Hello Readers! Welcome to the Book Blast for
Loyal: The Prequel To Retaliation
by Yasmin Shiraz!
In the prequel to Retaliation, brother and sister, Khalil and Tashera find themselves on different sides of loyalty. Khalil's loyalty to his gang threatens the loyalty he should have to his family. This book illustrates the dynamic between a brother and sister and shows their love, challenges and desire to be there for each other.
Guest Post Topic: Books, Quotes, Songs, Music That Inspired Loyal
Loyal: The Prequel to Retaliation was
inspired by my relationship with my brother whom I adore but don't always
understand his choices. Throughout my life, our bond has always been strong and
when I wrote Retaliation, I realized that the readers could gain something from
the 'loyal' relationship between a brother and sister.
My
brother and I are both big time music lovers. So, here are some songs that capture the
energy of my book Loyal.
- Big Brother by Kanye West
- Live in the Sky (Featuring Jamie Fox) by TI
- Holla If Ya Need Me by Trey Songz
- Heaven's Afternoon (feat. Meek Mill) by Wale
- Right Now (feat. David Guetta) by Rihanna
- I Wish by R. Kelly
- Juicy by The Notorious B.I.G.
- Roses by Kanye West
- Family Business by Kanye West
- Take Care (feat Rihanna) by Drake
