Harlem on Lock

De: Karen Williams

Narrado por: Katherine Dollison

Harlem is a beautiful, smart, and funny 17-year-old. She lives in the projects with her drug-addicted parents. They are so far gone that Harlem must fend for herself and at times do a little hustling of her own to feed their habit.

As if things can’t get worse, Harlem’s world is turned upside down when her mother dies from a drug overdose and her father pulls the ultimate betrayal by prostituting her. Harlem is pushed into an adult world and into the hands of a crime and drug lord named Chief, who gives Harlem every luxury she has ever dreamed of, and more pain and suffering than she can stand.

Things unfold when an old crush named Savior and the crime lord Stuckey show up. A war over turf is waged between Stuckey and Chief. Harlem finds herself in the middle, leaving her to once again depend on the strength she has inside to find a way out.

Harlem on Lock is a story of love, revenge, and redemption.

From hell to paradise

This book was very good .The narrator was on point.I only stop listening when I slept.This little girl with both parents strung out on heroine .Her father was a low down dirty dog.He hurt his daughter. after her mom died which was his wife overdosed. She went through a lot of things even after running away from her dad.She ran into a snake. This story kept u wanting more.I truly enjoyed it.

It was good

Good book from beginning to end. It kept a decent amount of twist and turns that I enjoyed

decent

Good read I wish she could of got from under Cheif sooner and was able to live a little. Could of end much better.

wow

It's a good read but Karen stories be dark, if you can handle it.

Unexpected

This book was great. The title sent me into other thinking. The twist was a good one. Just because you are from the projects, you can still have big dreams and make them come true.

Great Read

the only thing I will say is that I did not like how dinky the author made Harlem I do not believe that any person could be that naive it was like as soon as she get to the point where she's out or could be out she chooses to stay or when someone tells her to do something that is actually to help her she does quite the opposite I have never

Disturbingly good

Harlem went through a lot in her young life and her suffering was excruciatingly difficult to stomach at times. It was written so vividly, my hat goes off to the author for the realism. Good book.

Enjoyed this Book

I enjoyed every word, I would recommend this book, no stop action. This book will definitely keep your attention.

awesome audiobook

loved it and would recommend it to my friends for sure. this was very good

I hated this book

I hated this book from start to finish because for millions of women around the world this story is probably to close to truth than fiction. Any man who derives pleasure or some cheap thrill from the treatment of this character is a sick ass bitch ass punk ass man.
Even though I thought the lead character was betrayed as a weak woman, it is foolish of me to think that every black woman would be strong or stronger than her.
For those of you who say that weak ass line "Don't hate the player...", you are promoting a slave mentality that informs you of your powerlessness to do anything about it.
So why didn't I stop listening to the book? Because I felt I would be turning a blind eye to something that is actually happening to black women every day in this country. Although some of what I heard seemed a little unrealistic, like the fact that this character seemed to still enjoy sex without much consideration for the violence she suffered under her father's hand, it is not far fetched that these types of abuses happen frequently in our world.
I found no pleasure in listening to this book but I stayed with it because there are women out there who need men who feel empathy for their humanity. Wake the fuck up you punk ass man and treat your woman with some dignity.
