Grief changed her. The streets are about to test her.
In New Orleans, loyalty is everything, and Deja has lost too much to trust easily. While she’s still mourning the life she once had, the city keeps pulling her back into chaos, secrets, and unfinished business. Friends aren’t always what they seem, enemies move closer than expected, and betrayal lurks where love once lived.
With danger circling and emotions running high, Deja must survive a world that refuses to let her heal in peace. Because in these streets, grief isn’t weakness. It’s fuel.
Raw. Dramatic. Unforgiving.
This is urban fiction where love is complicated, loyalty is tested, and every move comes with a price.
Book two owes me nothing, i literally flew through the pages. The drama, secrets, suspense, relationships were all tense and kept me engaged. I am sorry, I struggled seeing Deja as a wife in this one because of her actions - she was moving so reckless. Zay doesn’t get a pass either because he did something so despicable, I couldn’t believe my eyes. However, I do believe they love each other but they did not have the best example of true love in their parents and it was so evident. Speaking of parents, Zay’s parents had me so heated!! Like I don’t understand the logic. 😫I wanted to give this one 5 stars because I was thoroughly entertained but there were a few things that were rushed and I was having a hard time understanding. But definitely give this one a shot, I enjoyed it. And that bonus scene has me so eager for book 3!
This book was such a good read. Deja really took me through it this time. Grief changed her for sure, and the streets wasted no time testing her. New Orleans felt intense, messy, and full of secrets, just like her life right now. Now listen… yes, a lot of this was her fault. I really need Deja to get it together because I cannot do another book full of her men antics. But the message hit hard, blood doesn’t always mean family, and loyalty isn’t guaranteed. That sneak peek for book 3 though?! I was already invested, but that ending had me picking my jaw up off the floor. I’m locked in and ready for whatever comes next or so I hope…
This one had me so stressed! Deja and her man’s antics were A LOT. I was happy it slowed down and secrets were revealed, but goodness gracious. A. Denise did such a great job unfolding the secrets and keeping us interested. That bonus scene had my jaw on the floor. I cannot wait for book 3 to drop! I’m excited to see what’s next, but also sad knowing it’s just one more book. I love this crew so much!!
Wow oh wow! This story here was full of twists and turns that had me locked in when I was reading. The character development was top tier and the storytelling was amazing. Y’all need to add this series to your TBR!
The stress that Deja had me under in the beginning of this book is insane! There were so many twists and turns that I was not expecting, but the main thing I can say is that I was thoroughly entertained. Zay was absolutely my favorite character, although there were a few moments in the series that i was mad at him, overall he stood on business and was top dog like he said! There were moments when i was screaming at the pages like “Deja dont pmo” and then there were moments I was smiling away. I really love this friend/family and cant wait to read more, cause my boy Zay say he always got a plug for his plans
