The World of
Author Erick S. Gray
Guns! Guns! Guns! I’ll say this, American does love guns—especially the AR-15. But why does this country love its guns so much? But first, I need to express my deepest condolences to the family members of children and adults who lost their lives in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York. I’m heartbroken and disgusted by these recent mass shootings where 19 children were brutally killed in school, and 10 Black folks were executed while performing a mundane task of grocery shopping. I ask myself, when will it end? Why are we the only country that suffers from this perpetual destruction? Not to say that mass shootings don’t happen in other countries, but it is a fact that the United States has had more mass shootings than any other country, where mass shootings accounted for under 0.2% of homicides in the U.S. From 1967 to 2019, there had been a record of 163 mass shootings in the United States.

OMG! Excellent Lyfe
OMG! Is the first thing that comes to mind. This is the 3rd book I read by Erick S. Gray and I would rate them all higher than 5 stars if could. My only disappointment with the story is that it had to come to an end. The story of Lyfe stirred so many different emotions in me. Mr. Gray did an excellent job of getting the readers connected to Lyfe, even if you're not familiar with his lifestyle. As I read I felt I understood why Lyfe made the choices he did. I was always rooting for him to come out on top. I felt his pain when he was going through turmoil. Lyfe was a product of the streets and a dysfunctional family but he got a chance to find love and experience another side of life. Deep down Lyfe is a good guy who made wrong choices or was at the wrong place at the wrong time. He is a perfect example of what a second chance at life can turn out like. I don't want to go on and give up any spoilers but don't pass on reading One Lyfe to Live. You will be scooped into Lyfe's world from the first page and taken on a wild ride right until the last page. You can bet the next book I read is going to be by Mr. Erick S. Gray.

Book Reading Sistah 5.0 out of 5 stars
Eric Does It Again! Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2006 Eric is truley a taleneted writer, and it was clearly evident on the pages of Booty Call *69. I love that he's able to write a female's voice and sound convincing. Being that I didn't read the original booty call, it was a brand new book for me, and i loved it! What's next, Eric? I need something now!!

Erick S Gray has done it again, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.Vince is a young man, who after staying on the right path his whole life, is forced to turn to the streets to make money after loosing his job post 9/11/01.Vince feels as of he has to do something, his "baby mother" Chandra is sweating him hard for cash. Once Vince is in "the life" he enjoys the fast money, and especially the women. Vince starts making money with childhood friends Tyriq and Spoon and thats where it all gets good. Although he is breaking his mother's heart Vince can't resist the call of the streets. Will Vince crave it all, and lose more than he ever imagined??
Women, drugs, murder, betrayals, investigations and a boatload of violence and drama lie within the pages of this book!! This book is THE BUSINESS!!!”
