My Name is Venus Black
by Heather Lloyd is the story of Venus Black, who at the age of 13, committed a
crime which has her incarcerated until she’s 18. During her incarceration, her half-brother,
Leo, goes missing. After 5 and half years, she’s released, and she slowly tries
to rebuild her life, putting her past behind her and creating a new identity. As
her old life begins to remerge in her new one, Venus must find a way to truly
leave the past behind her in order to move forward. Will she be able to move
past her crime? Will she be able to find her brother after so many years?
Unfortunately, My Name
is Venus Black is a book I could not finish. With seven parts, 51 chapters
and multiple points of view, it became way too long and too muddled that I
found myself getting bored and not caring about Venus, her crime or her life
after incarceration. The book is marketed as young adult book which I don’t
like it’s why I couldn’t finish it as I’ve read a decent amount of young adult
books and was entertained. I cannot recommend My Name is Venus Black. The book started with a great idea, but it
didn’t live up to it.
My Name is Venus Black
