Excellent read, Highly recommended.

This was a very good read. Keema in the end finally got what many feel that she deserved. But the way she lived is the same as many other women on the welfare system. It is so sad that some people have no choice but to learn their lesson the hard way. You can only get away with so much dirt before Karma comes to your doorstep.

This entire series was so good. Karma finally found Keema after all the death and destruction she caused she still didn't own up to her wrong. Glad Treasure got a second chance and vowed to get rid of the dysfunction she had grown up around hope she stays on the straight and narrow

Not as good as the other two but worth reading.

Still Grinding

I’ve read all three in a row& they make you want to keep reading. Things gets worse& more murder. Keema is surely off the hook!

I really enjoyed this series. It was very well written. Not too much and definitely not too little.

Cool because her daughter grows up but the ending was predictable and typical.

PROS: WOW! As if parts 1 and 2 weren't enough, this is her magnum opus. I eagerly read it in two days.

CONS: At times it was hard to keep up with who is double crossing who, and a few minor typos:

p. 142: change "wheel hair" to "wheelchair"

p. 153: remove comma from "Treasure, doesn't know"

p. 183: remove comma from "once I find out, Rasheeda and"

p. 213: change "who's head I wanted most" to "whose head I wanted most"

p. 222: change "head stone" to "headstone"

p. 231: change "wrong doings" to "wrongdoings"

The first two books in the trilogy were "the bomb," but this one was a little lackluster. I don't know if the author was in a hurry for this series to end or if she was tired of it, but her lack of "effort" is evident. Albeit a good story, plucking us down in the middle of a now 16-year-old Treasure, the story is too fast-paced and you can't sit back and enjoy the wild ride you might have been expecting. But, if you read the first two, you must read this one. The ending will truly surprise and might even sadden you.

Welfare Grind 3 was pretty good it was a good way to end this series even though the title had nothing to do with the story line. Keema despite everything that she went through she still chose greed over family and loyalty, Treasure who was groomed to be just like her mother was a force to reckon with on her own and she seemed to have learned a few lessons the hard way herself.

Wow this is definitely a book that you can't put down with such a shocking ending. I couldn't believe that all of the stuff that happened Kendall Banks is a great author

[Tiarra · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Brittney G · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg! Kendall Banks is a true beast!!!! I can't believe this is the ending! I have a love/hate relationship with Keema & Treasure!
