Product Description #1 bestselling author Nikki Turner returns with an explosive new novel about a woman at an emotional crossroads–and the men left in her wake.
Isis Tatum knows firsthand the way love can mess up a person. After all, she saw her mother drive a truck through the home of her father’s mistress before killing her dad. And ever since Isis was a teenager, her love life has been a series of disasters: Her first sweetheart was executed by the state of Virginia, and her next lover was sent to jail for murder. Now Isis is a successful jewelry designer, but she remains a failure with men. When she meets Logic, a Las Vegas high roller who treats her like a princess, Isis reckons she’s finally struck gold–literally. Logic sees to it that her custom pieces of jewelry are seen on the hottest rap stars and pro athletes.
But when this Mr. Right ends up in jail too, Isis starts to believe that she’s cursed, that she’s a true Black Widow. Always one to roll with the punches, she embraces her life and walks bravely down all its twisted paths, taking her business to unprecedented heights while letting the men who dare to get involved with her take their chances.
“Few writers working in the field today bring the drama quite as dramatically as Nikki Turner. . . . [She’s] a master at weaving juicy, ’hood-rich sagas of revenge, regret, and redemption.” –Vibe.com
“Turner [takes] street literature to the next level, further proving that she is indeed ‘The Queen of Hip-Hop Fiction.’ ” –UrbanPublicity.com

Nikki, you are a genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! April 29, 2008 13 out of 14 found this review helpful
You have did it again!! This book is the bomb!! You have all the issues and problems that most of us as women go through or have went through with no good men or men we think are good for us but end up being poison
Isis Tatum's life starts out average with a father, Ice, that she loves to death and her mother, Sandy who is totally devoted to her family. Infidelity and lies tear this once happy or so they thought family apart Isis floats through life meeting different men that teach her a different life lesson and most all end in tragedy or disappointment. I am not going to give away too much of this book becuase it is a must buy. My favorite book by Nikki is "Riding Dirty on I-95" but I don't know now, "Black Widow" may take the cake.....the ending was explosive and unexpected.....you may want to brush up on your reading of some of her past books because there may be a character ot two here you may recognize...I really hope there is a part 2 to this powerful story....I think Isis could definitely carry her own in a sequel....you have to get this book, it is a must have.....there has been a serious drought in the world of Urban Fiction....Nikki comes out swinging with this one!!!!!!!!!!
Not her Usual May 10, 2008 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I've read many of Nikki Turner books. Black Widow seems to have a good story line but the book ended abruptly. It was like she got tired and said let me end this. Hopefully there would be a (better)sequel.
Absolutely Amazing....Nikki Turner Left Me Wanting More April 30, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Well what can I say besides the woman writes nothing except fire....and that is exactly the best words to describe the Black Widow pure FIRE!!!!!!!!! I loved this book it had everything an amazing story needed to have in order to captivate the audience. I am seriously sitting at the edge of my seat waiting for Pt 2 because I am not through with Isis.
Ms. Turner you have never let me done and I can see why you considered this novel your baby.....because it was breath taking.
This was great! April 30, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book was awesome. I read it in 2 days, I could not but it down. Criminal Minds was my favorite book, but now Black Widow has taken its place. I loved how you started the book out. It made the reader want to know more and more about Isis. I really wished her mother would have thought things through before she did what she did. I am waiting on a part 2 from this book.
just ok.... May 22, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am a big Nikki Turner fan but this book let me down...I had been waiting for this and it just did not leave me wanting more. The storyline was good but the ending was not exciting. I felt like it was rushed..just did not have that Nikki Turner edge.
