KAPOW Bad Girls Edition

Looking for a fun, quick read then check out Kapow: Bad Girl edition. Seven authors, seven shorts. I enjoyed these kick ass ladies and the stories they had to tell. I would call them villains with a cause. They had good reasons on why they were “bad” and what or who they were trying to help, just their methods of handling business is not per the norm. Who of us hasn’t wanted to kill a guy that is being abusive towards women? That’s just one of the stories. A few are from another realm all together. I would love to see Vibora by Jude Johnson as a comic book or illustrations. Her character made me think of Poison Ivy from Batman, like those two characters would get along and wreak havoc together. I think it would be fun to watch it play out. Landa Landa, though I understood what and why she was acting out, with Ebola being so current this story was way too real for me. She was a bad girl that I wanted to beat down. All stories a full of detail and help the reader to see the story unfold in front of them. I enjoyed that they were not your everyday happy ending, life is full of sunshine and rainbows kind of stories. Everyone has a little darkness in our lives we just don’t act on them. These ladies do. I liked that they were shorts instead of full novels. Just getting a glimpse into their lives was fun and I didn’t miss or need to know why they were the way they were I just accepted them for what I was given.

KAPOW Volume Two. Good Girls Edition

Kapow Good Girls edition is the follow up to the Bad girls. I was expecting or hoping for new stories and characters in these seven shorts but instead was given the flip side to the seven bad girls. Now, these stories are well written, full of detail just as the others were I was disappointed because I didn’t really need or want to know the other side. A few of them had scenes that were copied and pasted from bad to good making me feel like I had read it already which in many cases I had. The only flip one I did enjoy was Diamante who is linked to Vibola. Vibola is still pretty bad ass and I rooted for her until the end. Landa Landa felt like the author was trying too hard to make a good girl out of the other female in the story. The bad girl had done what she did for a good reason just went about executing it in a foul way. Her good girl friend storyline I felt was unnecessary. For me Good Girl was not my cup of tea. I had liked their kick ass bad side and didn’t need the flip story. It may not have been for me but I think there are many others that will enjoy the read.

"I love to swim, fight for the trees, and am a food lover who is driven by my passion for life. I dream that one day my stories will change the lives of countless teenagers and have them obsess over the world literacy can offer them instead of worrying about fitting in. Never sacrifice who you are, its in the dark times that the light comes to life."

Carlyle used writing as a healing tool and that is why she started her very own writers support event - SAIR bookfestival. http://sairbookfestival.weebly.com/ - "To be a helping hand for those who strive to become full times writers, editors, bloggers, readers and cover artists - its a crazy world out there you dont have to go it alone!"
