Rotten Apples 3: One Bad Apple
The crew is back in the finale of Rotten Apples. The girls are thick as thieves but like they say, there's no honor amongst thieves.
Marley is still fighting to get her kids back, but remains her own worst enemy. She'll have to grow up in a hurry if she's going to convince a judge to send them home with her.
Yasmeen's drive will either rescue or ruin her and everyone around her. She puts the crew on her back and leads the way even though she lost her own way.
Jellissa invested in herself, but would it work? Would it change her if it did or destroy her if it doesn't? Will her mother ever forgive her or is their relationship gone for good?
Mitzi is still trying to take care of her siblings while her mother slides further into the abyss of abuse.
The clock is ticking on getting Rosa back in one piece. They know the only way out of the hood is to hit a few more licks. Each does her part but one enjoys busting her gun a little more than the others and the bodies begin to pile up. All those bodies draw more heat than the girls can handle. If they all stand strong, they can survive. If not, they all crash and burn.
After all, it only takes One Bad Apple to spoil the bunch.

Great Series
A great series that ended with a bang. The author does a great job with this ending. All the ladies finally grew up and found peace and happiness. Karma came to visit a few people and they definitely deserved it.

I'm glad all the girls got what the wanted. Miss Rodriguez was so wrong for the stuff she did. Publo was a piece of trash and got what he had coming

I'm very pleased the crew made it out of the hood. The death of Rosa and her mother was sad.

Great Ending
These girls took what they could from the environment they were raised in and ran with it. Mitzi was heartbroken over what happened to her little sister Rosa and set out to get revenge. Her mother was a lost cause once Pablo came back into the picture and Mitzi realized she had to do what she had to do to take care of her other brother's and sister's. Jelissa changed her whole appearance and slowed down on her hoing. Marley realized seeing her children in a different environment than they were raised in. She had to step her parenting skills up and get her life right if she planned to get them back. Yasmeen had a plan to get them out of the hood but the way they were dropping bodies. They were lucky if they escaped a jail cell but Yasmeen was more slicker than I gave her credit for. Dolce was so consumed with being entitled that she didn't know she was Yasmeen meal ticket.

The ending was truly a surprise
I love hood stories but this one annoyed the hell out off me. The author just kept repeating himself and almost made me not finish but the story line was too good. The many grammatical mistakes and missing out misused words got frustrating street while but if the book was proofread he needs a new publisher and he would be a great story teller.

Sad to see this end
I know this is the last in the set of apples. I enjoyed it though I'm glad the girls got there happy endings. Sometimes people just deserve it. Good job Mr. Salaam

Great finale
He brought this story to a great close! Glad all the girls got back on track and nobody of extreme importance had to die. It's called one bad apple but they were all bad apples.

LOVED IT
This book lets you know just because you are from the hood doesn’t mean you have to be hood and get get stuck there. Many people feel as though you can never make it out of the hood. The hood is a mental state of mind and once you get your mind out you’re out.

Loyalty is key
I loved how loyal they were to each other. In today's society there is always a lot of back stabbing and selfishness. I was happy with the way it ended.

I was a little worried about the bad apples, as they were wild and reckless, but they proved to be smarter than I anticipated.

At the end it was pretty touch and go for me but you came through Sa'id. Dope plot and even better twist.
