Description

Can a gritty, dark, intense Horror Thriller be both suspenseful and meaningful? Yes, Plenty proves the point.

When Camille volunteers for the youth outreach program in the small town of Prosperity little does she know that she has put herself in harm's way. Sheriff Griffin, the program leader, and his son, Grant, lord over an empire of criminal activities ranging from - illegal drugs, robbery, murder, political corruption and pornography. In short order, Grant becomes Camille's lover and introduces her to life as a recreational drug user. After Camille weathers a brutal beating by Grant's disapproving Dad, she turns to her newly-widowed, fiery friend Jennifer for help. What can two downtrodden women do to rid a tortured town of its misogynistic Machiavellian sheriff and malevolent mayor? Plenty.

Plenty, the powerful flip side of Fifty Shades of Grey, captivates as a spine-tingling suspense novel about the risky yet all-important road to self-actualization and happiness. For readers who abhor the objectification of women and sex kitten or sex kitten-for-a-sadist dynamic, Plenty offers a plethora of promise. Plenty holds special appeal for resilient, smart, resourceful women who rescue themselves and the men who love them. Plenty infused with spice, a lot of naughty-never nice. Not for the faint of heart or for those seeking a slow, tame sleepy time story. Action-packed Plenty jets along at a jolting James Bond pace.

Can a gritty, dark, intense Horror Thriller be both suspenseful and meaningful? Yes, Plenty proves the point.

Advance Praise

"Plenty is a novel about love and corruption, friendships and salvation, the descent into hell and the effort to survive: as such, it's not for those seeking either a romance story or an easy leisure read.Indeed, readers who expect a novel filled with positives... will find it abundant, instead, with conflict, sexual and psychological angst, and the efforts of two women to change the course of their lives...At times readers feel they are in an emotional meat grinder; at other times, protagonist strengths come to rescue...Female readers seeking an antithesis to Fifty Shades of Gray with more dynamic, powerful female characters will find Plenty more than fits the bill."- 5* Review by D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"...A very good and interesting read. A look at how power in a small community can lead to corruption as much as it does in large metropolitan areas. Power corrupts and leads to one wanting absolute power which in the end leads to self destruction." 5*Review posted by Quentin R. Stewart, Jr.

"...The title of this book is pretty accurate, because there is PLENTY, plenty action, emotions, sex, violence, corruption and plenty twists and turns..." 4* Review by Romorror Fan Girl

"...My favorite thing about this book was the feeling of tension and suspense that filled me during the entire experience. The plot moves at a quick pace, steadily building until you're more invested in it than in your own life for that brief moment in time. The rapid-fire action will keep even the most easily-bored readers with plenty to occupy their minds and time. I'd read another Kelly K. Lavender piece any day." Review by Unabridged Andra

"I LOVED this book. As it is, ...it was close to perfect. Seriously, four and a half out of five...It kept me guessing and engaged. It was a short read BUT SO INTENSE! Everything that could go wrong for Camille, pretty much does. And yet, somehow, this is a must read!" 4.5* Review by shewhoreadsallthebooks

"...I spent a couple of days after I finished the the book thinking about how I was going to write this review...Despite its marketing, this was nothing like the FSOG trilogy. It was a lot better." 4* Review by Sorrel of longandshortreviews

"This is "the first book by Kelly K. Lavender that I read and can say it was a good story. There are twists and turns in the plot and a lot of action...Being an erotica writer, I was disappointed and that’s why I rated it a 4-star story." 4* Review by Liz Gavin

"...Plenty was a fantastic mix of mystery and modern day heroes...The pacing of Camille's story is a big part of what had me frantically turning pages to find out what happens next..." 5* Review by S. Terril (Librarian) aka librarynerdette

"Wow....I enjoyed this dark thriller. This is definitely not in my favorite genre but I was intrigued. This book did not disappoint."

I liked this story and how the writer developed the characters November 30, 2015

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I liked this story and how the writer developed the characters. There was a lot going on and a lot of domino effect going on in the book. Showing how small town corruption can lead to loss of life but also be over come by the community coming together. But mostly it is about a young lady turning her life around and coming out on top! Nicely done.
