I was terrified this book was going to be the one where the series fell off - and it wasn't! A few of the twists you can see coming if you have an eye for detail and listen to your intuition but that doesn't make the book any less for me. The ending is explosive!
I'm not going to say anything about specific situations because I hate adding spoilers to my reviews but you will not be dissappointed. King has flown by almost all others as my favorite author in the urban fiction genre. There is really only a few authors that can pull off a series like this and have everyone be a five star book - King and Dwayne Joseph are the only two I've found so far.
This is absolutely awesome! I do have to say that I hope she doesn't take the series thing too far. With Stackin Paper and Trife Life both having sequels I hope she knows where it should end. If they're like this they could keep going for awhile but if they're not - shut it down.
I'm a little scared now about part 4 - how is she going to pull this off with Maya? I'm worried it's going to fall off but this one didn't so I'm sticking with my hope that this won't either.
**There is a nice discussion on her blog about this series with comments and a poll on who should be Aaliyah's father, Supreme, Nico, or Mike. As of this morning Nico is winning at 50%, Supreme is slightly behind him at 47% and Mike is at all of 3%. I voted and can't wait to see who was right!**

The Bitch is back was my favorite because she had her baby Aaliyah and showed how much she cared for her but the sad part was that she had sex with Nico because she thought her husband was dead then she was raped by Mike then right after that happend and her husband came home she had sex with Him and now she doesn't know who the father is.This book was also interesting because she handled her buisness on her own like when she found out that mike was out of jail.So I learned that women have to be strong and brave to get what they want.

Part three in the Bitch series finds Precious Cummings and her husband, Supreme Mills relishing their lives with their daughter Aaliyah, in Los Angeles. But their serenity is quickly shattered when Pretty Boy Mike escapes from prison. Unsatisfied with his prior attempt at killing Supreme or his rape of Precious, Mike is back to wreak more havoc, especially since Mike feels that Aaliyah is his daughter. With no one aware of his escape, Mike is able to gain one up on his intended targets and sets off a diabolical chain of events.

Mike’s treachery snaps Precious out of her reprieve and as the title implies the bitch is back! Unwilling to allow the police to do their job or even allow Supreme to protect them Precious jumps back into bitch mode to protect her family. Willing to do whatever it takes Precious’ tactics and stubbornness places an undue strain on her marriage. Undaunted Precious continues until she can flush out Mike and the person or persons in her or her husband’s camps who she feels are assisting him.

Author Deja King effectively keeps the Bitch series going with new mayhem and murder. Fans of the first two installments will definitely enjoy part three. Usually followers can tire of a series by the third time around but Ms. King manages to keep it interesting by utilizing intriguing story lines and character consistency.

What did you like about the book?
The author stayed true to the characters, especially with the main character Precious. Character consistency is very rare in sequels making fans leery of reading them due to uncharacteristic behaviors.

What did you dislike about the book?
The cliffhanger! Fans looking for closure will be shocked to see that there is yet another installment in the wings.

What can the author do to improve the book?
I really felt that the series should have ended with part three. Although the next installment’s set up is intriguing, book three should have provided Precious, as well as fans of the series, closure.

Overall good book.
Deja king keeps coming back with more for Precious.

Precious finds out her daughter Aaliyah as been kidnapped and she know it's Mike from his phone call but, to try to convince Supreme she had to go thou a lot of measurements to prove that Mike has esape prison with the help of Ricky.

Mike believes that Aaliyah is his daughter so Precious let me keep thinking that in order for Mike to not hurt her.

In the mean time Maya is upset because she thinks Clip is cheating her.

Supreme starts to think that Clip has something to do with his daughters kidnapped.

Precious finding clues to who maybe working for Mike and get a bit of information that leads to a hide out that Supreme has his people watching.

Maya in the meantime had her own reasons for having Clip nothing to her but, a pond in her plan.

Precious find out where Nico is and goes and warn him. Meantime she feels like her and Supreme isn't as close as they used to be.

The end was a blow out so now I am on to reading part 4 to see what else Precious has in storge to get out of the problem she is in.

Smh.... WHERE to begin. Quick read for me, because I was just in too deep ! Lol, I have NO idea where this story is leading to, thanks to the end, but I did felt like there were a lot of "I knew it!" and "Oh sh*t!" moments for me. I admit, sometimes black lit, or "ghetto fab, hood reads" sadly some people refer books like this too, I am a sucka for. I can't wait to read book 4, because it just seems like no one wants Precious happy. I'm a little shocked about the ending tho and with Maya. P.S. (maybe a little spoiler??) But I was not happy at all with the Nico and Precious scene. It's been a while and that's how they reunite? I understand the circumstances but, I just felt like it should have been more intense than that, I mean they had the same cheesy stroll down memory lane with Rodeo Drive, I would have expected more. W.e. it ain't about them, but..... who knows with this story!

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better. This book is great. I can't believe Maya was playing that good friend role all along. She wanted to Supreme and to be in Precious's shoes. They don't know that she was on the phone with Nico. It was set up to make is seem that Clip was in on the kidnapping of baby Aaliyah. Cause I was thinking it was him until Darnell got shot. Then I realized Devon was shady. Maya started looking shady when the detective tried to question her. I can't wait to read the next book to find out how Precious get out of this one. Also who is going to save her Nico or Supreme or will they work together. Can't wait to read when Supreme and Nico both find out baby Aaliyah is Supreme's daughter.

I enjoyed reading the first and even second book, however, this one was so predictable from the minute it said she had dreams of kidnapping Precious' daughter Aaliyah, not trusting their nanny. Then, there it is KIDNAPPED. Secrets being unleashed was still a little known for me. I skimmed through the pages, hoping to get to the good part. I waited years later to tap back into this sequel. Her fans must really wanted this to continue. 2.5 stars.

I just love this series! Deja King has definitely got it going on. This book was suspenseful, yet somewhat predictable.. but over highly entertaining and enjoyable. The endings of her books always have me so hype, and eager for the next one! Precious is usually so ruthless, but in part 3 she had calmed down quite a bit while she's searching for her kidnapped daughter. Will Precious EVER get her happy ending? I really can't wait to find out!

And The Series Continues.

As I have commented about the other two installments of this series, Ms. King has a wonderful talent for turning out a great story. The locations and the characters are so very realistic. I'm on to the next episode asap!
