Tales From The Trap

by Shontaiye Moore

The trap isn’t always where drugs are sold. The trap can be anywhere things go down, or anywhere a hustle takes place. Join me as I bring you four drama-filled tales from the one place everyone can’t seem to stop talking The Trap!*** These are all re-releases compiled into an anthology*** Four standalones in one.Through The Eyes Of A Hoodrat 1&2Sierra is a trifling chick that cares only for herself even though she has three children who depend on her. Scheming and living off her children consume her life as she attempts to skate through life for free. When a scheme goes wrong and things come to a screeching halt, Sierra soon learns that every bridge she’s crossed has burned and no one is coming to her rescue. She soon learns, she's crossed the wrong person this time. But he too soon learns, so has he!Through The Eyes Of A Hoodrat 3Neka is beautiful, spoiled, self-centered, and has no problem carrying the title of whore. Her response to the negative comments aimed at "You can call me what you want, but I bet you won't call me broke." Caring what people think is not a factor when it comes to chasing paper. To Neka, the people who try to label her with such negative terms, are just mad because they got played, or bitter because their man got taken. In her own eyes, she's a seductress that acts accordingly to get what she wants. From whom she wants. And she's damn good at it. No man is off limits, unless of course, it's one that she decides to call hers. Life takes a huge turn and Neka gets a giant slap in the face when she is viciously exposed, and the people closest to her cross her. What was supposed to be a lesson, turns Neka's heart rock solid. Vengeance is hers, and anyone that crossed her, will pay dearly.My Man Is Her ManMya and Deandre seem to be the perfect couple when they're together. He's tall and dark, while she's young, vibrant, and beautiful. However, there's a dilemma. Mya is the other woman. Deandre is already spoken for, living with his girlfriend Krystal right down the street from Mya. Mya's fully aware of the role she took; however, with her feelings changing for Deandre, she's hoping that the dynamics of their relationship will change as well. With Mya longing for, and demanding more attention from Deandre, he soon determines that he's bit off a bit more than he can chew. He doesn't know which is Krystal finding out he's cheating, or Mya becoming fed up and leaving him completely. Watch how quickly the drama unfolds when lust and selfishness dictates decisions. Not only can it get messy; it can also get dangerous. Two women. One man. All is fair in love and war. RIGHT?Wrong TurnFraternal twin sisters, Olivia, and Octavia are not your average chicks. Only the tender age of twenty-five, they’ve managed to build a profitable string of weave bars throughout the city of Baltimore. Although twins, the two are nothing alike. Not only are their looks strikingly different, so are their personalities, principles, and morale. Partying, and spending cash is nothing to the two who have it all at their fingertips. However, even with an abundance of luxuries, the twins still find themselves at odds with each other and others. Jealousy, sibling rivalry, backstabbing, and drama stemming from men and money, keep them immersed in drama. The drama takes an even bigger turn and the fun soon ends when a detour down a city street have the sister’s fighting off a trio of armed thieves. They want cash, or else. Who are they? Where are they from? Only one of the two sisters know. Could it be debt related or simply a malicious act orchestrated by one of their rivals.

Just my thoughts

I liked all the storys in the book. Each one was a cold look at the reality of our women from urban areas. Different parts of the south. Each a grimy tale of the things that happen everyday in our neighborhood.
