Crimson Footprints

review 1: A young boy searches for his place in the world while a woman struggles to change her life in Crimson Footprints II: New Beginnings by Shewanda Pugh. Tony is a young boy growing up in an orphanage. Tony decides to runaway to look for his father’s family. After hitchhiking 1500 miles Tony finally finds the house he has been looking for but what will happen once he knocks on the door. Deena Tanaka is overwhelmed after seeing the young boy that is a reflection of her late brother. Deena immediately wants to make Tony a permanent resident in the Tanaka home. Tony’s arrival will soon change the Tanaka family forever.Lizzie Hammond is still a prostitute on a path of destruction. Lizzie has given up until she finds comfort and safety in an unlikely candidate. Kenji Tanaka can... more’t help wanting to save Lizzie. As he gives her a shoulder to cry on their bond begins to grow and for once Kenji does not back down for what he wants.What I Didn’t Like: The interior layout of the book made it difficult to read in some areas. The print was very small. What I Did Like: This sequel proved to be better than the first. I was happy the author focused more on Lizzie’s character, which helped me to better understand her. This book had more drama, suspense and was very entertaining from start to finish. The characters were well-developed and the author gives readers a more in depth look into the Hammond and Tanaka families. I cannot wait to read the finale in this series. I recommend this book to others.This book was provided by the author for review purposes.Teresa BeasleyA&RBC Reviews4 Stars=Great Page Turner
review 2: Beginning a few years after the end of the previous novel, Crimson Footprints II continues the story of Deena Hammond, Takumi Tanaka and their families. Although the book opens with a hitchhiking journey from Bismarck, North Dakota to Miami by the young Tony Hammond, it also focuses on Deena's sister, the irredeemable Lizzie Hammond, and Tak's brother, the irrepressible Kenji Tanaka. Both storylines are great. The author creates wonderful characters - this time around Tony Hammond is a show-stealer and near the end of the novel, a return appearance by a kinder, gentler Grandma Emma is a surprise. The rest of the story behind Deena's mother and father is revealed and also is a surprise. Even the hard-charging Daichi glows with a Mr. Miyagi-like transformation. Dialogue is once again snappy and sassy. And a reappearance of the villainous, Snow, brings some definite suspense. Really, really good book. I hope the author is not done with the Tanakas and Hammonds! less
