The Pleasure of Pain 4: The Final Teflon Diva: Layla Story
As Layla sits on the plane, she tries hard to hold herself together. Bullets ripping through flesh, horrifying screams from the war and seeing the look on Tess' face as the bullet ripped through her chests played over and over in her mind. With Bless and the rest of the Teflon divas now dead, Layla is now free to live out her own destiny. Going back home to rekindle things with Damou, Layla soon learns that her life as a Teflon Diva is far from being over.

Layla thinks she is the last Teflon Diva, and quickly finds out she is not. I kind of felt sorry for her. She lost or thought she lost everyone she loved. She created her own squad and TESS is back and tries to take over! She envied Tess so much she wanted to be her and wanted her story. I think she went into shock when she realized Damou was married with kids! After she waited on him for 5 years. This book introduces new characters and old one come back. This book was good, but I really had too many distractions to really get into it. I kept having to replay chapters because of my distractions then I got lost but the parts I remember this book was good as well. So now on to the last book!

Teflon Divas!!!
I understood the story line, but what got me was all the typos, making it harder to keeping me interested cuz when they were talking about one character they would say another name to a different character. But for the most part this was a GOOD READ!!! Continuing on this journey with whoever it may be....

Not better than the first or second books
Too many spelling and grammatical errors!!! There had to have been a spell check button. It was hard to read and I won’t continue with the series!!!

Alive
I don’t like that Layla turned on the two people who genuinely loved her like their own. The dead has arisen

Not really engaged
I love this author. I have loved all the previous books. The story line was all over the place. A lot of killing that wasn't called for and didn't really intertwine with the previous 3 Pleasure of Pain books. The first 3, I was so in love with and read in one day. This book took me about two weeks to read due to all the misspelling of words, double words, and names not going with the right characters ..I was just lost. I don't mind minimal grammatical errors, but I was at the point a few times where I wanted to give completely up, but I keep pushing through. Now I'm not an author, but do the authors get to proofread their books before they get put out to the readers? It seems like they would and this would of been caught and the storyline could had meshed better where those parts didn't make sense. I'm not sure if it was rushed. This is the first book of his that I read that I can't give 5 stars too.

Another gripping page turner!
Shameek, amazed me in this series.. He took this book to an even higher height than the other three.
Layla wants to be Tess so bad she is determined to show she is better than her at all cost, even taking the one and only person that has been true to Tess, Bless. Layla is blinded by the love Tess has for her the mother figure in her life and that she just wants the best for her, but Tess can't seem to let go of the fact the Layla wants reign as the better of all the Teflon Divas before her. In having a sister bonded crew that is crafter and more loyal than any other. I'm looking forward to the next book and how Shameek is going graciously craft this next story, so we can continue to see the demise between Layla, Tess, Iris, Bless and what is the little girl going to do with them chicken bones, can't forget about Harmony and the others.. This book will not disappoint you.. A must read!!

CRAZY!
This story was really crazy,but the grammatical errors were very distracting. I don’t remember any of Shameek’s books being like this. The storyline was good, and things happened that made me smile, things happened that made my stomach turn... All in all, it was a good book. We waited so long for book 4, I had to go back and read the first 3 books to remember what had transpired up to that point... Like I said it was a good book full of unbelievable action and violence... but I think I expected great!

Very disappointed
Seems like I waited forever to read the ending to Teflon Divas and I'm sorry to say I was disappointed. The first thing I was disappointed with, was the spelling. Omg, it was horrible. I literally had to decipher the meaning of a word and try to figure out what it meant. Sentences didn't make sense and again I just couldn't get pass the horrible spelling and the context in what the words was use for. I truly expect more from the author since I have read others books from him. I'm sad to say, I'm not sure I want to even book 5. Again very disappointed.

Devoid & Dissatisfaction
I “Did Tess love me like that? She would bleed for me and kill for me, but picked Bless over me; and did he love me? He saved me from my father, but again he picked someone else over me. Everyone always picks someone else over me. Am I not good enough?”
After having to wait so long for this & in g

I have waited a few years for this installment and I must say,it was most definitely action packed,and quite gory.Iris was back with her same antics but way more insane.Layla is proof that loyalty doesn’t really exist.Tess really lived up to the title Teflon Diva.I was left with many questions and can’t wait to see how this all play out in the next segment.

Man page turner!!!
When I tell you this book was all not kidding. The betrayal love lost dreams killing sacrifices that we made. I turns into a traitor and wanted one of the Teflons dead she was acting like a brat and shy was wrong. She could have did her own thing but betraying Tess was crazy.

Wow!!!
I can’t believe Layla. I hope Tess Kill her ass. She is such a hater and so damn ungrateful. She was that damn pressed for Damou that she couldn’t see that Tess loved her. It be the closest ones to you that be the most jealous, and now Iris has the upper hand smh. I hope Sabrina kills her because wtf I’m seriously sick of her. Part 4 was LIT!!!

Good book but...
The book is good but the grammatical errors killed me. I almost stopped reading it because it was torture. Not sure about the ending but we’ll see on the next one, hopefully it’ll be edited prior to being published.

Stressed to the max
This author is so creative and descriptive it was like watching a movie. I can’t believe Layla turned on the one person who saved her life. She’s just as delusional as Iris. I hope they both get what they deserve. The misspelled words were a little frustrating
