Solid CLOSURE NOVEL. Tracy was an amazing writer. This lacked the page turning drama of the first one however. The last 100 or so pages were a STRUGGLE to get through & the book was often slow throughout.

A captivating read. Though slow at times, I found the novel quite interesting. Tracy Brown is the only writer of urban literature who develops her characters and presents a detailed, entertaining story with each and every publication. She makes urban lit relevant and is a very talented writer. "Aftermath" will not disappoint - trust me!

This is my first time reading Tracy Brown and I have to say she did not disappoint me. I really didn't know if this book was going to be a mystery, thriller, suspense or a Christian book. There was thrills and suspense and sex. Aftermath also has some Christian content but not an overwhelming amount. Just some comments like some one saying a prayer and forgiving someone for their past. I felt it was portrayed in a pleasing way and not over bearing.
Aftermath is the story of Misa, Camille, Toya, and Dominique. Misa and Camille are sisters and Toya and Dominique are their friends. The story opens with Camille coming home to her house and knowing something isn't right. Her sister's car is there and yet all the lights are off. When she walks into the kitchen she sees her brother-in-law on the floor in a pool of blood. Camille goes looking for her sister thinking and worrying that the person who did this could still be in the house. When she finds her sister she is surprised to see her covered in blood and realizes that her sister shot her brother-in-law (BIL).
The story mainly focuses around Misa's crime and how it has affected everyone from her family to her friends. Her sister's marriage is in shambles and the death of Steven (BIL), does not help. Toya and Dominique have their own demons and problems they are dealing with. All find strength from each other and grow during this novel.
As I was reading Aftermath I was able to bring some of the story into my own life. My marriage is going through a similar one as Camille's. I related well to her as being hurt by a cheating husband. I was also able to relate to Misa and wanting to kill Steven from a mothers point of view. Toya and Dominique were two that I related to as some of my friends in real life. Being there to help me when I feel sad or hurt.
Aftermath shows you how having family and friends and god in your life can help you through the rough spots of your life. Family and friends are there to support you and comfort you. The language is at times vulgar, yet I know how sometimes people will talk when they are angry, frustrated, hurt etc. I was able to picture the women talking and the gestures they would use or even their facial features.

Aftermath was a page turner!! I really liked this book. It picks up right where Snapped left off with Misa sitting at the dining room table after murdering Steven. In this book, Frankie's sanity and emotional stability are tested through his changing relationships with Camille and Gillian, and much of his past is revealed testing his relationship with his mother. Toya and Dominique's stories were also a cliffhanger, but their issues are resolved more quickly than Camille, Frankie, and Misa's. The book focuses a lot on the trial, and I began to question whether Misa should go to jail for her crime. Tracy Brown did an excellent job concluding the stories of all four women. These were the first books that I ready by Tracy Brown, and I will check her book list to pick another one. Aftermath is definitely a must read, especially if you read Snapped.
