Ask The Streets For Mercy
"Shyt List" and "Raunchy" fans will love this...When Rasha was left to strangers as an infant, she didn’t know there was anything to fear in the world. After all, she had been shielded from pain, with the exception of the wrath she experienced from her jealous foster mother. Before long, this torment was enough to force her into silence, vowing never to speak again. But what do you do when you can’t speak, and your agony has just begun? Forced to leave home after home, she ends up in the worst place to ever shape a young girl’s mind. Looked upon as prey, she becomes a game for a dangerous clique. Unable to see the good due to being blinded by the bad, she learns hate, savagery and above all revenge.

This is a story about revenge. Some people just can’t let things go. What people ignore about Karma is that what goes around comes around. You could be running around trying to “get” the people that “got” you. And that’s understandable because you mad, angry, and hurt! Somebody gotta pay right?. But what happens when the “getter” is got? Better make sure it ain’t you that will pay the ultimate price for all this revenge you seeking. The story was definitely twisted in true T. Styles fashion. Word of advice: pay attention to the smallest of details (especially italicized words) your mind may not miss things like mines did

Show no Mercy
This book started off really good and once the years passed by everything went downhill from there. Mercy childhood wasn’t the best so when she got older she showed the ppl who did her wrong the true meaning of mercy. Throughout the book the years were just passing by and we were getting stories that was told inside of a story and it dragged too much for me. I got bored when the book got to her as an adult because it was more stories of different characters and their demise which I thought was pointless. Not the best T Styles book

Ask the streets for Mercy
I Asked the Streets and T Styles for Mercy and baby I regret it! I NEED MORE! It cannot have ended like this! Rumor has it that this book is a cross between Shyt List and Raunchy and it is! Mercy is the type of chick nightmares are made of. I, with confidence, can say I hated everybody but the boogie man and Sybil in this book. Way to go T Styles!

Simple
I rated this simple because that's exactly what it was. I liked the fact that her sister really didn't leave her and attempted to keep her safe at all cost. I didn't like the fact that she was so dismissive with everyone feelings even the people she claimed to love. It didn't make sense that at the very end she had none of the oxfords around her even though she knew her enemies would be looking for her. There wasn't any plot twist it's just straight to the point so if you're bored or taking a shit this is a good read but if you enjoy reading I would choose something else

Hummmm
Well, first let me say I love ,love,love T Styles books! Yes they are TWISTED! But, the things that her brilliant mind can create and bring to life on pages is unique and amazing! But, I also have to be honest and say that I think this was although different from her other books I think this one was the weakest of all her books that I have read. I gave it a high rating because regardless to how I feel about this book. T. Styles is a Prolific, Brilliant, and Amazing Author! When it comes to this twisted s**t she is in a class all by herself!

Not a good read. The plot was stupid unrealistic. It had a chance in the beginning but it slowly lost momentum. I would not recommend this book to read. I did not like the many characters that came into to play at one time. No connection with any characters. Did not feel pain for Mercy. Poorly thought out. The two stars for time and effort.
Not a good read. Unrealistic very poor plot. Not enough time to connect with characters before introducing another characters. Poor.

Lord have mercy!
This is such a good story.Only T styles can create a character that's sick in the head , but has a sweetness about them that you grow to love. Id love to see Mercy come back to life but, I'm sure she's a standalone character. I'm not gonna ruin the story with a long review so get it, read it and love it.

Mercy was not giving Mercy...
This book was a page turned . Mercy went through so much in her life seems like she couldn't catch a break. All she wanted was to be loved and be beautiful. She was bipolar had multiple personality. Mercy was Karma the way she got her revenge. In not a spoiler great job as always Ms. Styles....

Not for me..
Its hard to give this review because this is one of my favorites, but this was not a good read at all for me. I thought from the title and the beginning it was going somewhere and had potential. I found myself trying to speed read to be done. I don't know what to say about the actual story.

Just stunned
This book was a quick read that I completed in a day! It had me gasping and laughing. The saying Karma is a b is so so true for this book! But I want more still especially as I think she has more to do! 😊👏🏾👏🏾

Hmmmmm......
I usually love T. Styles books. But this one didnt sizzle in my spirit. I found the book slow and a bit boring. Some of it didnt make sense and I found myself skipping through the chapters. The ending was the only thing I like. Karma is a B
