American Heroin | Melissa Scrivner Love
5 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
The unforgettable protagonist of Lola returns in a gritty, high-octane thriller about a brilliant woman who will stop at nothing to protect her growing drug empire, even if she has to go to war with a rival cartel...or her own family It took sacrifice, pain, and more than a few dead bodies, but Lola has clawed her way to the top of her South Central Los Angels neighborhood. Her gang has grown beyond a few trusted soldiers into a full-fledged empire, and the influx of cash has opened up a world that she has never known--one where her daughter can attend a good school, where her mother can live in safety, and where Lola can finally dream of a better life. But with great opportunity comes great risk, and as Lola ascends the heirarchy of the city's underworld she attracts the attention of a dangerous new cartel who see her as their greatest obstacle to dominance. Soon Lola finds herself sucked into a deadly all-out drug war that threatens to destroy everything she's built. But even as Lola readies to go to war, she learns that the greatest threat may not be a rival drug lord, but a danger far closer to home: her own brother. Edgy, complex, and breathtakingly propulsive, Melissa Scrivner Love has crafted a novel sure to please not only those who loved her first book, but everyone who enjoys a gripping thriller.

I‘ve been on a book buying binge lately. This is actually from a couple weeks ago. American Gods is for book group this summer (we actually planned out the rest of the year), I needed a new copy of Helter Skelter as mine is held together by packing tape and rubber bands, and the rest just looked good!

SmartSassery Oh those are really cool! 💜 5y
CocoReads @SmartSassery thanks! I‘m especially excited about Daisy Jones. Next to books, music would be my other love. I have no particular talent for it but I‘ve always enjoyed others talent for it. 5y
CoverToCoverGirl I tried American Gods but DNF , just not for me, I hope you like it better. Helter Skelter is on my TBR, I‘ll get to it someday. 5y

CocoReads @CoverToCoverGirl I think Gaiman is a good writer but not always for me. This is a chunkster so I‘m not really thinking I‘ll get through it. I‘ve read Helter Skelter many times. I‘d be up for a buddy read when you feel like it. 5y
CoverToCoverGirl Absolutely would like to do a buddy read for Helter Skelter... moving it up my TBR pile now. 😎 5y
CocoReads Just let me know when you‘re ready! 😁 5y

I completely fell for Melissa Scriver Love's Lola, published in March 2017. The hard-core, fast-paced cartel drama hooked me quickly. American Heroin is the second novel featuring Lola, the eponymous character from the earlier novel. This series has you picking sides between bad guys in the drug peddling underworld of LA. This second book in the series takes the characters from the first but the plot is completely original. #netgalley

I‘m loving the color scheme on these two ARCs I recently received from #netgalley

Just judging these books by their covers, these are big winners for me!!!! 🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙

Lindy Ha! Coincidentally, they are also the colours of Edmonton‘s hockey team. When a friend‘s 12-year-old genderqueer offspring came over to create a sun-dyed shirt in my garden, blue & orange were the colours chosen. Was it because of the Oilers? I asked. No way. Just because the colours are great. 6y
