At the center of it all is Dyce, the most sought-after stud exotic dancer who plays by her own rules. By day, she’s a disciplined fitness trainer. By night, she commands the stage—and sometimes her lovers.
Surrounded by her chosen family, a loyal crew with secrets of their own, Dyce learns that life outside the club is just as wild. There’s E, the charming hustla’ that will do anything for her kids, and Jodi, military vet turned Head of Security, running DRIP with precision and a haunted past. Last and certainly not least, the infamous Trixxx—doming in and outside of the club and doesn’t take no for an answer.
Every episode drips with tension, temptation, and the kind of drama only ATL can deliver. Step behind the velvet rope and into a world where nothing is off-limits.
4/5 stars ✨ i lowkey ate this up faster than i thought i would. i appreciate a good bit of mess. syren & keyshawn are two sides of the same coin, nutty as hell. roll da dice definitely kept me engaged and i look forward to season 2. some of the artists on the playlist though, yike. 🚮 realistically this is what they *would* play in a club, so i get it but also this is queer fiction... nevertheless, i remained entertained.
“She sucked on Syren’s bottom lip, as Syren’s hands became her necklace.”
If you’re looking for a Black, sapphic novella:
-“P-Valley” meets “The L Word” -playlist while you read -messy characters -spend a bag FMC -messier storyline -131 pages -based in ATL -book 1 -spicy bonus scene
This was fun! It reminds me of throwback stud YouTube channels. This was messy, alluring & engaging. I enjoyed all of the “follow along” song choices. I was reading along and singing while the plot unfolded. I wanted to take a trip to Club Drip.
Monique Goode gave us something that the queer girlies have been wanting for awhile. I need book 2 expeditiously.
Loved this one! It is a 4.5 because I didn't want it to end so soon, ahhhh. This book was fun and definitely a page-turner. I wanted to see more of Keshawn crazy tail self. I live for the drama, lmao. She was not playing with E. I also need to see what's going to happen with Syren thirsty tail self. Like girl get a clue and move around...but dang that money is longgggg lol. Can't wait for pt 2!
I appreciate the realism in this story line of the chaos,mess and drama in the gay world! One story line hit extremely to close to home for me but that also added a layer to it. That last scene though!!! The whole entire book could’ve just been about them and I would be A OK😄!
This really is like P valley because what?!! The midnight ballerinas have lost it. Now I thought E and Dyce woulda pulled out a backpack but still. I’m ready for season 2
I really enjoyed this read! It was definitely a good, messy time from beginning to end. I’m already looking forward to the next book in the series. The Midnight Ballerina hit different with there being studs. I loved the representation.
Love Monique down. By far, this is my favorite book that I have read this year. It’s spicy, messy, dramatic, and very well put together. If you love P-Valley, this will be right up your alley. Trixxx is my girl. She’s my bestie in my head. I love her! Side-eyed Dyce a few times during, but I get it. I’m too ready for Season Two!
