Wow. What an interesting plot. I like that Ashley & JaQuavis managed to put a spin on the typical urban novel with an intricate plot and rather disturbing ending. With two leading male characters, it's amazing that I found it impossible to hate either one. Free was hot tempered and relentless in his demeanor. Britain was calm but vicious. I'm always pleased whenever I find a street novel that doesn't incorporate scenes full of blood and gore. Ashley & JaQuavis do a good job of relaying a street tale without completely unlikely circumstances and events. I am a big fan of Ashley & JaQuavis, I find that these two successfully write urban novellas without the foolish and unlikeable characters found in books by their colleagues like Teri Woods, Erick Gray, and Wahida Clarke (I love them but there's no depth to their books). I know quite a few people don't like urban lit, but it may be a result of all the ridiculously bad books many struggling "authors" self-publish. "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is a great introduction to urban lit and it is a testament to the fact that there are some talented African American writers who can write about "life" in the ghetto and incorporate hip-hop culture without completely disgracing the Black community - they can write about the other side, add a little fiction, and create something that is quite entertaining.
