Escorting, hustles, and scams were choices that Star made all on her own, but she would have never guessed that such decisions were going to land her in prison; serving time for two murder convictions and drug trafficking. Yet, in Volume VIII of the Femistry series, Star has been blessed with the opportunity to plea her innocence before the court yet again. Her sister, Tricey, is at every court appearance, praying for a miracle as she suffers through litigation in her own life between her loving boyfriend, Blood, and her jealous baby’s father, Amiel.
Victoria is fighting her own battles as well, as she struggles with the demons of addiction. Her mind is so far in the clouds that she isn’t concerned about finding out who her real father is, nor does she realize that she is being thrown amongst the investigations secretly going on amongst Blood’s organization.
With the addition of Lyric and James’ continuous lifestyle drama, Bang is a world wind of disloyalty, treachery, and drama. Lyric, Star, Victoria, and Tricey are back with the same fight, femininity, and fierceness. Friendships will be tested and there will be confirmations of faith. Will Star be found guilty? Will Vic find out who her biological father is? Find out how this tornado of trickery, suspense, and treachery unfolds in the newest edition of the Femistry series!

About the author
Jessica N. Watkins
82 books1,167 followersAuthor of Urban Chick Lit, Erotica, and Contemporary Urban Fiction... Jessica N. Watkins was born April 1st in Chicago, Illinois. She obtained a Bachelors of Arts with Focus in Psychology from DePaul University and Masters of Applied Professional Studies with focus in Business Administration from the like institution. Working in Hospital Administration for the majority of her career, Watkins has also been an author of fiction literature since the young age of nine. Eventually she used writing as an outlet during her freshmen year of high school as a single parent: “In the third grade I entered a short story contest with a fiction tale of an apple tree that refused to grow despite the efforts of the darling main character. My writing evolved from apple trees to my seventh and eighth grade classmates paying me to read novels I had written about kids our age living the lives our parents wouldn’t dare let us”. At the age of twenty-eight, Watkins’ chronicles have matured into steamy, humorous, and realistic tales of women's literature. She hopes that The Epitome of Femistry series will successfully emulate ideal femininity while tackling stereotypes, familiar heartache, and relatable distress in a humorous, sophisticated, and erotic fashion.

Hooked
I read all of the love, sex, and lies books in a week. They're addicting and I could not put them down.

This installment was so good and the whole time I was clutching my pearls!!!
My favorite passage:
BLOOD
I could see the smirk on John’s fat ass face when I pulled into the lot of the forest preserves. It was past eleven at night, so the Dan Ryan Woods were empty and dark. But, from the headlights of my truck, I could see him leaning against that dirty ass pickup truck with his hands in his pockets. Them jeans had to be Wranglers or something- shit only old white dudes wear. “The hell took you so long?” This motherfucka sounded like he was forcing out every word, each word sounding like it was damn near his last. He coughed every five minutes, and every time it was like he was hacking up a lung or some shit. “Me and the misses had a big day today. You know that.” Then I smiled. He hated when I smiled like wasn’t shit wrong. “What’s the word? Why did you wanna see me?” John was the Chief of Police. I had been paying this motherfucka a lot money to keep the people off me since I got out of Stateville. Obviously, he wasn’t doing his job. “You know why I wanna see you, motherfucker,” he told me with a laugh. “Stop trying to kill my cop. What are you thinking?” Even though I told him, “I don’t know what you’re talkin’ about,” I couldn’t hold back my grin. “You know exactly what I’m talking about. You’re trying to kill Devin. You’re lucky those motherfuckers have bad aim.” Yea, I had been trying to set Devin up to get murked, and it was pissing me off that his detective ass had the skills to dodge bullets. John saw my guilty smirk and shook his head. “I told you that I would get those undercovers out of there. Just give me some time.” “It’s taking you too long. I pay you to keep shit like this from happening.” “You’re right. That Fyte started this undercover operation without my consent! But as soon as I found out, I told you.” “But that was weeks ago and these motherfuckas still around. Lucky for me, Vic was smart enough to Houdini that nigga. But this shit ain’t cool, man. They done had Trevor and NeNe locked up for weeks trying to get them to snitch. Devin know my hands ain’t dirty, so he still tryin’ to set me up to make ‘em dirty. This nigga next to me frontin’ everyday! Iyana in my house being phony with my bitch…” “That’s what an undercover operation is! Give me time to end this. I know you pay me to keep your hands clean, but can I keep my job and stay off the fuckin’ news?! I gotta end this in a legitimate way. Fyte fucked up when he went behind his undercover’s backs and scooped Vic. Thankfully, Vic was smart and got that stupid ass Detective Gachett on tape. I can use that as leverage to drop this, but you gotta be patient. I can take care of you, but I can’t get you off for murdering cops.” I didn’t have anything to say, because I couldn’t promise him shit. And buddy knew that. “C’mon on, Blood.” He was begging me. He put his hands on my shoulders and spoke to me low and sternly, like a father and a friend. “I put in that good word for Star with the judge for her sentencing…” “She shouldn’t have been found guilty anyway!” “But I did that. And now you have to do this for me.” “I don’t have to do shit! I pay you to do this! CPD, FBI, all them motherfuckas; I pay you to keep the alphabet boys off me, man!” “I have and I will! I’m taking care of it. I told you about the undercover operation. I told you about Trevor and Nene, and I am making sure that they don’t snitch and that they get out. I’m taking care of you. And I can keep taking care of you if you stop trying to put bodies in bags.” “Not bodies. Just one. And Imma keep trying to body bag that nigga unless you get him out of my camp… quick.”
