The need to gain power and claim the world is at an all-time high as the Lashey Empire begins to crumble on the very foundation it was built on. Cocoa has the world at her feet and has finally proclaimed the throne as New York's infamous Coke Queen. With her father William Lashey still behind bars and all the bad seeds gone she can finally build a solid dynasty of money power and respect; that is until she is taken down by the one friend she thought would never betray her. Cocoa is forced to leave her throne behind leaving Angelo and Shorty to continue on with the legacy. Things seem to be coming together for these two except for one thing; they are outnumbered in crew members and knowledge. With the help of Sonia, a bad ass from the slums of the Bronx and Lil Tae, the street smart kid whose only mission is to work for the Queen herself, they begin putting together a newer crew while learning that Cocoa Lashey has resurfaced, or has she? Cocoa's bestie Ebonee has been doing business with Cophee who bears a very strong resemblance to Cocoa. Get ready to keep your weapons locked and loaded as this throttled sequel brings you flying bullets, gun fights, and decapitations. As the story unravels, prepare for a double dose of Cocoa Lashey in Dope The Rise of A Coke Queen 2: A Double Take
Whew!! The twists and turns were EPIC! Eboneè is truly a piece of work. Always watch your circle! William was a POS! Why he treated them that way! Idk why parents do this crsp! When these kids get old enough to understand, let them in on what's happening around them! The Coke Queen was back; bigger and better than ever! Alot of mishaps along the way but she proved to be the HBIC that she was. The only thing that caught me off guard was William showing up with Kat! How the hell he got out and why the change of heart towards the girls? Was it all a show? I still felt he should have died. Truly a rollercoaster and I loved it!
The drama continues, and a lot of the questions that I had from part 1 were answered. Cocoa and her new crew came out swinging. Sonia and Lil Tae didn't take no mess. Ebonee really surprised me with her betrayal. And let's not forget about Cophee. That really surprised me. #UIP
The book of the year, that ending though, really left me with my mouth wide open. Reading this book had me on the edge of my seat I loved the suspense and different twists. This was definitely a page turner that will have you wanting more. I gave this book five stars because of the originally of the storyline. I could see this series becoming a movie and I can't wait to read what Vette comes up with next.
