The drama literally began from page one. I am glad to learn things about The Fold members that I had previously questioned. I just need another book. Lordt I love Farrah Cotton! CAN I MAKE YOU FAMOUS????
I'm so glad the book went in the direction that it did! It was definitely a 5 star feast (lol)! I'm hoping to read more about Farah & The Fold. I also loved that the back story on how everyone got their was told.
Omg this book was fire the first page to last page. I figured out that Mooney was apart of The Fold that's how she was able to write that book for Cutie to read. Farrah is one chick you don't wanna mess with. The book cleared up a lot for me I don't wanna say to much because I don't wanna spoil it for anyone but baby when I tell you T. Styles is one bad chick when comes to telling a story. Baby she told the hell out of this story and then some for real for real. The ending I was like OMG. Just read it you won't be disappointed trust me definitely a banger you won't want it to end cause baby I didn't.
Very good follow-up to Redbone series that held me so captive I finished in a few hours. Good background info on characters with a great storyline that explained more about The Fold & their twisted rituals & problems. There was quite a bit of activity going on behind those gates....
TStyles has an amazing ability to draw you in to EVERY story she writes. It's as if you are right there. This book does just that. You will enjoy every twisted line of it.
T. Styles has done it again. Great story. I would love to get background stories of each member of The Fold. This one was fire though. I would highly recommend this book.
Took me a few hours to read, i really didn’t want it to end. I don’t like Farrah Cotton being submissive, it’s not her style. I’m glad she finally bucked back and handled her shit like the bad bitch we know her to be. I wanted more of Shadow in this book, i love him. Does anybody know of and when the next one will be dropping?
Since being a fan from the first time I picked up a T. Styles book, she never disappoints me! This was a page turner leaving me in suspense at the end!! Great read!!
From start to finish The Fold delivers. Definitely a great chapter in the RedBone series. I hope this isn't the last we hear of Farrah, Slade, Cutie & The Fold.
