Redbone 3: The Rise of The Fold

by T. Styles

Can I Make You Famous? The secret is out and the world knows that Farah Cotton was responsible for killing her soul mate’s brother. In fear for her life, she must remain off the streets of DC or suffer an evil fate. Luckily Slade, who vows to avenge Knox’s death, is tucked away in a cell, although his imprisonment does nothing for her broken heart. Desperate for protection, Farah, Mia and Shadow take solace with Bones, 2nd in command of The Fold, a group of modern day vampires. When her blood craving increases she makes risky moves to quench her thirst. For months she successfully avoids capture while waiting for the day the Bakers will abandon the quest and withdraw from DC. It never happens. Surmising the plan to snuff Farah out is weakening, Audio, the youngest of the Bakers, becomes unglued. Refusing to sit idly by he moves solo, making a brash decision that causes a domino effect of consequences, which will ruin many lives. Just when your pressure settles you’re struck with a revelation that will challenge everything you believe. Prepare Vamp Lovers…you’re in for a bloody ride.

Drama!!!

I dragged this book out all week long just because I didn't want it to end! After reading this book, I look at Farrah Cotton completely different. Across the three books you can definitely see her growth as a character. True definition of a rider. Can't wait for the surprise at the end to drop

Can I Make You Famous x3? (4.5 stars)

Just when I was about to give up on reading this year, (because every other author I tried to read this year bored me, didn't hold my attention, and made me feel like maybe I'm not in the mood to read at all) I downloaded this novel onto my Kindle Fire and my faith in books were restored. Mama T played ZERO games with this novel. After a long hiatus, Farah Cotton returned to us with drama that had me eagerly swiping my screen to see what would happen. The whole gang, the ones that's alive at least, returned gun blazing and entertained me.

Although I felt like the book was too short for the amount of time we had to wait, and some things could have explained a little more, I enjoyed it a lot. The cliffhanging ending messed me up but I CANNOT wait to give Mama T my coins for "The Fold." My credit card and my Kindle Fire will be ready.

So damn good

This was a page turner! Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down until I finished! This book had me wrapped up in my emotions and deeply invested in these characters! Slade is and will forever be book bae! I can't wait to find out what else is in store for the Fold!

A good wrap up of the Baker and Cotton feud. Didn't expect some of the body count but war is war. Noted The Fold is next with the story of their origins. Looking forward to that vampire tale.

Whew!!!

Mama T did her thang with this book. I can't wait to read The Fold. If you haven't read The Redbone series you really need to add it to your collection.

A ghetto vampire love story. Loved it!

[Vermillion · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’m sorry to have to say but the conclusion for this one was a disappointment. And there were just too many issues left up in the air for this not to be just a lead in to the next book. There was also a lack of follow-up on a number of scenarios, for example, the ambush on the Bakers just jumped to an abrupt conclusion with no finesse whatsoever. I get the ‘cliffhanger’ angle, but when you don’t leave enough bait on the hook, well now you’re just playing with my emotions. And you don’t get to do that and expect me to come back for more of the same.

Great book and plot. I love Slade!! He seems like a woman's dream. I don't think Ferra deserves him but love is blind. I love how her sister is always there for her and her brother has her back. It was sad how Chole died, the person who did it should have been tortured. Really enjoyed the book!!

Entertaining read.

[Dee Cherry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great follow-up that was well written and held my attention. Filled with exciting drama & action, Farrah was another one of T. Styles twisted villians that kept the pages turning. Her ability to fool those close to her was amazing & the addition of The Fold to her life made her all the more intriguing. I'm enjoying reading this series & recommend all to read!

Farrah

Farrah is back with all her drama and stuff starting . It's like how she Gone get outta this one . Trouble should had been her first and last name . I like the perspective and which the story is told . I almost thought that none of the things actually happened I think their Is more to the story .

[Denise Gilliam · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg this book was all that and then some Mana T brought it in this book. I love how all the charters came into play in this book. All my questions were answered in this book. I loved loved this book. I would recommend this series for everyone to read. Mana T has a wicked pen game please don't sleep on her she is the truth.

Disappointed

Not as good as the first two books. Totally different. I liked Harrah much better in the other books. I hated the way the book ended. In my opinion it left too many loose ends. Maybe the fold will have more answers.

[Brittney G · Rating 3 out of 5]

What is this?

The first two books were action packed, this one did nothing for me! This book was rushed, it didn't leave me in suspense, and it majorly lacked that 5 star bang I'm used too! C'mon now I expected much more from a vet like T. Styles!

[Aaron · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW all i can say is WOW, T. Styles did it again and delivered another amazing tale in part 3 of the Redbone series. From start to finish this story kept me entertained. I would recommend this series to anybody.

[Mia L. · Rating 2 out of 5]

[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great continuation of this series. Finished this book in a night. Couldn't put it down. The Cottons against The Bakers was a serious war. Loved the storyline. Would highly recommend this book.

[Angela · Rating 5 out of 5]

All I'm saying is I'm a fan for LIFE!! I don't really get into vamp books but this here story has me beyond curious! Can't wait to read The Fold!!! Keep them coming Mother Styles!! ☺️

[Lunden · Rating 2 out of 5]

Just couldn't get into it. The sci-fi genre isn't really my favorite so the Urban fiction sci-fantasy thing was a bit much for me.
