Sister Souljah, the New York Times bestselling author of The Coldest Winter Ever and Midnight, delivers her most compelling and enlightening story yet. With Midnight and The Meaning of Love, Souljah brings to her millions of fans an adventure about young, deep love, the ways in which people across the world express their love, and the lengths that they will go to have it.
Powerful and sensual, Midnight is an intelligent, fierce fighter and Ninjutsu-trained ninja warrior. He attracts attention wherever he goes but remains unmoved by it and focuses on protecting his mother and sister and regaining his family’s fortunes. When Midnight, a devout Muslim, takes sixteen-year-old Akemi from Japan as his wife, they look forward to building a life together, but their tumultuous teenage marriage is interrupted when Akemi is kidnapped and taken back to Japan by her own father, even though the marriage was consummated and well underway.
“There’s not one drop of inferiority in my blood,” Midnight says as he first secures his mother, Umma, and sister, Naja, before setting off on a global journey to reclaim his wife. Midnight must travel across three countries and numerous cultures in his attempt to defeat his opponent. Along this magnificent journey he meets people who change him forever, even as he changes them. He encounters temptations he never would have imagined and takes risks that many a lesser man would say no to, all for the women he loves and is sworn to protect.
I am disappointed with the book and confused how it relates to The Coldest Winter Ever. However, Ricky Santiago is mentioned one time thus adding to the confusion.
I can’t say that I would or would not recommend this book. If you are looking for the Coldest Winter Ever, this will disappoint, but if you read and liked Midnight: A Gangster Love Story, then you will probably like this story. I was just disappointed.
Thanks so much for this review. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read Midnight: a gangster love story because I think nothing will beat Coldest Winter Ever. I was also awaiting the movie to be casted and aired in some form or fashion- HBO, indie film, etc . Now I am curious, maybe I’d take a read of Midnight: a gangster love story and see if I’d be slightly curious to read this book.
I fell in love with Midnight in the first book! I love his character and the way he carries himself. I wish all young men treated the women in their like this way.
