Do You like book Riding Dirty On I-95 (2006)?
Riding Dirty On I-95 by Nikki Turner is a good book. One reason is because the characters in this book seem so real and the characters come to life. They have to face everyday problems that a lot of people face. This book looks like it is a true story. The main character is Mercy, on her seventh birthday her father was killed. A little while after his death her mother became a prostitute and left all of her seven children in danger. Mercy was forced to separate from her brothers and sisters, moving from one foster home to the next. The last home she was in, she was raped by her foster-mother’s boyfriend. She tried to kill him and then was sent to a crazy home. tWhen she was 18 she was allowed to move out on her own. She thought that life couldn’t get any worse. But she was wrong! When she moved out on her own she faced even more problems, with her long lost sister, her niece, and her new boyfriend-soon to be husband

This wasn't one of Nikki Turner's best books. Which kind of surprised me because I loved her other novels. Riding Dirty almost felt like she had a deadline to meet and rushed it. The things that Mercy did really didn't coincide with the character that Nikki had built her up to be. As a street smart hood saavy chick Mercy(in my opinion) wouldn't have done alot of things she did even if it was for love. I never skip pages in her books but found myself skipping ahead trying to get back to the interesting parts. The reason I bought the book was based off of Nikki's name alone. The beginning started off pretty good with the drama of her losing her dad on her birthday but towards the middle it tapered off and never picked back up. I will read Nikki Turner again but I wouldn't recommend this book.
