Girls From da Hood 7
Urban Books' popular Girls From da Hood series is back, bringing readers more dramatic tales about the lives of some tough, resourceful women who can hold their own when things get rough on the streets. This time, Redd, Nikki-Michelle, and Erick S. Gray deliver the stories with their trademark flair.
Like a hood-rich Bonnie and Clyde, Candy and Raynail have their hands on all of the drugs that run through the veins of Westwood. When Raynail is set up to take the fall for a crime he didn't commit, Candy goes on a mission to take down everyone involved.
Baby and G.G. should be thinking about high school, but their minds are definitely not on studying. These two are tight like sisters, and they have each other's backs no matter what--until Baby comes up with a plan that involves blackmailing someone to kill G.G.'s man. When these two cousins clash, the shock wave will be felt throughout the hood.
Vix Dixon is an upscale ghetto-girl that no man in his right mind wants to cross. She's a predator who preys on the weak. Her mission? To have any man or woman she wants by any means necessary. Now, she's set her sights on her teacher, Alex Rodriguez, and he bites the apple instead of a bullet. By the time Alex realizes just what he's gotten himself into, hell on earth will have a different meaning for him.

It was a shame for this book to end! Authors Red, Nikki-Michelle and Erick S. Gray, goodness gracious is all I can say. Well Done!

Very interesting book and style of writing. Not my typical choice of reading, but it kept me entertained enough to complete it!

Free w/ Audible trial* Can’t tell you about the first or third story because I can’t stand the male reader’s choppiness. The second story is about a confident NY/Atlanta girl in lust with her teacher, Mr. Rodriguez. She knows her body is worth a lot and grew up rough, raped at gunpoint by 12. The wording always sounds off though, porny slang versus grave phrasings a lot of new writers can’t tell the tonal difference of (guilty of). Even consensual scenes are gross. Not only is it weird she makes the rapist leave his wife for her but she tells her mom about her sexual fantasies and intentionally steals her men. Does she want the sibling her mother refuses to have? We keep hearing the MC has a female lover who pays for her services but it’s always sporadic, mysterious. Likewise the descriptions of stepping over dead bums being like hood Xmas decorations. The living out of her car bits are interesting but it doesn’t sound like she’s hurting for money too much, eating red velvet cupcakes and getting hotels. This is one of those stories that has so much action it actually becomes annoying because it’s so unrealistic like a list of plot bombs connected in as few words as possible. Impatient, not as emotional writing because of it.

The second story by Nikki Michelle took me for several loops. It is very disturbing and so twisted that my friend and I had to read it twice once we got to the end because it was just…wow…what?!?

Some of this was hard to listen to, especially with the abuse of kids. Good stories otherwise, especially the abuse from the mother toward the daughter.

Girls From da Hood 6 was much better. That is not a joke. I actually enjoyed reading 2 out of the 3 stories in that book. This one? The first two stories didn't make any sense (beyond being offensive) and the third was boring. Makes me appreciate that not all urban fiction is the same!

This book was so good. The last book made me mad. I hope J rock and Erica get the pay back they deserve. I wish Samson didn't kill Baby. I wish GG and Chubbs didn't get killed. They were so cute. I can't believe Chubbs killed his brother. But if none of this didn't happen the story wouldn't have been so good. One of the best books I read tbh.

The first two stories were OK. My favorite was the last one by Erick Gray. His books never disappoint. I met him once and he could not have been nicer. I hope he continues to intrigue readers for a long time.

Great collection of shorts! I didn't like the second story though-it was rather sick to find out the truth. I should've known something was up since her "lovers" names were never mentioned until the end. Overall I enjoyed this book.

Um... I thought that the story with Baby, Samson, GG and Chubbs was pretty good. That is all I will say.
