The Prada Plan 3: Green-Eyed Monster

The Prada Plan #3

by Ashley Antoinette

Leah has been trying for years to get rid of her competition, and all her crazy scheming has finally paid off—or so she thinks. Now that YaYa is out of the picture, she’s ready to step into her shoes and have the life she always dreamed of. The scars that she earned in the fire almost seem worth it if they mean she’ll finally be able to have all the money, the family, and most importantly, to have Indie’s love to herself.

There’s only one problem. Disaya Morgan isn’t dead. She survived the fire too, and she’s healing under the watchful eye of one very powerful woman who’s ready to help put YaYa on top. With her newfound connections, YaYa could have Leah taken out with the snap of her fingers—but that’s not good enough for her. The only way YaYa can battle the demons that are still haunting her is to finish Leah off herself. YaYa is out for blood.

There can only be one winner, and these two are on a collision course that could send one of them straight to hell.

Ashley Antoinette is back and better than ever with the third installment of The Prada Plan series. A case of mistaken identity left readers reeling at the end of part 2, but part 3 is a heart-pounding saga that will leave you breathless.

I hope this book would put an end to all the madness and just let indie and disaya be happy with their baby girl and not end all f***ed up like most of the books she writes do, and i also hope that this book would be the end of the series because i have a feeling that if miss ashley goes any further she end up f***ing this series (like how miss wahida clark is doing with her thug series) so please miss let this be the last book and pleaseeeeeee let it end on a good note. #teamindie&disaya"ya ya".

I'm a little disappointed in the plot of the story because who wants to keep reading about misery and strife in one persons life when a gate way to happiness is in front of them. The characters should have been retired with a happy ending.

This was good. There was a lot that happened that I didn't expect. Like Yaya succumbing to prescription pain medication addiction. I really thought she was gonna turn into Zaya. I thought the fire was gonna make her harder. But it really didn't.

She caused that fire, determined to make sure Leah went down by taking herself down with her. And when it didn't work, it made Yaya fearful. She wasn't afraid of facing Leah. She was afraid of the interim. She was afraid of the things Leah might do in the shadows. And the fear was what was driving her revenge. Yeah, she wanted to get her back for the things Leah had done to her, but she also knew Leah wouldn't stop as long as she was alive. So her whole motivation was to kill her.

Then Yaya finally gets the chance and realizes she doesn't want to be responsible for the life she was about to take. And in that moment of debate, Leah does what Leah does best; take advantage of people's kindness because she has none.

Now my boo Indie is at the alter waiting for Yaya, and once again she disappoints him. He hates that he loves her so much. They are never on the same page for long.

He should know something ain't right though. He had a damn heart attack while Yaya was burning in that fire. Are they so disconnected that he can no longer feel when something is wrong?

I cried when Indie got to the church and Chase was on the steps waiting. Indie apologized and they hugged. They really love eachother. It made me happy that Chase loved and respected Indie enough to swallow his pride, even though he was the one who was wronged, so he could show up for Indie.

This one was really good. Her writing is phenomenal. It just is. It's not just the plot itself. It's the way she lays things out. That tension that she's so good at creating is the main thing that keeps me hooked. I be so stressed out I have to take breaks. But also, I have to know what's going to happen.

UPDATE! I kept my original rating of 5 stars, but reading again three years later left me with questions I feel like I should have had when I read it the first time. Like why did everybody just forget about the baby Leah was supposed to be having?

i cant wait til this book comes out i have read part one and part two. cant wait. i am getting so excited.

[Brandi]

hope it answers my questions and the outcome is in the favor of Disaya, Indie, and baby Skylar.

I usually don't write reviews, but I felt the need to with this one. I read the first two in the series and loved them. This one just didn't do it for me. I felt like, overall, it was a good story, but it lacked the passion and sincerity that the first two had, and the added fact of waiting forever (two years) to get it after it was repeatedly pushed back was a recipe for disaster. This book should have just given Indie, YaYa, and their family the happy ending they've earned, and let them be. I'm debating about reading the fourth one because even though I do like Ashley's (and Jaquavis) books, I feel like she's dragging out the series to make a dollar because it doesn't seem like she's no longer giving the series her full attention to make it great.

Prada Plan 3 picks up where PP2 left off. The question of how Leah was going to pull off pretending to be YaYa was finally answered. Leah is in the hospital healing from burn wounds but won't allow anyone in the room to see her while YaYa is in Italy under Zya's care. Things are revealed and YaYa makes her way back to Indie, while her wounds may have healed, there is major damage mentally. This book was very correctly titled as Green-Eyed Monster because YaYa turns into a new revenge fueled, power hungry woman, and stoops to new levels. I was very disappointed in that the series wasn't wrapped up with this installment. The book startly off flawlessly, but about half way through things took a turn, and became a little slow. I managed to push through and it definitely picked back up again, only for us to be hit with the last line of the book stating: "The Prada Plan 4 coming January 2014". Overall the book was a good read, I just couldn't connect with YaYa's character this time around. No one else changed this time around, but I felt the biggest connection with Indie. He has a very deep and strong love for YaYa, which caused me to want to jump through the book and slap some sense into YaYa's scary behind. I will be reading the next installment because with the way it ended, I see major things happening next time around. If you have read the other books I recommend reading this one. Just make sure you don't go in expecting YaYa to be the same loving and naive girl she was before the fire.

3.5 Stars Rounded Up

Indie said it best… “That Leah shit getting old.”

This was basically another installment in the ongoing war between Yaya and Leah. And trust me, it didn’t stop in this book. Or did it? I have no clue so once again I have been suckered into reading the next book!!! Yes! A cliffhanger!
I will say Leah does not get much of a voice in this book so you are spared from a lot of her sociopathic tendencies.
On the other hand, you get a whole lot of Yaya and she is not the same. Hell, with all she’s been through you can’t expect that though. So yes, all the events of her life come crashing down on her emotions and it’s interesting how it all plays out. You’ll either be super sympathetic or grow to despise her.
So yes, I wanted to quit this book multiple times, throw the book across the room and knock the characters out at times but I kept reading. At this point I need to know what happened after that super explosive end scene so Prada Plan 4 it will be for me.

I wasn't impressed at all! the book was great in some parts, and lacking in other parts. Like I said before if this book had came out a few years back, then I believe that it would have had a greater impact on me. By now I have read some great books, books that have made an impact on me...I don't want to have to keep waiting and waiting to see what happens next!! I thought that Prada Plan 3 would be epic, one that I can add to my favorites & I can't say that at all. For me, Disaya's drug addiction was drawn out to the point where I started skipping pages. I hated that she was always depressed, and moody. I understand that the traumatic experience she went through would change anyone, but it seemed like that was the main focus of the story.

I believe that the author could have went the other way with this story and then it would have been a 5 star BANGER! I thought that she would have went into the direction, but I understand that this is her creation...I really hope that part 4 will be much better than this one!

Once again Ashley Antionette did not disappoint, however, I got to waait until Jan. 2014 to find out who really dies, Leah or YaYa. As of now Indie was left at the altar waiting for YaYa not knowing she and Leah are in the water fighting for each of their lives. I hope YaYa survives. I think I'm in love with Indie myself. LOL!

[Ronda Allen-bonner · Rating 3 out of 5]

I thought the book was OK... I so love the way everything came out but I wish that this was the last book... So now we have to wait another year or so to find out what happens to the remaining characters... Hands down I live the authors work but I'm ready for an end to this story!

cant wait for this book to drop..

I can't wait unto the third prada plan comes out one and two was great

[jazzmin · Rating 1 out of 5]

Lackluster. Let's act like this book never happened. It's the worst book in the series.

[Eriel Lawson (YT: eriellawson) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yaya don’t want no smoke with Leah fr lol

[ReadMeAlone]

At this point I’m just looking for Ethic. It’s entirely too much unnecessary stuff going on. YaYa has chance after chance to off Leah yet she keep “saving her” 🙄

[Erin Rae · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okayyyyy Yaya “Queenpin” 🤣🤣🤣 Zya had bossed her all the way up! & thennnnn then Yaya, girllllll did some shady questionable shit towards the end of the book.

That damn Leah 😡 girl really had 9 lives lol

Indie bruhhhhh!

Book 4 here I come Ethic lmao

[Jazz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good..... But not great.
I have waited a long time to finally read Prada Plan 3, and I was some what disappointed. This book was very predictable. I love the connection and ever lasting love between Indie and Ya Ya. But damn can they get a break. Chase has emerged has one of my favorite characters. Hopefully Prada Plan 4 will be the last and best book in this series.

[Chandra · Rating 4 out of 5]

I just want to jump thru this book and knock Leah off myself since Yaya cant seem to do it. She should have taken Zya up on her offer bc she knows she does not have it in her to kill....Now look what happened!!!!!

I enjoyed it anyway!

[Jamie · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was VERY disappointed! This saga needs to end...

[Danita Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was a good read, but got kind of slow after awhile. But I still like Ashely's books. Can't wait 2 read part four.

[Fatimah · Rating 3 out of 5]

The part that got me was when Elaine had that conversation with Endie!! She was speaking nothing but facts and we gonna stop making excuses for Yaya and Leah sooner or later it’s time to effin grow up! Can’t continue to always use the past as an excuse if y can do something about it then do something about it. I’m late to the party with this series but need it to be over soon…

*Sad face*

First off, let me make it known that this book was well written (minus some of the minor grammar issues). I was about to give this novel 3.5 stars until I read that disappointing ending, but anyways. As a lot of others have mentioned, this novel doesn't compare to the others in the series. For me, it didn't pick up until 22% in, but it's highly understandable. They had to get well and all of that jazz before the drama began. Yaya's inner turmoil was highly believable but I still disliked it lol. Indie's denial was believable as well but I think Ashley went too far with it. I still love Chase till this day. He's so loyal. I was extremely tired of reading Leah's name. Yaya could've focused on something else other then that. Leah's name was brought up many times without her being present in the chapter. That kinda irked my soul and let me not get on that ending. Just like the last novel, this book could've been the last one but that would be too good to be true though. I have faith in Ashley. She's a phenomenal author so I'm sure the next book will be better than this. And I HOPE AND PRAY that it's the very last.

[Valerie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have loved The Prada Plan series from the beginning. YaYa and Indie's love affair has always been off and on and explosive. TPP3, Indie and YaYa's love affair was not the focus. The focus was mostly on YaYa's obsession with Leah and getting revenge. Although that in itself makes the story better, I think that there was just too much emphasis on YaYa's bad decisions based on her fears and obsessive behavior resulting from surviving the fire and finding Leah.

I kind of felt like the story was filled in with YaYa's ongoing mind games with herself.

With that being said, the book did have some very good parts that made me want to finish the book, but it took too long to build the climax.

I hope that Part IV will be a better read and not filled with unnecessary baggage...

****WARNING: MORE OF A TIRADE AND VENT THAN A TRUE REVIEW...SPOILERS INCLUDED****


The more I read this series, the more pissed off I become! How tf did these brawds drive off a damn bridge at top speed, fight to the death of them in the car, Yaya dumb ahh...you know what....she shoot Leah, get out in time, but her dumb butt go back to help the one person who has caused much chaos in her life, even touching her child....go back to help and now she shot! Then Indie waiting at the church with the family BUT... not a single soul witnessed the accident, no peoples on the road, no truck driver, no boat with a damn pirate!!!? And he text her to come to the church but he never received the call she made from the car during the antics with Leah!!!? I AM SO DAMN SICK OF THIS SERIES!!!!!!!!!

[Lisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really????

Okay I've read this latest novel in this series and honestly I am ready to see it end! Leah Richards is not Houdini and should either be dead or locked up by now. Disaya should now have herself together and Indie should have realized a long time ago that Ya Ya has issues and either you're going to love her flaws and all or leave her alone. To me this really should have ended the series but there's a 4th novel coming out!! All I can say is enough already, let someone have a happily ever after or let it end. Too much in this one was over the top. I kept thinking as I read are these people really that naïve!

I guess its wait to see how the author raps up the series!
