Overview

Falicia Blakely is born into a family bursting at the seams with dysfunction. Just as she is getting used to living with her grandmother in Jacksonville, Florida, the feisty fifteen-year-old is suddenly uprooted and sent to live with her mother in Atlanta, Georgia (ATL). Immediately, mother and daughter go head-to-head because Falicia has major problems making the adjustment. Most times, her mother is unaware and emotionally unavailable, which makes it easy for Falicia to get wrapped up in the dangerous streets of ATL, a place where life moves too fast and too furious for the naïve, troubled teen. Driven by the almighty dollar and the bright lights in the ATL, Falicia grows even more rebellious and meets a slick-talking pimp who lures her into a career as an exotic dancer. Falicia believes she has one up on the game until she encounters Mike, a hardcore hustler who teaches her the true meaning of ""a beast in these streets."" Soon Falicia and an accomplice commit an atrocious evil-a triple homicide. All too late Falicia realizes that manipulation, murder, and mayhem were all created by a savage who still freely roams the streets of Atlanta today.

Author Information

Sereniti Hall is an urban fiction author who pulls her creative juices and characters from everyday life, from the people, places, and things she's seen and encountered. While serving time in Marianna Federal Prison Camp, Sereniti didn't want to waste her time being idle and wanted to have a foundation to build on upon her release. After reading an urban fiction novel by the ""Queen of Thug Fiction,"" Wahida Clark and many others, Sereniti was inspired to begin her writing career shortly thereafter. She queried Ms. Clark, who signed her to a two book deal. And the rest, as they say, is her-story. In 2011, Sereniti Hall became the first Wahida Clark Publishing (WCP) author to have her novel Feenin' listed as one of the top ten books for Street Literature in the Library Journal. Since then she has released the even hotter and banging sequel, Still Feenin' and continues to surprise her readers novel after novel. Although urban fiction sometimes gets a bad rap, Sereniti believes that urban fiction is a creative art and makes it clear that it is labeled as fiction, meaning not true. Mainstream videos and movies are also fiction and depict the same material, and Sereniti begs the question, what's the difference with urban street literature? She wants the public at large to understand that urban fiction books aren't a guide to living, but at the same time what she and many others write are like trumpets blowing to announce a serious message about consequences, no matter a person's race, creed, nor color. Currently, she is working on her next project and resides with her husband and three daughters in Augusta, Georgia. Sereniti Hall has also written a nonfiction book titled Endless Tears under the name Dorothy Hall.
