The Roof Is on Fire: Hell House 2
In this second installment in the Hell House trilogy, six fiery, larger-than-life characters compete to win $100,000 in an outrageous competition that sends drama levels through the roof.
The most memorable characters from Brenda Hampton’s bestselling novels come together in a house that could unite them—or destroy them. Roc Dawson from Full Figured , Chase Jenkins from Don’t Even Go There , Sylvia McMillan from SLICK , Jada Mahoney from How Can I Be Down? , Jamal “Prince” Perkins from Street Soldier , and Jaylin Rogers from the Naughty Series will attempt to put their overwhelming differences aside and calm their unique personalities. Without supervision, though, anything could happen inside Hell House—especially when there is $100,000 at stake.
In The Roof Is on Fire , the Hell House isn’t a joke anymore for the contestants who thought they could breeze through the challenge and carry on until the very end. The ladies continue to fight like cats and dogs, and the men don’t have much love for each other, either. In a place where saying one wrong word can get the loudmouth a hard smack across the face, there’s only one survival by any means necessary. A few contestants will be called out for their sleazy, jaw-dropping actions, and a bad decision can lead to one place—the front door.
Full of drama, with a hint of raunchiness and manipulation, The Roof Is on Fire is a temptation you won’t want to pass up. Who will be the last woman or man standing, or who will walk out, slamming the door behind them and screaming at the top of their lungs?

OMG! Brenda Hampton has done it again! In this second installment to the Hell House series she turns up the heat, maximizes the drama and keeps the readers on our toes. Day after day, these characters try to survive by any means necessary. I enjoyed it so I think you should buy it and make it a Hell House night!

For me not to be a "reality show" fanatic, I am drawn into this series enjoying the drama as it unfolds. Everyone has an agenda, strategy and/or plan to be the last one standing in Hell House. Nothing is sacred and shit is getting real...

This book was a lot juicer than the first one. I hope the third book exposes some dirt. That Chase is a dirty muthasucka and I know she will stare up some drama in the next book.

With only 5 house mates left, who will be the last one standing? This book is filled with drama, drama & more drama. It's a good read that's sure to keep you entertained.
