A special message from Nikki Turner
Dear Member,
I have to begin by thanking you so much for the everlasting support you have given me and my work. There aren't enough pages or time to tell you how much I appreciate you.
I'm really excited to tell you about my newest release: GHETTO SUPERSTAR.
Delivering this particular baby was very difficult for me, and this project took longer than expected to complete. Once I got going, the first draft was a breeze until my editor Melody pulled out a gigantic axe and commenced to chop up everything within her reach. I'm talking not just a word here or a sentence there but entire paragraphs and chapters. Yes, CHAPTERS!
But two good things did come out of it. One was the realization of how much respect and admiration that Melody and I have for one another (because it could have gotten down right ugly) and the second was the super terrific book that we ended up with. I still think using a machete to edit is a bit of an overkill, but I know she only wanted the best for the newest baby joining our clan.
If the old folks' tale is true that the more pain a woman suffers during the delivery the more successful the child will be-then I know this will be my most successful child yet.
So, now I introduce the world to my newest baby: GHETTO SUPERSTAR!
Forever Yours,
Nikki Turner
Ghetto Superstar
Vibe magazine calls bestselling author Nikki Turner “…a master at weaving juicy, ‘hood-rich sagas of revenge, regret, and redemption.” Ghetto Superstar is no exception! Singer Fabiola Mays is, in a word, fabulous. Not only does she have an incredible voice, she has the looks and the moves to keep all eyes on her. But while these assets garner her much of the right kind of attention, there’s also the wrong kind—and the wrong man. Like one of the music industry’s most successful (and shadiest) moguls, who will stop at nothing to get the sexiest and most talented diva alive into his bed. But Fabiola has class to spare, and she won’t give in to his sleazy designs on her—even though rejecting him is sure to make her some powerful enemies. But it also wins her an unlikely ally in Casino, an older gangster battling demons of his own in the music biz. Joining forces, they’ll pool their hopes and their assets and fight together for a brighter future. Whether you’re a long-time fan or just discovering Nikki Turner for the first time, just a few pages into this tantalizing tale you’ll fully agree that “Turner is one of the most provocative urban lit authors of this generation” — author, Teri Woods

Not the best

I was really shocked with this book. It did not deliver good at all. It was ok but it took me a whole week to read it if not 2. Usually I finish her books in 1 day. But this wont stop me from buying another one. Nikki Im still a faithful fan.

The best part of the book was the first chapter and the last 3 pages. I read it in a day and half but that didn't mean much. It just moved slow. I am not that psyched to know if a second part is in the midst. Usually her books are a little bit more interesting to me. It wasn't the worst book I've read this year.
