I’ve read several books by Electa Rome Parks and was
thrilled when I finally got to meet her at the Black Authors and Readers Rock
Weekend in Bowie, Maryland back in October 2014. Of course, I couldn’t resist
having her sign all of my books and taking a few photos.
Anyway, in this sequel to Diary of a Stalker, Electa brings
to light Pilar’s past which gives the readers a good insight into why Pilar is
such a nut case. Pilar’s obsession with Xavier Preston, a celebrated author,
knows no bounds and extends to any and everyone he loves. This time, his best
friend Dre’ gets suckered into Pilar’s plan to teach Xavier a lesson after she
resurfaces as Milan. Although she has a new look after undergoing plastic
surgery, she’s still plagued by nightmares, destructive behaviors, and
psychotic episodes.
There were parts of this book that was very scary and downright
mean. Electa did an excellent job at crafting the characters and the dialogue
was spot on. Here are a few of my
favorite lines:
“I knew Xavier was a male whore, but I thought Miss
My-Shit-Don’t-Stink was decent. She absolutely was not going to have her cake
and eat it, too. Not on my watch. If I couldn’t have him, why should she?”
Well, crazy is, what crazy does! So, the question is whether
or not Xavier has truly learned his lesson? Somehow, I feel we haven’t seen the
last of Pilar!
