Title: Accused
(A Retaliation novel #2)
Author: Yasmin
Shiraz
Genre: YA –
real life
An easier and
more peaceful life seemed to be destined for Ahmed and Tashera when they left
Washington, DC and entered Georgia Atlantic University. But when Ahmed is
accused of a crime that he didn't commit and begins to be tried in the media,
his popularity plummets, his self-esteem suffers, and his dreams of playing
college basketball disappear.
Meanwhile,
there is a serial rapist on campus who has been attacking freshman girls at
record numbers and forcing them to keep silent. As Tashera learns about the
girls, she begins to close in on the rapist. But is the attacker too crafty to
be caught? Will the state prosecutor ignore key evidence to instead focus on
the fame that comes with convicting a high profile basketball star?
Tashera is beyond
stressed as she divides her time between trying to find enough evidence to
clear Ahmed while at the same time stopping the rapist who roams the campus of
Georgia Atlantic. Ahmed and Tashera's journey into a new life away from
home is more challenging than they ever thought that it would be.
An Amazon Top 500
Book Reviewer had this to say about Accused:
"I recommend
it for teen readers... Shiraz has a knack for writing in the voice of teen
characters without having to resort to obscenities. It's an important and
worthwhile YA novel."
