This was a okay read for me.

This book to me was missing something it was dry. It had it's high points here and there throughout the story but for the most part the story failed me . I think that it needed more development and more structure. I really cannot explain what it was it just overall did not do it for me.

This was a little boring at times but held just enough to keep me reading. Quasym seemed like the last person to hold the throne because he was just too indecisive. It was like he needed someone to hold his hand and walk him through everything. He kept going on about how people wouldn’t give him a chance, he didn’t want to get in by doing Dan-D and almost messed that up. Like the next one want you to come take money out their pockets and give you something. He wasn’t strong enough to hold the top spot in my opinion. Quasym didn’t hold it down again in the end with Hova and Hova is going to be a problem that he will regret.
Zaria was cool she had her issues but they seemed real enough but she kept getting the short end of the stick. Cherie was just foul and from the beginning she was no good and what she did was all kinds of wrong but I guess it’ll come out later.
Devon seemed like a stronger character to carry the weight but he didn’t really get his shine. Yessenia needed to sit down somewhere with all her drama. That mess with her being in the house was silly, never understood why you'd step to the chick if she was with "your" man crap. If she didn’t want to keep the baby why even tell the man knowing full well she was married and she was the one who went after him.
It’s alright but it’s something about it that you can’t really connect with the characters to pull you in. Maybe the next one will be better.

This was a great soap opera type book to me. It had minor errors but the book is so good that I over looked them. Quasym & Zaria was the perfect couple even though Tianna (Quasym crazy baby moma) was always trying to do something to break them apart. Kareem & Cherie would have made a good couple if she had a mind of her own instead of always trying to please Tammy!!! I could not stand Zaria & Cherie mom Tammy!!! She don't think about nothing but money!! Makes you wonder how she was in her younger days. I sure hope that it be a part 2 so I can find out if Cherie got caught up in the lies that she told!! Good job Shan!!!

Very Good Book
I loved it. I even know some mothers like Tammy. This book was good from beginning to end. I read it every chance I got. I especially liked the way it ended. I liked how each character was described, I could picture them in my mind. I highly recommend this book if you like nonstop drama and I will be reading more from this author.

it was ok!
Well for starters this was supposed to be a full novel, it wasn't completely finished. I'm not sure if there is a book two or not but I was under the impression that this was a full complete novel. They left me hanging for real tho! Lol! It wasn't what I thought at all.

Good read but quite complete though
Although the title has full length novel after it, it isn't. It ends with a bit of a tragedy and a vow for revenge. It also leaves a lot of unanswered questions. A but disappointed at the false advertising. Still a good read though.

I read this book in two days. It's a good book! I'm so passed at Cherie for getting an innocent woman killed. I wanna know what's gone happen next. And I hope Zaria pulls through and can have more babies and her sister gets exposed!!!

An Under Developed Storyline
I was really enjoying this book, but you left me hanging. Cherie caused a lot of chaos with no answers? What happened to Devon and Yessenia? When did Marco and Ashley get together in this storyline? Etc??????? Really Confusing!!!!!!!!!

A Thug's Life
Cherie started another war. I can't wait until her and her mother Tammy get theirs. Yessina and Devon hopefully they can work on their relationship. Zaira and Q was made for each other. Praying everything will work out for them as well

I don't like how it ended. I expected to read at least a brief epilogue or something.
