Review:
"A juicy ride through love in the hip-hop fast lane. The plot twists will make you wince and squirm, especially when you try to imagine the real-life characters who may have suffered such indignities!”
—Erica Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author, Bling
“A perfectly delicious, devilish brew of a tale that is absolutely addictive—I triple-dog dare you to try to put it down before you finish drinking in all that gossipy, backstabbing, juicy music industry goodness.”
—Denene Millner, New York Times bestselling co-author, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man and The Vow
“I know the life Aliya writes about. An incredibly captivating read, Platinum is a dead-on depiction of how love and hip-hop aren’t always able to co-exist peacefully, if at all.”
—Faith Evans, New York Times bestselling author, Keep the Faith
“Platinum is on the money—and behind the music—and rich with the heartbreaking politics of sex and love...an exciting and authentic new voice in fiction."
—Danyel Smith, author, Bliss and More Like Wrestling
“Platinum tears the roof off of what goes on behind the closed doors of hip-hop celebrity relationships, from the jaded wives, cynical journalists, and bitter jump-offs, and how they all interlink. It's a hard, harsh look at our industry—one that's impossible to put down."
—Cheo Hodari Coker, author, Unbelievable: The Life, Death and Afterlife of the Notorious B.I.G.
“With her award-winning reporting skills and superior writing, Aliya S. King's Platinum proves why she's one of the best storytellers of our generation."
—Mimi Valdes, Editor-in-Chief, Latina Magazine
“Platinum makes it clear that true loves goes beyond platinum albums and McMansions in the suburbs. True love can be tested by the industry. But not destroyed: It's forever; firm, indestructible and solid-just like platinum. You don't want to miss this book. And you won't want to put it down.”
—LaLa Vazquez, co-owner, Crossover Entertainment
