J-Rite is 100% blackhearted. New to the city of Grand Rapids but not new to making money, she was born a straight gangster. The pint-sized exotic dancer turned street hustler is caught up in living the “Black American Hood Dream.” She has no off button or filter when it comes to getting paid. With a team of murder-minded goons ready to do nothing but win, win, win, J-Rite makes enemies of everyone, including the man she loves, all because they dare to stand in the way of her being on top.
You know how sometimes women wear big bags and throw everything in it because they have the space? That's how this book is. Every possible plot line you could think of was thrown in. I guess just because? I'll take a brief a hiatus from urban fiction. Hopefully K'wan, Tracy Brown, Wahida Clark, Meesha Mink (aware this is a collaboration) or one of my other favorites comes out with something new.
Is there anything you would change about this book? This book was like a dish that you cook that's missing something, but you are not quite sure what that something is,,,Is it missing follow thru? too much angst?
What was most disappointing about Treasure Hernandez’s story? It had too much angst .Who was the boss? How did this made up family become kingpins? I kept wondering both.
What aspect of Shari Peele’s performance would you have changed? nothing
This is a twisted piece of trash. From strippin to drugs to murders...... Trash!! The way this book ended was horrible. I just see how that was the end. I am sure she just got tired of writing was like this is it the end. uggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
There was so much going on, so many characters. J-rite was a whole mess, and has her hands in a little bit of everything. The ending could have been better but...
