Another great read
I read this book in a few hours, I couldn't put it down, so much drama, so dang funny, etc. I truly enjoyed this series, I can't wait to see 👀what's next.

Again, I laughed with this one because the group really had great chemistry and their antics really fit with what was going on. Glad that Tokyo and Kauzie were pretty much out of it but still in a good place and growing as the story went on. Tassanna and Osari still need to get it together but I can't see the two with other people, they seem to balance each other out. It was good to get back to Quron really want to focus a bit more on him and see just what he can bring to the group. Dez seems to really be growing right along with Shimmy hopefully the next one we'd really get to see them make the step.

I truly have to say that Natavia can write a story. She makes it so good that you believe you know these people. When I tell you I have fell in love with these characters the good and bad. I did not want this series to end. Tassana and Osari I was feeling so hard. I just wanted them to get right and be in love and make their life work. I will have to read some more of Natavia's books if she is using the pen like this.

A hood dilemma is still bittersweet
This was was really good. I swear this book had me on the floor laughing. I was happy Orasi and Tassana gotten happy ending. I'm happy Kyree finally gotten together and was able to work thing out with no hands.

A Hood Dilemma is Still Bittersweet
Loved it!! When I first started reading this one, I thought it was still going to be wrapped around Kauzie and Tokyo, but it wasn't. I was glad I got to see how the other characters were doing especially Dez and Shimmy. Great job on this one.

This book was crazy!
I didn't read book one but the characters in this book all had issues and needed therapy with Laura. Although my main guy had childhood anger issues resulting from seeing his father murdered and being stabbed nine times, I liked him. I laughed and wanted to try o many times. Dez mother, Desiree as out here. The funniest character was Speedy. Drugs, fighting, murder and rock and roll. The men who were father's love their children. Kyree in the end got her man, No Hands. The author did a good job..

I’m going to miss these characters so much. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in the spinoff in this series. This installment just continues on the story from the first two books except we follow some of the side characters from there. I was really happy for everybody who got their happily ever after and even for those who didn’t I feel like They were in a better position than they were prior. I laughed so hard in this book. Speedy was a great character addition since we were following no hands as much. I will definitely continue reading from Natavia

Ratchet game
Girl you are too funny, all three books had me crying laughing, speedy needs his own book also Quron I think those two have there own ratchet story.Please don't ever stop your imagination is a terrible things to lose. You're an amazing writer. The way you write I know it's done out of love each characters was formed from and spoken to someone .

Rachet Book! I loved it!
This book is absolutely ghetto but one of the funniest book I've ever read in my life! Speedy is the man. I was in tears reading about his antics. I can't get enough of him. I hope to find another book from Nativia as entertaining as this one . If not, I'll read Rent again. Another hilarious book. I love this writer!

Very good. Page turning read.
I really enjoyed this book. It was good from beginning to end. The characters growth throughout was evident and I think it was done in the proper way. Although you don't necessarily have to read the first 2 installments to read this one I would recommend doing so just to get a better understanding of all the characters.

I love the hood
Osari and Tassana get it right. Kauzie and Tokyo, going to the chapel to get married. Fez finally grew up and made it good with Shimmy. Lee bless his soul, maybe Shannon will be the one to help him grow up. Keosha the one that need jail time, that’s why poor Dez so messed up

The hood dilemma for real
I was so gone with this book I couldn’t put it down. Tokyo was a mom and Tysana which brought them to speaking terms. Osari was crazy for real and that dam sister of his too. Dez and Shimi was a power couple and I loved it. No hands got his hands and he Kira worked it out. I loved this book

Chile this was a whole heap of drama but I loved it and I’m glad that they were able to get themselves together and thug it out with these toxic relationships and kind a silver lining because baby everybody was going through from both ends… Honey I love me and old fashion ghetto drama and I couldn’t get enough

Way to end this story. That dam speedy was funny as hell. I laugh so hard when they was telling stories about speedy. I'm glad Tassan and Osaria figured it out. Glad Dez and Shimmy got it together. Good job Natavia!

This was a very entertaining book with more laughter and drama then I would have every imagine. It keep you on the edge of your seat to what was going to happen next. I say this is a must read.

Great story
I was sad to see it end. I’m a miss all the characters. That’s the one thing about a well written saga that sucks.... you fall in love with the characters and then it’s over. I truly enjoyed the series

Interesting
Very interesting, a few little errors but I like this author’s style of writing. I like hood books, it’s real, raunchy and funny. I’ve literally read 3 of her books in 3 days! I have kids, I can’t be doing that!
