Description
BRIEF SUMMARY
The residents at ParkCrest View is a community where
drama seems to be the norm for these residents. With each volume the
author creates, we get to know a few more residences and watch as their
life unfolds. Though we are reading about the residents, the story
mainly revolves around Jazzlyn and her friends. The main characters in
this story are Jazzlyn, Trevonne, Darien, Tyson, Jevon, Sherica, and
Trendi aka Trenton.
THOUGHTS
Vol. 1
In volume 1 we met
and got to know Jazzlyn . She resides at ParkCrest View. She also lives
with her lazy, won't find a job, always out, and sneaking boyfriend
named, Darien. Unable to put up with Darien anymore, Jazzlyn makes a
choice. Along with Jazzlyn's drama, her best friend Trevonne has a
secret of her own that might ruin her relationship with Jazzlyn. This
volume was about getting to know the characters and the secrets lurking
below the surface, friends betraying each other, boyfriend not acting
right and meeting someone new.
Vol. 2
Jazzlyn has made her
choice in regards to Darien, but she also finds herself having feelings
for Tyson. Tyson is new to ParkCrest View and although he's white, he
keeps his background guarded. This volume is also about confronting an
ex and friends, as what's done in the dark finally comes to light. We
also got to meet more of the characters of ParkCrest View.
Vol.3
In
volume 3 while getting into the swing of new romances and new
relationships forming, something violent happens to one of the residents
of ParkCrest View that has everyone coming together. They all band
together to help but not without drama unfolding.
Vol. 4
In
volume 4, it's all about meeting the family and first impressions.
Jazzlyn and Tyson is trying to further their relationship, however,
Jazzlyn's family is not too pleased when they meet Tyson. Also, the
other residents are trying to move on after a tragic act.
This
wasn't a bad story for me; I definitely felt I was reading the hood
version of Melrose Place, which isn't a bad thing. I thought the
characters were interesting and periodically we get to read different
story lines as it pertains to each character. The one thing that
disappoints me a bit about Tyson and Jazzlyn's relationship is that I
wanted more from them physically. Though I am enjoying the story, drama,
and relationships, I'm not sure if I will be reading volume 5. I would
like to see a conclusion to the residents; I think everyone has had
their share of drama.
