It can be a hard pill to swallow when she sees that a lie ain’t shit to tell for the man she vowed her all to.

Come on this ratchet thrill ride and find out what it’s like when Sam snaps and goes on a quest for revenge! Will she end up losing herself in the process or will she show her cheating husband Dre that she’s Playing For Keeps? THE SPIN-OFF TO A LIE AIN'T Shh TO TELL!

Review:
"Playing For Keeps" by Niki Jilvontae

My Speculation:

All that is left to say after reading "Playing For Keeps" is no one will mess with these twins, Brina and Sam, because they will come for you! I loved this quote:

Sam's last words for Dre... "I told you I was playing for keeps ... now unrest, uncomfortably in hell."

In the end, the reader will see how Playing for Keeps 'can work out to benefit the victims that would otherwise be left broken beyond repair.' What was dished out for Samantha was so well played. All that is left to say pick up this read to see how Karma did come for those who started all of this mess from the beginning to the end. Wow, what an unforgettable read.

Nah

As in part one, needs serious editing. The story just got really ridiculous, totally unbelievable and downright gruesome. So many times I considered just giving up. I skipped lots of pages as it was. The amount of times the author mentioned the titles of the two books just drove me nuts. I'm not sure I like this author. She's written quite a few books and I really wonder if ANY of them have been edited.

Definitely worth the wait 🔥

I loved it Dre got just what he deserved. I was a shocked at how it all went down. But none the less satisfied. Niki you never cease to amaze me. Congratulations on another great read.

Page Turner!

I enjoyed both of these books. There is nothing like a woman scorned. Dre had to learn the hard way.

Best served cold...

Yes, yes and more yes. At first I thought Dre and Marcia deserved to go to jail and watch Sam and Sabrina flourish while they rotted. However once it was revealed that Dre was allowing and encouraging Marcia to still from his children's mothers, I was all for the heinous vengeance she brought upon them. Sam giving Tara money to live off and support Dre's children on was the best part. Great story.
