The hood love story being woven between the feisty Andreka and the gangsta Krucial has come to a halt when he realizes someone has gotten to her.
Between that, and finding out her supposedly dead ex is actually alive, Krucial is on a race against the clock to save his girl before it's too late. Will he be able to, or has she landed in the hands of his rivals, who surely won't be willing to take it easy on a woman deemed a disloyal, hood-hopping trader? And if he does get her back, is their bond strong enough to withstand all the curveballs thrown their way by the jealous, envious, and forever plotting outsiders?
In the second installment of King & Queen of the Hood, the heat in the kitchen gets hotter—as everyone does their best to keep a lid on their container of secrets. But as the saying goes, what's done in the dark will come to light, and when it does, the result will be explosive.
First and foremost Krucial and Andreka are Bonnie and Clyde the hood version. I love how protective they are for each other But i need my bae to be okay they keep underestimating him and he shows out man 👏🏾. Iyanna should have just told Lilly straight up about the baby and Cesar must want his ass kicked trying to play Krucial, all this drama i just can’t wait for part 3 now😭😭💕.
I am so disappointed with this book. How am I supposed to root for young ladies with no ambition and no common sense. Why is Andreka out on the beach fighting random girls for no reason when you are a mother. Really??? Make it make sense to me. Meanwhile, Krucial just riding around shooting people in the middle of the day with no regards to witnesses. I can tolerate some ratchetness, as long s it’s not the main characters but when the main characters are fools, it’s just frustrating. A total waste of my money. I expect such foolishness from some writers but I thought Ms. Latrice was a step up from all of that ghetto mess, but I guess not!
Okay, I was originally going to give this a 3.5 because I really didn’t dig the whole Moe thing. I just didn’t understand the point of bringing him back just to swiftly REALLY unalive him.
What saved this second book for me were the side characters. Listen, I am INVESTED in this love triangle with Mai/Tai/Jory. It’s just so messy. All 3 of them are just a mess. I’m rooting for Iyanna and Lolly. My boy has been the only character to show growth for real. The cliffhanger also got me wanting to get to the last book.

Per usual she wrote the hell out of this story. She’s a new author for me but quickly becoming a favorite of mine as I make my way through her catalog. This book was added to my list of 5 stars, cause it was everything!!
Wow! This series is getting better and better. Jory needs to move on from both women, but I think I know who he's going to choose. Lolly and Iyanna I'm rooting for them, and my Bae Krucial I'm praying for you Bae.
Now Iyanna, what was the point of withholding that information. That was dumb anyway. Lolly was starting to grow up. That darn Krucial was ruthless, especially that mouth, lol. Emily needs to go now.
Krucial is the funniest character I’ve ever read! I enjoyed this book a lot. I usually don’t like a lot of extra characters, but I love them and all their drama.
I feel like this book was worse than the last, and I get it. It’s an urban romance, so it has to be the extreme of the extremest of ghettoness, but why, end on a cliffhanger every book?
This book was everything from beginning to end couples going through it action drama suspense and s it suspense continues enjoyed reading waiting on part three
I liked the book. The drama is giving what it’s supposed to give however there are some things that doesn’t make sense. Andreka has a degree and is not using it to help her get a stable job to get her son back. I understand doing something you have a passion for but that is put on hold while the custody of your child is in jeopardy. As much as Andreka loves her son he is better without her because there is no way I’m letting my pride or a crazy man like Kapri get in the way of my custody battle. Also if Krucial actually cared for Andreka like he said he does he wouldn’t put her or himself in compromising position. For someone trying to act right or better he does the opposite.
As for Kapri or Krucial his rudeness makes him an unlikable character for me in this book. While he’s the boss he acts like a child and so does Andreka. I had real high hopes for Lolly and Iyanna. Their storyline seem more interesting then the main characters. The betrayal of Iyanna ex Jalen and the secret pregnancy she’s kept from Lolly. As for Jory and them two sisters they were a headache but fun to read nonetheless. I’m intrigued to see what happens with Quay and Channel. I wish we could lean more into the Yobs storyline with OD. Majority of the book is based off the Lunatics pov.
Overall this book was a doozy. Could be better tho.

Firstly this was to long not to have been the finale secondly how could he be so smart and stupid at the same time third why bring moe back just to be gone again in 10 min should've left him dead his family didn't seem to shook up when his ass was gone for real.. why didn't he put her up on game when it came to ceasar and his sister he most definitely should've told her when she popped up at the house and why didn't jory kill old girl soon as it was confirmed who she was cheating with and for how long the lolly and iyanna situation he trying it it's not like she was sleeping with someone else how dumb could he be to not see or realize she was pregnant and she was with dude for almost a decade and only had what 10,000 in her savings and the tassia women good grief but how about some more info on the sister and the momma cause if my momma sold me for drugs she would be dead to me too and if my sister couldn't understand that well to hell with her too I'm sorry there's no way I'll be able to get pass that and then for her to feel like I should just get over it nope
This book was good as the first one. Krucial is that guy and he’s so funny to me. He and Andreka are made for each other. I don’t know what’s going on with Jory and him dealing with sisters. Such a messy situation. I did feel bad for Iyanna, I just wished she could have been truthful with Lolly from the beginning. I’m ready for book 3 to see what’s going to happen with Mrs. McCollough. I wonder who is responsible for the gunshots at the end. Was it Ceasar or Alton? I know it wasn’t OD scary a**.
Dragggged is not even the word! What was the point of Mo's return, that was just weird. I can't with the dumbest duo (Andreka/Krucual) anymore so I won't be reading book 3. This took forever to finish so I can't imagine what's to come. It's not even good drama at this point... just mess. I love this author's books but this is my least favorite by far!
I’m about 40% through this book and I just had to go ahead and DNF. At this point, I’ve lost my respect for Andreka. She claims to have learned a lesson after Moe and won’t be dumb behind a man again, but is doing exactly that. I don’t understand why she would continue to be with him in the first place after essentially being warned that he would be an issue in her custody battle. At the very least, she should have told him that they needed to keep their relationship behind closed doors, especially knowing that people are following them. Even without the ongoing custody battle, she shouldn’t have wanted to be with him solely because of how dangerous their relationship is proving to be. I guess she felt like nothing would happen and her man would always be able to protect her, but being kidnapped by a “dead man” should’ve showed her that that wasn’t the case. She also claims to be independent, but isn’t working while Krucial is paying for everything in her life, which again isn’t helping her custody battle, along with constantly threatening and trying to lay hands on the people who want to keep her son from her in the first place simply because she doesn’t like what they say. My breaking point was Kapri pulling a gun on the entertainer at the birthday party in front of random people and innocent children, all while she still doesn’t have custody of her son, and she had the nerve to laugh about it. Like girl what? Outside of them, I feel like bringing Moe back served no real purpose. Maybe, if they had used him being alive as an argument to get her son back, but turning around and killing him added absolutely nothing to the story. And OD is being extremely immature about his beef toward Krucial. I understand, as a child, feeling hatred toward him and his mother. But as a grown man, he should be able to see that they had nothing to do with his father’s death and mother’s imprisonment. And don’t even get me started on the side couple’s relationships because I’m getting irritated all over again just writing this. *eyeroll*

Krucial is sooo damn disrespectful and ignorant that it is hilarious. He don't give a damn about nothing but his mother, Andreka, Cooper and his respect for himself and his gang. Moe should've stayed where he was at because in the end. He still lost. Emily might be uppity but her trifling ass have some connections. I'm just lost on why she's going so hard to hurt Andreka when her son was in the wrong. Essence and Donnica are two damn dummies. OD scary ass is not worth what the both of them are allowing him to do to them but yet he keeps getting embarrassed by Krucial. I'm not too shocked about OD and Krucial connection but I believe OD momma is lying. She's a bitter ass woman. I wished Iyanna would've told Lolly the truth from the beginning. She really didn't have a reason to hide it or lie about it. Jory had all the signs that Maissa trifling ass was up to no good but he was scandalous too. It's just Maissa was creeping with the enemy. I had to side eye Taissa she lied too damn easily for her sister but she's just as trifling as Maissa. That ending was jaw dropping but I expected sooner or later somebody was going to be gunning for Krucial. I'm definitely looking forward to part three.
This book was amazing! I'm on edge right now so ready for part 3! I so hope that Iyanna and Lolly can fixed their situation because I loved how he was able to realize that being with one woman and not just wanting to have sex her is a wonderful thing. Lea need to sit her jealous self down because she chose who she wanted to be with. Krucial and Andreka always got someone hating on their union. I'm trying to understand why is it so important for Mrs. Emily McCullough to have Cooper so bad!? If it has anything to do with her having something to remember her son by why isn't she so determined to get SiSi's kids as well. In my theory, I think something is up with Krucial's, Uncle Depp, because he seem shiesty to me by the way he approached Andreka when she came looking for Krucial. OD need to get his life straight because I don't think he going to make it through part 3! So hope Quay and Jory it happy endings as well! This needed to get 10⭐⭐⭐
I’m loving this series Krucial is hilarious he don’t care what he say or who he say it to, swear he had me cracking up. I love that Moe was handled as soon as the book started and hope the same for his mammy in part 3. I like Andreka but she needs to chill out she out here doing too much and knowing she’s fighting for custody of her son. I’m so pissed at Iyanna, Lolly was trash in part one but he was definitely changing for her ass. I like him for her and I hope they can work it out. I don’t know how I feel about Taissa Maissa and Jory’s situation. They both are dead wrong and then the fact that he was willing to leave Maissa for her sister was just wild. And Maissa willing to stay after she found out was just as wild. I hope Taissa finds what she’s looking for. I wish Maissa had been exposed early on, I didn’t like her from the beginning. Anyway, definitely a great read if you like hood and hilarious this is the one. I just need part 3 to be out ASAP though‼️
I am thoroughly enjoying the story of Andreka and Krucial da Great so far! I can relate to Andreka somewhat bcuz once upon a time I had me a Krucial and it took reading this to realize I wasn’t the only crazy chick out here! I love the way Krucial loves Andreka! He may be thuggish but he loves her so hard! I love she feels so safe with his crazy ass! Moe’s family thought they was gonna walk all over Andreka and just take her child and dictate when she could see him! Krucial said “aht aht!”
Now don’t get me wrong the other storylines are good as well! I can not stand Maissa but love her sister Taissa! Im team Taissa all the way, however she was dead wrong going against the girl code! Im glad she ran into Andreka who set her on the self confidence path! Hopefully as the story goes on she will find what she is looking for!
I also love me some Iyanna! Look at the cards she was dealt! The situation she is in would have made a lot of women fold! However, she holding her head high and handling her business! I hope she gives Lolly a chance and if so he act like he got some damn sense!
All I can say is wow!!! I can't believe she ended it like this! This just shows why Shvonne Latrice is one of my favorites. She pulls you in and don't let you go lol! Krucial did not come to play when it came to Andreeka. The scene where the rescued her I was all smiles. Hell I was cheesing like he was rescuing me! I wonder who's sending Andreeka the photos, i think it's his uncle from his interaction with Dreeka but who knows. I just hope Krucial is ok. Now, Iyanna kind of got in my nerves. She had more than one opportunity to tell Lolly what was up. Even though she irritated me a lil bit I want him to forgive her. But I also want her to take a step back and focus on her business and baby. I can't wait to read part 3, I know it is going to be bomb like everything else she writes!
This was not too bad. As a matter of fact it was very good in the sense that we got to really know a little bit of everyone else more, and that’s why right now Iyana and Taissa are so stupid and so wrong. They are so not my favorite and I surely hope they do get what’s coming to them, more so Taissa than Iyana. Dreka is still good if not perfect and I live how she grew up and embrace the live if Krucial. Him on the other hand was and still is bae, top dog, super alpha and everything. Now Mrs. McCullough have lived long enough and now you want to add Marianna to the mix. Child, phew 😮💨… we gonna get shaken up now. Susie and Donnica and Depp and even Jory got to go, specially OD and his mamma. Now let me go read this finale.
This series has me in a chokehold. It is renting space in my head and invading my dreams.
I keep trying to take breaks, but my mind is like “I need to know what’s going to happen next.” Or I’d see who’s chapter is next and can’t put it down.
These couples are all a mess on some level. Some more so than others… *side eyes* to Joey/ Mai/ Tai. Some with some missteps that turned into foolishness *looking at* Lolly/ Iyana. And some that are just juggling too much *clears throat* Dreka/ Krucial. Now enters a new couple *jumps excitedly* Quay/ Chanel.
Side bar… when is Grant dying?! Because he got the game f-ed up.
I love this messy a** series. Now on to the finale.
This book was sooo good and funny!!!😩🤣😂😂 I just love me some Andreka & Krucial!!! Krucial be having me crying laughing at all of the stuff that comes out his mouth! Like he hold back for no one!😩🤣 Iyanna and Lolly going through some stuff but I hope everything work out for both of them. They would be so perfect together so much have changed between them for the better while they were getting to know one another I hope the setback doesn’t hold them back from experiencing true love and being together eventually. Jory and the sisters is a hot mess!! 😩🤭I’m like bout time things got out in the open cuz chilleee I thought it wasn’t going to ever get out I was just waiting!😩🤣😂 yall must read this book!❤️❤️
Krucial: l’m not here to challenge you in a game of clue” 😂😂😂
Not he gonna be resourceful when he dead and gone 😂😂😂
Moe have a death wish.. 😂😂
That’s right Krucial go get your woman!!
The McCullens act all high and mighty..
Mariah you not thinking boo, you supposed to be dead already, then you go see the one dude NOT happy to see you because his hating ass turned you in 😂😂😂
Not if a grown ass man has a best friend he sucking that …😂😂😂😂 I’m hollering
ATP have the baby and take his ass for everything you can get Iyana.
Yooooooo Capri at the birthday party was hilarious 😂😂😂😂
I love me some Iyana … she does not play.
I cackling when lil Cooper said Idgaf either 😂
No he got the supplier in him, Mrs. McCullen, and his brother.. it’s about to be some shiiiii
Krucial is everything! I know he better be ok. I have some assumptions about Mrs. McCollum and the Yabs. I don't believe a word that comes out of OD's moms mouth. There may be a little truth to what's going on with Krucial's uncle though. Mo's wife is a piece of work. But that lil senorita is going to get a whole lot more than what she is bargaining for...her family is going to quickly find out that Krucial is not to be played with. Now let's talk about Lolly and Iyanna. She should've told him in the beginning what's going on and let him choose what he want to do. THEN, what in the world did Jory get himself into? I can't wait until the next installment.
So much was going on in part 2, I had to read slow to make sure I didn't miss anything. First, I love Kapri & Andreka. They both crazy and made for each other and Krucial is a special type of Ignorant. He plays no games where his Yami is concerned. I absolutely hate Sisi and Maissa and I was glad when Andreka tagged they behinds. I hope Lolly and Iyanna can work it out. I'm on fence about Jory & Taissa being together and I won't be mad if she decides to move on. I'm just glad Jory found out about Shoki & Maissa. I can't wait to get more of the story about Quay & Chanel. Can't wait for part 3!
The book was really good like the new characters Chanel and Grant toxic relationship. Iyanna and Lolly, I don’t understand why she kept her pregnancy a secret. Lolly was so into Iyanna when he met her. Lolly knew she was in long term relationship with Jalen, he even asked why she didn’t have Jalen since they were together so long. Iyanna still didn’t tell him that she was pregnant🤫 Krucial and Andreka relationship is cute both them are gansta, krucial is off the chain he doesn’t let anyone disrespect him. I like his relationship with Cooper. Jory needs to grow up and get his head out the clouds. Can’t wait for book 3.
