Books In The Hood Reviews - K'Wan: False Idols - A Reluctant King Story

Number One Essence best selling Author, K'Wan returns with False Idols. False Idols is book two of the Reluctant King series. The novel takes place in New York City. Focussing on the remnants of the King family. A powerful and politically affixed family that at a time, sat at the apex of the "Monarchy".

The story primarily follows Sean King, known by his associates as Shadow. Due to the influence of his father, Chancellor King, and the tenacity of his mother, Maureen King. Shadow was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and a golden path to walk upon. Shadow was raised around love and family. Preceded by Millie, Ghost, and Lolli, Shadow is the youngest of his siblings.

Chancellor failed his own intentions of keeping his baby boy out of the family business. The death of his oldest son, Ghost. Accompanied by being framed for a high profile murder left the King family in shambles. With the King's assets seized by the government the family is left unstructured. Forcing Shadow to live a set of squalor unbeknownst to his royal roots.

The streets have been talking as Maureen, Millie, Lolli, and Shadow adjust to their new lifestyle. Word on the wire is that Ghost's death reeked of foul play, and Chancellor's arrest went against the code. Fingers point at Chapman, Chancellors brother, and his nephew, Monster. The regime switch is sloppy, and questionable, but business is business. The Lords of the Monarchy saw fit to get rid of Chancellor. But have doubts trusting his conniving, less experienced brother. Only time will tell how Shadow, and his best friends, Pain and Fresh handle this.

False Idols is a page turning tale of organized crime and street justice. K'Wan builds a dynamic setting that allows an inclusive cast of characters to thrive.
