Body Count
By day, I teach third grade. By night, I rate men like Uber rides and write anonymous recaps on the blog that’s probably ruined a few egos—and inspired even more group chats.
Hi. I’m Rivah. But to the internet? I’m Soaked.
And before you judge me, let me ask you when men sleep around, they’re called experienced. When women do it, we’re called everything but free. So I stopped caring what anyone calls me and started telling the truth.
My blog, Body Count, isn’t about sex. It’s about choosing me. About turning every red flag into a teachable moment and every body into a boundary I built myself.
Then Kross showed up.
He’s... different. Like, green flags in bulk. And while my body wants to rerun him like my favorite show, my heart is still blocked and unavailable.
But things are getting weird.
Men I’ve been with are showing up dead, and I don’t know if it’s karma, coincidence, or something else entirely.
All I know is…
This isn’t a blog of regrets.
It’s a record of reclamation.
Body Count? Nah. This is Character Development.

Loved Wild
Wow what did I just read.
This story gave so much in a short amount of time. Rivah was your typical bad b*tch...fine AF, educated, with just enough petty in her blood, but but over the years men had humbled her. So much so she resigned herself to never fully giving into a man again. She was in control, she held the power and she made sure they knew and felt that. She didn't care if she was seen as promiscuous, she relished in the freedom to do whatever tf she wanted to do with and for her body. She took that power to the next level by rating her sexual interactions with men like yelp on her blog. I enjoyed it way too much 🤣🤣 She was eating those men up, sis didn't hold back. I fell out at the side tooth bandit 😩🤣😩🤣 and the drama surrounding him was hilarious.
To say her interactions were underwhelming would be an understatement until she met Kross. Kross was a wet dream walking .. dark skin, bulging biceps, with too much confidence, looking like the money he possessed. Kross knocked down every wall around her heart. He didn't tame her, and I quote " he loved her wild." That is what every woman wants the freedom to be loved without having to lose themselves in the process.
The story is wild though and as secrets are uncovered Rivah has to decide if she can love this version of Kross. I like the shift she made at the end.
My only call out is I wanted some more descriptors for Kross. Did he have waves, did he wear dreads. Did he tower over her? Other than that I enjoyed the story, it was different and that was refreshing.

Wow OKAY Netra I wasn’t familiar with your pen. Rivah and Kross were different both fighting for dominance but Kross was in control all along. I honestly didn’t see that twist at the end but I did enjoy Rivah and Kross love story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Rivah didn’t play with nobody, periodtt. This story dives deep into a woman who’s been operating in pure survival mode for so long that manipulation and control became second nature. She knew exactly what to say and do to get what she wanted from men, that was until she met one who matched her energy and refused to fold.
What made this story stand out was how the dynamic shifted. For once, she wasn’t the only one playing the game, and you could feel her slowly becoming unsettled. Things really took a turn when secrets started surfacing and people from her world began dropping dead. That’s when the cracks started to show.
I loved how vulnerability wasn’t something she ever aimed for, but this man pulled emotions out of her that she worked hard to suppress. Their connection was intense, chaotic, and honestly felt like an unwritten truth about how survival can shape love and relationships.
Ohhh, and give me the link to the blog now because I need to subscribe immediately lol 😂

3.5
It’s definitely a fun one and the twist was only unexpected because of the reasoning, from early on I figured who was responsible for certain things but the reasoning was really sweet. I can’t rate it higher cus a lot of the lines just have corny lmaoo like very RH Sin coded “She was danger and flame and all you could hope was not to be burned” LIKE ENOUGHH we get she’s a Baddie but enough tell the story stop with the lines. Like it felt like the author was chasing quotes and highlights vs telling a really vulnerable story. I also struggled with Rivah’s thought process like not from a place of judgement but mainly confusion. My issue I think is she was waxing poetic talking all this boss stuff and body is a temple but sharing it with losers, LOSERS. Like men so bad that they getting no star ratings, had more drama than even worth discussing but we are supposed to believe this is an empowered woman who owns her body and knows her worth??? I just couldn’t follow what was being shown like was she hoing because of heartbreak or was she hoing cus she enjoyed it? Overall the author is talented but overly descriptive which began to get repetitive. I do wish we would’ve saw more of her and Vane’s friendship dynamic but I did like meeting all the brothers.

Love this book down ! This is not your average love story babyyyyyyy ! Kivah was not here for the bs and Kross wasn’t playing no games about her ! This book was so good 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I picked up this book after seeing the author talk about it in a FB group. The synopsis sounded interesting and the reviews were strong plus I thought the cover was beautiful so I thought I’d give it a shot.
It started out ok but after only a few pages I realized o could put the book down. I only finally finished it because I wanted to leave a review.
I found the FMC to be cheesy. I didn’t think her comebacks seemed strong just cantankerous. She needed everything to be a scene and all the clap backs just had me rolling my eyes. Do real people talk like that? The way she talked to her 3rd grade students and the principal were truly distasteful.
The MMC was not sexy. It’s a bit disturbing how many people find his actions sexy. I won’t go into detail because I don’t want to spoil things but I would not choose to be around someone who behaved the way he did.
I was debating between 2.5 and 3 but then the book went off the rails and I settled on my final rating of a solid 2 stars. I won’t be reading the other book in this series.

I had a good time….
This is my first read and I really enjoyed it. I loved Rivah from page one but I knew she had met her match in Kross. Talk about a man with a superior mouth….the things he said has me smiling big. I didn’t expect the glimpse of suspense and honestly I wish the author would have leaned into that just a little more. It felt like a tease and then if was over and it’s not a bad thing, just a me thing. I can’t wait for Niv’s book, I hope she gives ******* a huge taste of his own medicine.

5/5
Baby, I ate this book up and left no crumbs. The story had me hooked from page 1 to the end. The growth of Rivah was probably one of my favorite elements of this book. I was worried about my girl in the beginning. I loved the humor, all the side characters… literally everything !! The plot twist ?! Girl !!!! I did not see that coming at all. I need book 2 asap 😂

Body Count by Netra Antionette was a ride I didn’t expect but absolutely needed. Rivah is messy, honest, and free without apology. The story feels like reclamation in real time a woman choosing herself so loudly the world has no choice but to adjust.
Lawd, that Kross. He’s giving green flags in abundance, the kind of man who makes healing feel possible without ever forcing it. And when the bodies start dropping, the story shifts from romance into suspense, reminding you that loving yourself isn’t always pretty, but it’s always necessary.
Body Count isn’t about sex. It’s about sovereignty. About a woman who stopped shrinking, started speaking, and dared to choose herself first. A bold, addictive, emotionally rich read that lingers.

As soon as I read the author’s note, I knew I was in for a wild ride. The girls in my book club know I’m not a super spicy reader, so I was a little nervous going in, but the way Netra Antoinette wrote the story kept me intrigued the whole time.
Riva was hilarious and definitely the clapback queen. I loved all the music references throughout the book. It made the story even more fun to read. I did end up guessing the twist pretty early on, which is the main reason I rated it three stars. Even so, it was still a very entertaining read and a fun ride overall.

It’s was going all right at first. The typical “I’m the baddest bitch” behaviour then it got weirdly unhinged.
October 11, 2025
This is hands down one of my top reads of 2025! I wish I could give it 5000 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ /5. Just a heads up, this review will be a lengthy one, so bare with me…or don’t 😂
While the title might make you pick up this book immediately to see what exactly goes down like I did, I was in for a surprise that not even my own curiosity could have prepared me for. I was blown away by the strong, veryyyy relatable emotions this book evoked in me. I am talking TEARSS, real tears. Laughing tears, sad tears, happy tears, all the damn tears chileee. Point is, I was in my bed, in the hair salon chair, crying crying 😭 The author touched on personal and sensitive themes such as strength, loneliness, grief, healing, sexual empowerment and the stigma surrounding women who embrace their desires, body autonomy, and love, especially black love, and the cost of it that many of us have paid just by trusting the wrong person, and she wrote about it soooooo well, while showing us it is possible to be done correctly THE FIRST TIME, in a HEALTHY way! Whether it’s due to past experiences with heartbreak or not, she wrote about love and healing in such a profound way that will leave me remembering this book for a very long time, and hell, I can’t tell you what I had for breakfast yesterday, let alone remember a book for too long. This book touched my heart in ways I honestly did not expect, I went from cracking up in the first half, to clutching my damn chest like wth, and when the hell did all of this happen?! Rivah and Kross had an undeniable connection, and I’ll never get over how their story was shared in such a beautiful way. No cheating, no mind games, no gaslighting, not having to take a man back 5011 times and get dragged through hell just to prove that you’re a good woman and worthy of respect because you stayed. Not the glorified version of love that we’re guilted into by unfaithful men, and even sometimes society as a whole. That entire trajectory is garbage, and Ms. Netra Antionette said nuh uhhhh, not Ms. Banks and Mr. Givelle, hunnie! ❤️❤️🔥🥹🤏🏾
Rivah could finally breathe and feel loved, valued, respected, soft. She is a wildcard, and Kross never once tried to change her, only love her exactly how she is, and show up for her wholeheartedly, without judgment, a reprieve from the life she endured. I loved that for my girl! 🫶🏾
Lastly, I absolutely loved the message of it all. It almost felt like I was reading an ode to women like myself, who have felt all the emotions Rivah felt, feeling like you’re too much for a man, for the world, for family, feeling undeserving and constantly needing to live a life rooted in survival mode so much, that you shut yourself out to the possibility of happiness in it’s purest form. 100000000000000/10 would highly recommend this book to anyone 🥹💓🥰⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yes, your Honor I love him.... No, I do not plan on giving him up.
Guess I'm guilty as charged sooooo bring out those handcuffs because I'm locked in with Krossli.
This was my first Netra Antoinette but it certainly won't be my last because I will be picking up Body Language. They way that Niveah came out the bag on old girl and how she ended that blog post with Rivah told me all I needed to know. I know I'm going to love her story just as much as I enjoyed Body Count.
This is the perfect balance between championing women empowerment and the strong desire to be claimed by a specific man. Two things can be be true at the same time and this is proof. I found myself snapping my fingers at lines like "She is hers, entirely. She is not yours to measure, judge, or shame. She moves how she wants, gives when she chooses, and owes no one an explanation." Then turning around and begging to be folded like a pretzel with lines like "Nah. I’m not a stalker. But when I mark something as mine, I don’t like nobody coming behind me.”
If you have ever heard someone recommend this book, listen to them. So dman good!

Rivah has been through it, okay? Life threw her some fake love and lessons wrapped in heartbreak, but she came out the other side walking in her light and doing things her way unapologetically. Her healing? Oh, it's intentional. It includes taking her “body count” into her own hands and blogging about the experiences with full honesty.
But listen… not everybody’s ready for that level of real. 👀
Her reviews start ruffling feathers, but just when she’s good in her groove, in walks Kross. And baby, the way this man was moving had her attention stuck. Real smooth, real direct, real “let me talk to you for a minute.” She set rules...but this man? He had her breaking every single one. 😩
Kross doesn’t just say the right things, he does them too. And what’s even scarier (and realer)? He’s getting through to her heart, the one she’s had in lockdown, wrapped in concrete. The one no one’s touched in a minute.
But here’s the thing: when that veil lifts… will she choose to hold on to what she truly wants—or fall back into protection mode and let it go?
Chile. THIS BOOK. The way Rivah and Kross were moving? Whewwww. It was giving sexy. It was giving grown. It was giving “this ain’t no little girl love story.”
And Netra?? Be for real. This NEEDS to be on audio because the way I was imagining Kross’s voice? I need to hear it in my ear. ASAP.

Thank you so much Netra for the Arc!
This book had me hooked from the dedication alone and had flipping the pages so quick!
Rivah is that girl. She’s unapologetic and I love it! She does what she wants with WHO she wants and you can’t tell her nothin!
Kross is patient, calm and just the man for Wild Rivah!
We live a man than can make us be soft- and kross had Rivah in her soft girl era!
I can’t say enough how proud of netra I am! Her writing keeps getting better. She’s so real and raw and doesn’t shy away from tough topics! Love this book!

This was funny but deep. I was hoping it wasn’t another smut filled book because I’m honestly tired of books being labeled as romance when all it is spice. I enjoy smut as much as the next girl, but not when that’s all it is. It has to mean something. So I’m glad Netra delivered!
If I’m being honest, the gems that were dropped in this book were getting to me a bit lol I think a lot of women can see a little of themselves in Rivah. Being scared to love again because of past hurt. It was very relatable. And Kross is every woman’s dream, no notes. I also enjoyed the crime aspect lol that was unexpected but fun!

NTMA!
At first, I fell in love with the FMC. She was independent. Sexually liberated etc.
As soonnnnn as that Man came along, she cried for the rest of the book. I really wanted her to stand up. I understand her traumas were a thing, but I felt like she immediately went from this strong woman to meek.
The connections of the murders to the mmc , I definitely saw coming. But I felt like it was rushed in the end.
I struggled at the end, esp with the introduction of the podcast, but I understand it was to introduce part two.
I don’t know if I would actually read part two.

4 ⭐️ Let me start by saying this book had me in the bed cackling! Rivah was hilarious and could read anybody for filth. Very sophisti-ratchet and sexy. I love when a baddie meets her match and Kross definitely swept in like a storm with that BDE. BUT then things turned unhinged 😂 this was a fun read and the suspense could’ve been turned up a little more but I loved it.

Whoa
That was good. Plot twist was unexpected like I thought I knew but I did not. I loved Rivah’s growth. From saving herself to owning herself. Kross came with the BDE not playing. Whew.

this book was awful (to me). FMC trash! MMC trash! Supporting characters trash! The writing was below mediocre at best. These were supposed to be somewhat sophisticated characters doing classless things. There’s no way the MMC came from money. The FMC can’t be an educator, I’m not convinced. Storyline also TRASH..
I would not recommend this book.. the writing wasn’t giving at all.

Body Count by Netra Antoinette is a love letter to women’s sexual empowerment
Have you ever had a this is my body and I can do who I want with it moment? No? And that’s probably because society place these crazy standards on women’s bodies and their sexualities while men are slanging ding-aling like crack in the 80s.
Have you ever linked with a guy and before you gave him some kitty wish you can read reviews from previous lovers like yelp or car fax? Well, our girl Rivah has our back. Sis is in her sex em and leave em era and helping out the girls who come after her with a blog where she rates her experiences and is letting us know there is nothing wrong with being sexually free. “Body count? Nah. Character development.”We love a girls girl.
Rivah is always in control…That’s until she meets Kross and Rivah might’ve bitten off more than she can chew.
Kross. Whew. That is a grown ass man and puts it down and let Rivah know from day one, he ain’t going nowhere so she might as well get comfortable. And that he is the one that is control.
This was such a fun read it was like I was on FaceTime chatting with my girls about their sexcapades. I mean there’s sex, romance and suspense, what’s not to enjoy with that combo.
