Plenty
by
Kelly K. Lavender
A violent tale of the vulnerable victim of a cruel, corrupt sheriff who fights back!
Camille White had been a rebellious teenager, a product of disinterested, self-absorbed parents. But after her father is sent to prison and her mother commits suicide, she is taken in by Grammy Barbara, whose steady patience and love turns the young girl’s life around. Inspired to help younger teens avoid her mistakes, overcome drug addiction, and escape similar unhealthy existences, Camille volunteers to be the teenage outreach coordinator for the police department, where she meets Grant Griffin, the son of the sheriff. Grant and Camille are on fire for each other, but his father is completely against their relationship, deeming Camille an unfit whore and addict and not good enough for his son. However, he quickly realizes he can use her weaknesses to further his corrupt activities and keep his son in line doing his bidding. But one night, Gordon Griffin goes too far, and Camille decides that enough is enough.
Plenty by Kelly K. Lavender is shorter length, hard-core novel of betrayal, cruelty, sex, drugs, and murder. The narrative is gritty, the action violent and messy, and many of the characters depraved. Camille, the people who try to help her, and even Grant suffer, including death, at the hands of the evil sheriff with so much power within his grasp. The author deftly connects the storyline dots and ties together a number of disparate plot points.
PLENTY is recommended for readers of domestic horror. Sensitive readers should be aware the content of the story includes suicide, suicidal thoughts, sexual abuse and assault, on-the-page murders and deaths, strong language, and other violence.
