War 2: All Hell Breaks Loose
In the Wales and Louisville clans, love and hate mean the same. When Banks Wales invites his best friend Mason Louisville to dinner, the hope is to smooth out growing tensions that would put them back at odds. Things don’t go as planned. In an effort to stay with her boyfriend, Minnie Wales conspires with Arlyndo Louisville to expose Banks’ goals for the future. After bullets fly, Banks’ primary intention is to get his family safely to the beautiful Wales Island. It soon becomes obvious that this is easier planned than done. Not only does Banks’ family bring him grief, but also Mason has vowed to not let him leave the country, by any means. In the end more twists are revealed. More blood is shed. And all hell breaks loose.

Well
Part 2 was all I thought it would be plus some. The feud between Banks & Mason provided so much action & drama, I didn't mind staying up half the night to finish reading. Banks is ruthless & knowing what is known definitely makes him a dangerous character. I think Minny learned a valuable lesson. So ready for part 3

Omg
War 2: All Hell Breaks Loose by T. Styles is totally different and amazing read. Styles does a good job. She brings the banger story.
Bank and Mason are crazy and amazing characters. They don’t play when comes their family. Their minds are chess and 48 laws. Minnie is getting my nerves. I’m happy that I take my time to reading this book. I’m looking forward to reading part 3 of this book.
Good Job:

And the story continues... All I am going to say is that this series has so much back and forth, drama , mixed emotions, big egos, backstabbing and so much more... Will definitely keep you on your toes... I was wrapped into these two families trying to figure out who's side I am on... Like when it is all said and done, who do I want to come out on top... I kept going back and forth... But in reality, I would like to see them both put their egos to the side and just be friends like childhood and put all this extra drama to the side... Becauae it is definitely obvious how much they actually do love eachother... I know Banks does not want to be who he was before and Mason wants his first girlfriend back... This will always be a struggle between them and may be the reason that neither of them will never be able to find the peace they are looking for...
I was so over these kids and how they were acting... Especially Minnie and Arlyndo They just thought they were grown and knew everything... Only to realize a little to late what their stubbornness would cost them and their families...
Now onto part 3 to see what is in store for these two families...

Whewww book 2 was just as fire as book 1 🔥 Mannn it’s so much goin on between The Wales & The Lous my goodness! So many twists that you truly don’t see coming. Banks is definitely more calculated than he lets on, but he be underestimating Mason like a mf 🫢 Mason is in love with Banks & no one can tell me different. I noticed it in book 1, but in this book with some of the things that Mason says to Banks it definitely gives he has deeper feelings for Banks than friendship. At this point he gotta let that gooo 😅 that ship has most definitely sailed. Of all the children between Wales & Lou, Minnie is the one that absolutely irks my nerves but I do wanna know wtf happened to her. & I’m side eyeing tf outta Harris and Shay cause STOP DOING THAT WITH WHAT YALL KNOW 🥴 Book 3 here I come!

Explosive Sequel! T. Styles Does It Again!
War 2: All Hell Breaks Loose picked up right where the first book left off—and it did not disappoint! The twists, betrayals, and raw emotion had me hooked from page one. T. Styles knows how to craft characters that feel real, flawed, and unforgettable. The chaos, pain, and power moves in this story had my jaw dropping more than once.
This isn’t just a street lit novel—it’s a war zone of emotions, loyalty, and survival. Every chapter pulled me deeper into the madness, and I couldn’t stop reading. If you thought the first book was intense, buckle up—this one takes it to another level.
Highly recommend for fans who want gritty storytelling with heart and heat.

She did it to me again!
Whyyyyyy do I let T Styles out my soul in turmoil? Part 2 was just as action packed as part 1! Major secrets are revealed, bonds are broken, loyalty has been tested and get I want MORE!!! By the end of this book I felt like I was getting Harry Potter vibes between Banks and Mason and that's a great thing cuz that is one of my favorite book series. With that being said, I feel like neither Banks or Mason can survive while the other one lives... Who's it gonna be???

OMG!!
What a banger! This is straight fiyah! It took me two days to read this, only because I had to go to work. T. Styles didn't disappoint this time around. Twists and turns at every angle. So much going on, but easy to follow. You will be laughing out loud, commenting while you're reading and straight up guarding at the characters. Banks is on a mission, you better get out of the way. This is a great story, don't sleep on it! This is a great series. T. Styles this is💯🔥🔥🔥💯! I can't wait for the next book!!!

It's not over
Part 1 was a lot more interesting. It was so much going on in this part that was kind of confusing. What was even crazier is Mason's feeling about Banks, like what type a gangster are you. To be honest both sides are messed. The story goes into so many directions. Is still give off the edge but keeping up is hard. And now there is a part 3, which in my opinion ( no one has to agree) could have ended in 2. It still so much to see I guess, like Minnie still out there struggling.

Wow
It all makes sense now because Mason is like super duper Banks. Mason just can't let him go like I understand you love this person who you want to be with him. People need to understand that you can't make someone love you or be with you that's not right. Anyway Bet is a true survivor honey along with Jersey. Neither one deserves the way they be treated but that's what they signed up for. All the kids are something else honey. I got moré to say but I'm really ready to get some part 3 so I'm a stop by there.

The war between the Wales and Lous family is definitely starting heat up. Minnie has annoyed my entire life with her foolishness. She is beyond disloyal. Mason can't let go of the past and move on. I think Bet is going to drive herself crazy behind this beef. I will most definitely keep reading to see what happens now the Wales clan except Harris and Minnie made it to the island. Things are only going to get worse from here especially with Mason and the move that he just made to stay close to Banks.

This is War
Banks is really that dude!! Idc what his secret revealed he is all man! The war is still on and both men are not throwing the flag. Mason is so reckless and emotional but he shocked me at the end, he definitely moved smart. The women surprised me also Bet and Jersey wanna be heard and they definitely got some stuff with them. Minnie is the family black sheep she really caused the most havoc and probably put the family in the most danger. I’m so ready for part 3

The unfolding of secrets, bloodshed and drama between the Banks and the Wales, continues in part 2. There are are many more players in this book, so you have to pay close attention.
One thing’s for certain...just when you’ve counted one of the major players out...count again! The women also begin to come from behind the shadows in this one.
I recommend this 💎💎💎💎 read by @authortstyles, and can’t wait to get caught up with these two families again.

Friend or Foe
So the Wales and Lou war continued with more secrets, twists and turns. Banks did whatever by any means necessary to ensure that his family was safe while the enemy tried everything to ensure that it didn't happen. What happens when two best friends who know each other well enough to stay there steps ahead of one another when it's time to beef? What happens when you think the move you made was the best move but it wasn't? Good Read

Probably some if the best urban fiction I've read!
I've been reading urban fiction since I was 16 and at 32 this series has instantly become a favorite. From the twists & turns that keep you guessing, to the small things dropped in that you later realize are important when a bomb is dropped on you, t. Styles is an amazing storyteller. It's almost 5am and I'm about to start part 3 immediately!

Great storytelling and Unexpected twists and turns just like Part 1. Which again, makes for a great read. I gave it 4 stars because Part 1 had my mouth open with shock and Part 2 did not have that level of shock but the ending is definitely interesting. Everybody says that “it’s going to get wilder” and I cannot imagine what could be more wild than what I am already reading....the journey continues

9 lives!
I swear this dude always come back like chucky and them! But I knew something was up like that was way too easy. I can’t wait to see if Winnie will be found alive, what chaos Mason has up his sleeve, and how the family handles everything. I was thinking Bank’s family was very spoiled and didn’t see that he was only sheltering them. He might’ve overstepped his boundary some which had me like who he think he is but in the end he meant well. Can’t wait for the next!

Yo that nigga Mason gotta die man!!!!!! For a cool minute I didn’t give him credit either. But when you have been best friends like Manson and Banks it’s either all in or nothing. The war they have is so intense because they’re like soul mates to me if that makes sense. They know each other moves too damn good I hope Banks ready because I’m TEAM BANKS ALL THE WAY.

Exciting Story
This story just got turned up a couple of notches. It was fast paced, action packed and unpredictable. I wasn't expecting anything like this. Mason and Banks stay going at it yet they're both likeminded. They were like two boxers in the ring going round for round. This story pulls you in and wanting more. All hell really broke loose.

Underdeveloped
The. Plot was not developed as much ad I would have liked. Because none of the characters have a detailed back story, the author can make one up as they go. For example, the fact that Jersey was in foster care. The fact that Mason had top people in his organization outside of family. If developed earlier, then the plot thickens.

The miscommunication trope is really so fucking irritating… The series woulda been over if Mason & Banks would’ve just fucking TALKED 😂 Mason…. that man really knows how to work a fucking nerve i tell you that fucking much it’s like he has NO concept of common sense. The wives shoulda been best buddies, cause FUCK THE MEN, yall 2 coulda kept so much shit from happening & FUMBLED.

I am NEVER disappointed in a Tstyles book. Just when you think she can't come up with something better, she proves me wrong. Get the book and find the nearest comfortable spot and go on the ride with The Wales and The Lous!!

Great follow up to the first book. Both Banks and Mason keep you on your toes. Minnie just can't get it together and she had to learn the hard way. Once again can't wait to find out what happens in book 3.
