the bookstores she got her promoting on, Hey you want to buy a book, it's only $10!!! I love it! Later on that night we checked out Precious and that was a good movie, not sure why it gets the mixed reviews, but I enjoyed it...
... I have to give Sunday it's entire post....

Thicker than Water Special Edition now available @ www.amazon.com or email heaveninc@live.com for your copy or bulk orders.



Takerra Allen announces the anticipated release and availability of her debut novel, Thicker than Water, available now at www.amazon.com, finally bringing a sexy & feminine element to the Urban Fiction genre. With Thicker than Water, Street meets Chic, Hood meets High Fashion, and
Urban Fiction meets Sex and the City!

“ Thicker Than Water is an urban chick flick waiting to happen. Takerra paints a gritty, true to life portrayal, of friendship and betrayal...! ” --Dutch (Kwame Teague, Author of the Dutch Trilogy)

Dubbed the Sex and the City of the Hood! Thicker than Water is the powerful tale of four spitfire vixens hailing from the infamous Brick City - Newark, NJ, and their unforgettable journey through one mind-blowing summer of events! Sasha, Tatum, Neli, and Kim are four gorgeous girlfriends, all with unique personalities, all trying hard to survive their own personal struggles, and all making sure they look fabulous and have fun doing it! However they soon find themselves all caught up in the game and face to face with major drama ranging from lust and liars, to mistresses and murder! But these girls are sure that the bond they share is strong enough to conquer almost anything.
That is, until secrets are revealed, temptation is tested, and pride and jealousy play at the core of their relationships. With good times, and bad times, fun times, and sad times, there is only one question left unanswered in the end about their friendship. Can it stand the tests of loyalty, and although it is not quite blood, is it Thicker Than Water?

“ PHE NO ME NAL! … People that love street lit are going to find this book very entertaining… With this street banger, I could NOT put it down!” –Rob Ruiz (CEO Ransom Letter Publishing, Inc.)

Thicker than Water serves up enough sex, solace, murder, and mayhem to satisfy the largest of appetites while revealing a hidden message that focuses around the human evils of envy, vanity, and greed. This is an Urban Fiction must read!
