Thirst Trap: The Baller I Met Online
Life for Maliah was normal until the day she decided to star in a twerk video with one of her friends. The video was posted online and quickly went viral resulting in several messages hitting her inbox. One particular message caught her eye and taking a risk, she responded.
Based off the pictures on his social media and the buzz his name has around town, Zakir has it all. His strip club is flourishing, family is good, and women love him. One would never know that he was operating without a liquor license, his daughter longs for a mother, and that he hasn't been right as far as women are concerned in years.
That's the effects of the internet though. It allows you to show things how you want them to be seen instead of as they actually are. It allows a way to hide in plain sight as well as a platform to broadcast events that may come back to bite you.
Maliah has love to give and Zakir doesn't realize that he needs it. Feelings for a woman are something he hasn't had in a while and once he's sure that he can trust her, he'll do all he can to keep her happy. That is until a secret from his past pops up.
Read along with this fast pace hood saga as your emotions struggle to find peace. Friendships will be questioned. Loyalty will be tested and past secrets reappear.
Nothing is sadder than the death of an illusion ~Arthur Koestler

Good read
Good book!! But, it didn't take me out of reality like some of ur others. I still enjoyed it.
"The internet, a platform used to portray life the way you intend for it to be seen, instead of as it really is." Thats real sh!t. People on social media living the fabulous life, and in reality, they don't have a pot to pi$$ in and a window to throw it out. Like Chad lame a$$😁 and Lakeesha stupid self is right along with him.
Anyway, I like the fact that a man being mom and dad with help from a family friend. Zamir needs to kill Mianna's a$$ for being stupid. Or shoot her in the pinky toe.😒 11 years later!?!😑 Can't wait for pt 2.🙉

Good Read
Enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Somewhat different from the norm but I couldn't put it down. Never really heard of voice hook ups, something new. Malian and Zakir clicked instantly and I liked them together. Malian has plenty of love to give and Zakir doesn't realize he needs that love. Hope she realizes who her real friends are. A lot of drama, action, lies and secrets in this fast paced story. Loyalty trust will be tested as all the secrets are revealed. Can't wait for PT.2 Job well done Ashley Marie

Good
I didn't know what to expect when I opened this one, but the author did not let me down. It wasn't the typical "hood" book. I liked how real it was. Stuff like this happens everyday. Everybody is stunting and fronting these days... On and off the computer screen. Part 2?

Shady!!
With friendships like these characters, who needs any enemies?? They are jealous of one another and it didn't take much for it to come out!! I like Zakir and I'm interested in how this baby momma stuff is going to play out. On to part 2!!
