Another one of Glenn Langohr’s stunning memoirs–a brave, unflinching account of life in prison~ Prison Killers Book 4

The California Prison System houses a mixture of Mexican cartel members, Mexican mafia, Bloods, Crips, and thousands of other street gangs fighting for control and the author turns this story into a pulp thriller of true crime.

The author of Underdog, Glenn Langohr, takes you on a journey back into prison as he remembers a prison riot days before his release date where he left his friend on the way to Pelican Bay.

The story follows the author years later as he visits his friend in Pelican Bay during a prisoner developed hunger strike against sadistic and cruel guards who get off on their isolation and enjoy adding violence to their torture.

A spotlight on the flaws at how Pelican Bay determines gang validation and solitary confinement.

“With lazer-like precision Glenn Langohr lays bare the festering under-belly of our criminal justice system in a driving, graphic narrative that somehow finds the humanity in this most inhuman setting.” Phillip Doran, T.V. Producer and Author

Here’s what the reviewers have to say:

In his latest novel, “Underdog,” Glenn Langohr takes B.J. back into the dreaded Supermax at Pelican Bay, California’s toughest prison. At first he’s just fighting to survive, hopelessly outnumbered by Mexican and black gang members, but then he goes back to try and help his friend, still inside, ferociously battling to change the penal system. And ex-con Langohr can describe the hell of life inside better than any other writer. His vivid passages on just surviving in prison describe a nightmare we’d rather not know about.

*******

After having spent 22 years as a criminal defense attorney, I heard stories like this all day and all night from the majority of my clients. Rarely in my life, have I gotten a perspective as true and accurate and emotionally charged as was derived from my reading this book. The author, with no formal education nor journalistic training, has somehow managed to convey the facts, Circumstances and raw emotion into palpable words that hit home with the reader. I highly recommend this book!

*******

I’m amazed by all I have learned from someone else’s life. I can’t get enough of these books, seriously! I will be re reading them all again soon I can guarantee that!

*******

This book is very well written, fast paced and emotional. My applause to the author for humanizing the prisoners and bringing attention the snakes in the grass that run our prison system. I will be getting all his books very soon! Thanks for a fabulous read sir and God Bless you always.

*******

`Underdog’ was well written and very informative. It also held your attention very well because it was very intriguing and written brilliantly. Glenn knows what he’s talking about from first-hand experience and it shows in his writing. There is a certain flair in the writing of a book if the writer truly experiences it. I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to read more from Glenn Langohr and see what other stories he has to tell!

I’m not scripting my life anymore.

I’m living it.

I’m done with the God of all Hotties.

I’m going to give my heart to the boy who I think deserves it.

The boy whose kisses are hotter than molten lava.

The boy who offered me the key to his heart.

The boy who asked me to Homecoming in a big, sexy way.

There are so many things to look forward to.

Parties at the Cave. Homecoming festivities. Drama Tryouts. Shopping trips to NY.

But things aren’t always as perfect as they seem.

I find out that my best friend has been keeping a secret from me.

Not that I can blame him.

I have secrets too.

But, for now, I’m going to pretend I’m just a normal girl.

I’m going to pretend he’s not still out there.

And this time, I might not get away.

This hot, sweet, sexy boy.

So I’m going to stop trying to script my life and just live it.

Because who knows how long I have left.

Book Description

The saga of Keatyn continues. I admit this book made me feel a little old. Get on with what didn’t grab me is that I really wanted Abby to see her daughter. I know it is important to safety, but maybe a secret weekend or sleepover in NYC. I longed for that relationship a little. Sometimes you want to fall, and I did but three were a few too many boys in this one. I sometimes had to think to remember who was the prince and who was Dawson so I hope I am alone in that confusion.

Keatyn has no problem with being away from home, blends in, makes friends and boyfriends. She is all over the place! I wanted more stalker though. Made me wish for her to be in California again. I enjoy Hollywood stars and cant wit to see what the next book is like. I am always wanting more boy crazy girls with Prada heels!

A Girl, a Guy, a Tournament and a Challenge

The Girl: At a time when most girls obsess about homecoming and high school prom, Rainy Dey spent her senior year caring for her dying mother. So when her father drops her off at college to start her freshman year, his words of advice to his bookish daughter are to start acting like a young person and finally have some fun.

The Guy: College senior, Aaron Donavan, aka Mr. Hot-and-Knows-It, is President of the Clubhouse, a social club for the college’s most wealthy and popular guys. Aaron can have any girl on campus except the one who challenges and excites him the most—Rainy Dey.

The Tournament: Every year, the senior members of The Clubhouse engage in a golf-inspired tournament to see who can sleep with the most freshman girls. When Rainy finds out about the tournament, she believes Aaron’s only interest in her is to score points by taking her V-Card.

The Challenge: Can Aaron convince Rainy that his feelings for her are true and that she won’t be just another notch on his tournament scorecard?

Have 2 more treats to add! They are notebooks and the book logo is the cover

You know sometimes you start “chapter 1” and BAM it hits you. You get it, feel it, want more of it! This is going to be a phenomenal book! I set up my average reading time and my Kindle says I can finish it in 4 hours Here goes! 

I can only say it was one of the most epic reads. WOW The entire premise was great, unique and enough to make me read on until I was done. I don’t like doing that when an author works so hard for so long, but sometimes you need it now.

The Katy saga is such a deep and emotional story. I know it had to be told, and it was told with such exquisiteness. *If that is not a word I made it one! 

 I loved her, her BFF Rolland “Rollo” and new friend Piper. Katy has had a rich and privileged upbringing. She is not at all spoiled. She has a few traumatic events. She finds her way through therapy back to a decent place. Rollo says “I miss the old Katy”

Katy replies “I know I promise she is still inside me somewhere, and I’m going to try really hard to find her”

Katy says powerful things and is not able to show the strong and powerful new improved Katy. When she meets Jared he is probably equally broken. One of my fave quotes “One day, I just want you to look at me with love in your eyes, despite my past, I want you to know every dirty little secret about me, and love me anyway”

Jared, his parents Dan and Patsy raise his sister Karlie who is a ballet dancer. He has a best friend Holden who is so hilarious when he fights with Karlie.

 The bond they share is amazing. The healing they share is even better. I hope that you read it and enjoy the journey that I did. When you read something that leaves you touched you must share it. This was so touching and so real in more ways than the plot. I enjoyed the tough parts as well as the tender parts. The author in my opinion is brilliant and I must share her with everyone. So get ready I will brag about her and shove the book at you until you read it, that is enough to fall in love with Micalea Smeltzer!

and I want YOU to love it TOO!
