Not Another Thug Story 2

This was a great book. Montana, Montana, Montana...smh I am really disappointed in him at this point. From all the lies that he has told. When Koda told the story of him and Montana, I had to put the book down for a minute. I was shocked at what Koda had to go through. I loved the fact that I got to see a little bit more with Yayo. Demarco is still crazy as ever, but Morgan is putting up with his butt. I think I'm starting to like Cashmere more....lol can't wait to see what happens next. Great job Desiree!

”To move ahead in life? In this game? In these streets, you gotta lie! You gotta front, and you gotta show people yo strongest side!” - Montana.

In Not Another Thug Story 2, Montana is locked up, Cashmere and De’Angelo are getting close despite hating each other, Morgan and Demarco are going strong despite being such opposites, were introduced to Tori Blue, Hazel and Koda are becoming friendly despite their relationships with Montana, and big secrets come to life about who Montana actually is.

Montana: Liar, liar, pants on fire. After finding out how he and Koda became friends, I definitely cannot stand Montana even more. Montana being a writer is ..

Lauryn: Girl, open your eyes because how can you be that obvious to what’s happening in front of you?

Cashmere and DeAngelo: I’m surprised that these two actually are in a relationship despite Cashmere’s fascination with being close with the Carters. I think that wild night with Erma, Morgan, and Demarco made her finally realize that the Carter’s aren’t who they say they are.

Tori Blue: To be honest, her story line is very boring. A singer with blue eyes and that ends up dating Yayo, a well know street kingpin, who has ties to Montana and everyone else. How Tori and Yayo met was cute to read, but outside of that, the story line is pretty boring.

Morgan and Demarco: My favorite couple! Opposites definitely do attract when it comes to these two. I hollered when they were chased down the street by that dog.

Hazel: GIRL!! WHAT THE HELL ARE DOING? Whew! Hazel came back around and decided to shake things up and now she’s gotta run for cover.

Koda: Finding out how he and Montana became friends was heart breaking, especially given how Koda was raised. Outside of that, I would say that Koda needs to run, but .. he knows the truth and the real Montana.

All in all, Not Another Thug Story 2 was kind of boring and repetitive at times. I am curious to see how all of this ends because the secret about Montana and Koda is crazy. I also need to know if Lauryn finally figures everything out as well. Also, I cannot wait to read Bambino because I really want to know more about Tuesday Carter.

Like the first one it was good…. Still not comfortable with Jacob being an ex white supremacist and him saying the n word so comfortably, and then telling everyone to educate themselves when they have a problem with it. Yayyyyyy I missed Shiloh and Olivia. I’m confused so did Montana and Levii used to date or just freak? I don’t really like Hazel she kinda annoying at times. Lauryn cool but dang girl is she taking a long time to figure out what really happened. Montana going to hell (with koda behind him, he ain’t safe) I honestly wish both of them would get popped cause they stress me out. D’Angelo and Cashmere is finna be my next favorite couple I see and Demorgan cute

Liar liar

Montana is such a liar and the weakest link! All his secrets coming out and his lies are catching up with him in every direction. My Carter fam showed up and I was geeked!!! Hazel came back starting more drama and I like it lol. This author can be repetitive a lot lol I was tired of seeing moon crested eyes like ok we get it all their eyes shaped like that lol. Besides that I’m enjoying Montana lies and hoping the finale he gets his karma.

Hood mystery

Okay this book here has took me through it. It has me confused and amazed at the same time. Montana seems to have stolen his best friends life to write the perfect book. I'm not sleeping in Koda because there are something's not adding up with him joining the Aryan nation but living black women. One thing about him is he definitely has heart. Montana had me so fooled . I can't respect him at all anymore. Ready for book 3 because Desiree playing with my emotions.

OHHH MY DAMN

Mannnnn this book was crazy and that ending! OHHHH MY DAMN is all I can say. Then to get to the end and the author is talking about what she's trying to do within these stories an I'm just clueless but screaming at the same time.... OHHHH MY FREAKING GOSH!!! Koda is a different kind of crazy and Montana is all about Montana, PERIOD. Now I'm late for work and can't wait to start the next one. Hate I've been sleeping on Desiree but I'm a fan for life....OHHHH MY GOSH I can't wait to read the next one...

Speechless

I have been reading this series nonstop and have not been disappointed. I’m in awe right now what’s real what’s fake who actually got clout and who’s faking the funk. Man I’m totally turned around and Shiloh coming in and out like damn Yoda not helping. One to the next and one word of advice don’t skip over any book to read ahead you’ll only mess yourself up🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow. I read this book straight to the end.

This book had me at times laughing my butt off. I love the way each major character got to tell his or her story. This was a very climactic ending. I am about to start the third and final book in this series.

Omg

The ending to this just gave me so much life. Why did it have to end omg they got Jacob Ryan so messed up. I lost all respect for Montana with that lie even tho I didn’t have no to begin with. Lauryn should know who did that to her. Will Montana show up tho?

Good read!

I didn’t really care for Montana and really wanted to skip this on but you HAVE to read the series in order for development of the characters. I also didn’t care for “DeMorgan”. Overall a good read!

KODAAAAAAA!!!

Let me just say I struggled with starting this series because I didn’t like Montana but I’m glad I did. Lemme tell you that boy Koda had me hooked from the start. I read that last scene 3 times with him “Yall got the right one”

I’d Give It More Stars If It Weren’t for the Spelling/Grammatical/Punctuation Errors.

It was a good story, but it had a lot of errors like many of her books that I’ve read seem to have.
