Review by Library Journal Review
Verdict: Clark is a good writer, consistently balancing her prose with standard English and authentic African American regional vernacular. However, she clutters her sequel to the popular Payback Is a Mutha with too many characters, and this results in a confusing plot. Recommended as a standard street lit title, but Clark fans may demand multiple copies. Background: Pregnant by the married Forever, Shan is desperate to start a new life for herself and her baby. She leaves Memphis for Detroit, but the street drama follows her as the now-incarcerated Forever is transferred to a facility in Motor City, and her brother, Peanut, is set on revenge against the thugs who did him wrong. Wires and women are crossed in a storm of action wherein many pay the game back with their lives.--Vanessa J. Morrison, Drexel Univ., Philadelphia (c) Copyright 2010.
