Off with Her Head
Even with South Beach in her rearview, Apple is still unable to settle down and focus on being a mom. Not when the streets keep talking about Queenie, an enigmatic sista who is calling herself the Queen of New York. Queenie, a hardcore former drug mule, has seen and done it all in her young life. She doesn't scare easily, if at all. When it's time for her to step up to her newfound adversary, Apple, her heart skips no beats. Apple refuses to give up her title after just reclaiming it. She's determined to snatch the crown from Queenie and see her bow down to the real queen.

About the author

Nisa Santiago

48 books300 followers
Nisa Santiago came bursting onto the literary scene in 2009 with her debut title, Cartier Cartel. The book garnered rave reviews and left her readers wanting more. She followed up with the sequel, Return of the Cartier Cartel – which turned into a national bestseller. The Library Journal declared that Santiago’s sequel, [Return of the Cartier Cartel] “Will keep readers hooked to the last chapter.”


Born and raised in Brooklyn, and now living in Harlem, the author is moving at full speed with her writing endeavors. Coined the Duchess of Hop-Hip lit, Santiago humbly admits, “I’m just grateful to be doing what I love as a career and not just a hobby.”

Her latest novel, Bad Apple – The Baddest Chick is slated for an October 2011 release date. The author emphatically states that her decision to start a new series instead of penning part 3 to Cartier Cartel was a brave one. “My readers love Cartier and they wanted more.” Santiago wants her readers to know that she has so many stories to tell and shows no signs of slowing down. Dirty Money Honey is an anthology with her peers, Erica Hilton and Kim K., Melodrama Publishing’s new trinity of authors.

Oh my goodness! What I love about this series is how it spread out over the course of years. I started reading this series 6 years ago and part 7 brought everything full circle.

Apple is indeed a bad bitch. The development of these characters from the very first book to this one is amazing. Kola holds a special place in my heart. Her character changed the most over this series and I have grown to love her. The last 2 books made her more real than just a character. Apple is still a hot head. But somebody had to be right? This time with just cause.

Queenie is a complete whack job. But I kinda liked how she was completely opposite from Apple. And that's where the problems start.

We met a couple new characters, some old friends popped up, and this all leads up to an explosive finale. This series owes me nothing!

This book was really good. The love Kola showed Apple was crazy because in the beginning of the series they couldn’t stand each other. It was a lot of killing and backstabbing in this book and I loved it to the max. A lot of people got killed in this books some were good and some where bad. Their were aloe of parts that broke my soul can’t tell you. Touch was a man’s man.
The ending was epic how they did that so one could have a great life with her daughter. This series was pure fairer but

Never disappointed, always a page turner I loved the switch at the end. I just hate that Kola had a mental breakdown.

Wow Nisa you have definitely done it again.I was so engaged in this point i had ppl at work asking me what the book was about and how good it was.I read that book in a day and a half.I love me some Apple and I swear she is always having problems with someone. Kola I love too but I wasn’t expecting her to take that type of turn for real. I can’t believe the bs that Kamel did smh I was jaw dropping surprised. I’m happy that Corey got what was coming to his ass definitely. Then I’m so glad that Touch got what he needed and wanted. Those last three chapters was crazy to me. I can’t believe Kola did what she did for Apple but I knew something was bout to happen. And Peaches is the cutest. I am hurt bout Sophia and Jr that was so sad. I am sad to see The Baddest Apple series is over but it definitely was good.

This book and series was good , im glad that apple and kola realized they are better together than against each other. I feel like kola was going thru the most in this book and no one was listening to her and apple was so selfish at times putting her needs before anyone else . This book also had a lot of killing , some good and some bad . Some parts were really sad mostly when it came to the children . I’m glad apple found love and didn’t listen to Corey , he was a manipulator I totally understand why because he blamed her for his sons death . I totally understand why kola did what she did at the end of the book she just wanted apple out of the game and be a good mother to peaches .

Baddest Apple- the baddest chick 7 (Bad Apple: the baddest chick)

I chose this rating because of all the action and entertainment from the twins, I'm so glad Apple got out of the game and Cola took her place. Most of all I'm glad the enemies were taken out and her three friends survived the war. I hope Cola gets the help she needs and when she gets released you do another book and she's let out early. It's my third or forth time reading this story and it never gets bor.

The journey with these twins has been long and draining. Kola was on a path of growth and definitely tried numerous times to get Apple on the same path. Apple always wanting to be the HBIC just refused to chill out, settle down, and stay out of the way. The result: blood of children, a lengthy sentence for Kola, and somewhat of a new start for Apple IF she can manage to live a normal life.
