The Keyz to My Soul
“I know I’m young, but I don’t think love is supposed to feel like this.” This thought often crossed young La La’s mind when things would get bad between her and her man, Dro. No matter how many times he made her look stupid in the hood, she made a vow to herself that she would still be his lady. It seemed like the more he hurt her, the more she loved him.
Dro is a man or should I say a boy who does what he wants to whoever he wants, including La La. With his mother leaving before he was old enough to know who she was, he was raised by his father, a well known pimp. Picking up on his father’s traits, he never had respect for women. La La was the only woman he ever loved, and that too meant little to nothing. Making his way around the hood with the ladies, he never once thought about La La’s feelings. He knew he had her heart and mind, and that’s all he needed to keep her around.
The saying “you never miss a good thing until it’s gone,” hit Dro hard when La La finally made the decision to move on without him. Meeting new people, landing a new job, and pushing Dro to the back of her mind, life was starting to look up for her, or so she thought...

Wheeewww Chile!!!!
Wow. This storyline has me hooked. From the first page of chapter one I was sucked in and these characters have grown on me. Some are mold but the others I love. I love me some Keyz. She just has this swag about her. Lala and Cici remind me of me and my youngest sister. Their bond is everything. Dro is dirty but Lena, Malika and Nino are the absolute worst. I'm so sad about Dominic. Soooo the plot twists start in the beginning and continue throughout the story. I cannot wait to see how this all unfolds but I know it's plenty of people that deserve to be sent to hell.

OMG
LaLa has been through so much especially dealing with Dro. Dro is the devil. He's the cause her best friend is gone. She should've let Keyz got rid of him. Keyz is kinda a blessing and a curse. If she would've stayed clear the mess she's involved in, she wouldn't be caught up now. I really hope she can get out of it. I'm glad CiCi is ok. I hope she get away from Nino before it's too late. I can't wait for part 2 to come out to find out what happens next.

What Keys?
Whew! This story was so good! From the 1st sentence to the very last, I was on the edge of my seat. The drama that unfolded in this book kept me entertained. Keys is definitely intriguing and LaLa is trying to hang on to love, but I'd like to see how they will get out of the mess that was just created. Will they go down and suffer the consequences of this dirty game that is being played?

Chicago hustlers
Dro and LaLa has a real true love story but unfortunately he’s a cheater. Sticking to his word of taking care of her he’s a hustler by every means necessary. CC is LaLa sister and Damion they best friend and they all stick together until tragedy strikes and Damion is no more. Keys straight from NY came to take over the Chi with her hustler mentality she is about to put CC on. This book is a great read

Excellent book
Definitely was a five star read. It had drama, love and a fine ass book bae aka Keyz. I really enjoyed this book. I loved how it touched on two subjects that has been plaguing our news lately: human trafficking and stealing human organs. I can't wait for part two to drop.

So sick of these weak women
No way La La can be that dumb come on. For ain't nothing he beat her cheated on her and humiliated her all the time but she so in love. I'm sorry sick of authors making these women so damn dumb and stupid. The storyline it's self was okay but definitely didn't go with the title. I'm just disappointed 😞😞😞😞😞😞

Intense
This storyline is filled with everything to keep your attention, from love to drugs to drama and even organ selling. Character development well written and relatable. I enjoyed and recommend this five star read. Can’t wait to see how La La is going to get out of hot water. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

First of all I don’t like Dro or Nino. I think Dro did that to CiCi. He really touched Dominic. Ugh Malaika and Lena sound like they stink. La so confused. Dro momma was right leave him alone. I’m mad about the ending I’m ready for part 2. Why she got to get caught with that stuff?
November 23, 2019
Whyyyyy
Why must La be so stupid for Dro???? He’s a good for nothing type of Dude! She can’t see how life is unraveling all cause of his dish that he’s serve while thinking he’s hot! But borrrrrr when Karma hit, it’s gonna be hell to pay! Dedra I cannot wait for part two!!!!

I swear Layla got to be the dummies woman I know. Why would she even try to save Dro after all he did to her? They say the Lord take care of folks and fools and believe me she is pass begin a fool so I pray he take care her. Can't wait for part two. Awesome job!
