Angelica’s Revenge is a very interesting
book written by Houstin Summers. This
book is mainly about two rival gangs
that do everything they can or have in
their hands for revenge against each
other not worrying if its taking
children’s life’s or their elders.
Josie also known as Angelica is
practically the main character of this
interesting book. She is stuck between
two worlds that hate each other with
passion with out her not even knowing
it. Josie and her brother Chris went to
look for vengeance because of the death
of their brother Treyvon. They want to
kill the rival gang member named Mario
for killing Treyvon in front of their
eyes when they little and for killing
their parents too. They don’t
understand that Mario also did what he
did for anger because Treyvon killed his
younger brother Manny. One day Chris
and Josie went to look for him at a
family party Mario had because it was
his abuelita Roseanne’s birthday. They
shot him at his abuelitas house and then
sped off but left Josie behind, Mario
shot her in the arm and she went
unconscious. She then appeared in
Mario’s house not knowing who she was or
what she was doing there. With lies
they kept her there because Roseanne
believed she was an angel that was there
to help both her and Mario. Mario and
her fell deeply in love but that was
against every deep rule they had because
she was African American and he was
Hispanic, also they were rivals. She
fell in love not knowing who she was or
her past. Mario gained a lot of enemies
from his own crew because they said he
preferred her then his own “raza.” She
later was brutally beat and shot by a
member of Mario’s crew named Essie. She
survived and later remembered everything
that’s when her anger came to her.
Mario was then confronted by Josie and
Chris, but Mario didn’t want to do
nothing because he knew he loved her to
death. Later police came and shot
Mario, Josie was hurt in the inside
because she knew she loved him too.
Mario died and Josie was sentenced to
six months in jail. When she was
released she met with her brother and
some members of her lovely Mario’s
crew. She didn’t get to be with her
love bird but she did keep something
very valuable from him, his son Mario
Jr.
