Not Another Thug Story 3
Action, action, action, and more action in Not Another Thug Story 3. Kudos to Shiloh and Demarco as well. Thug life is NOT for everybody, even if you're born into that Carter family.

Two words: WHAT THE F*CK! Just when I thought I had things figured out, Desiree decided to hit me with the okey doke right at the 85% mark. I thought I knew what I was reading, but it wasn’t until I read the last chapter that I figured it out.
Montana: THAT BOY IS A LIAR!
Koda: Koda is the only white boy in Desiree’s catalog that I will ride for.
Lauryn: BRUH! WHAT THE HELL. Desiree really played in our faces when it came to Lauryn at the end.
Hazel: She will forever be a mess to me! I wish we knew who was the …
Cashmere and DeAngelo: I’m kind of bummed we really didn’t get to see them develop much more in book 3. For all of that to happen in books 1 and 2 and then for them to fall flat in books 3 kind of sucks.
Morgan and DeMarco: I LUHHH THEM! They definitely were my favorite couple. The ending with them two was chief’s kiss.
Tori and Yayo: Again, boring.
Junie: He will forever be on my shit list.
The Carter’s: One big and crazy ass family that I couldn’t keep up with. LMAO!
All in all, the Not Another Thug Story series was pretty good and entertaining. If you like mess, I’d suggest reading it.
Okay, now lemme go read Bambino because I need to know more about Tuesday Carter. 👀

Everything is a lie and I’m glad because my guy was moving funny in the light! So glad this book made me realize I’m still Team Tana.

Story time
So basically Montana wrote a book inside of a book lol but I’m happy it picked up right where it left off. Koda got his story told in a disloyal kind of way but I enjoyed it nevertheless. Reading the older characters make an appearance and then get involved the way they did, even though it was good for the story I’m happy none of it was true! One more book where the truth is revealed and I’m done with Tana story.

Another page turner!!!!
you can't stop writing...I'm looking forward to reading your work for years. One of my fave authors now. About to start on Kove...yessss. you the bomb.com Azura. I was too through with my gurls dying, didn't want it to end like that. Should've known Demarco dad had something to do with it. Ready to read more on DeAngelo. I miss reading about my carter's too

Definitely a page turner
I’m left trying to figure out how I feel about this series. This has truly shook up my life, the relationship I developed for these characters is nonexistent....what I went into this book thinking has been replaced with I don’t even know..... Desiree had totally fuk’d me up. Guess it’s on to the next so I can give an actual book review. These endings have me needing to be admitted......
Happy reading

Wow
This book was written really well.I admit at times I was confused but baby when I pieced it together. I was like Jesse's because for a minute I was mad when I thought the Carter women died. Then I remembered Amari saying she wanted to be a part of the story and he could kill her off.Whew, okay bullets dodged. lol I also feel the title is befitting because it was so much more than a Thug story. I'm ready to head Nicole's side because she wasn't spilling any tea to anyone.

Good in a weird way
I was ready to complain about Demarco and Lauryn characters actions and behaviors not aligning with how their characters initially presented themselves. However, because it was basically revealed that the story didn't have to make sense, I won't complain. It has been a really good series that I put off reading, because I had no interest in reading about the Carter's after the first book that led us to the Carter's. This author is pretty amazing.

Not Another Thug Story 3
Desiree does it again! This has been my favorite book of the series. Montana is finally done telling his story and I was kind of surprised at the end. I had a feeling it was Montana that Nicole was keeping a secret from whenever they were in the club and she took a pic for her boo.l, but wow!!! This was a great read!!

A Rollercoaster ride of EPIC proportions.
This book had me turned every which way but loose & the last section 🤯 I was not ready!! I think my heart stopped for a nano-second because BAYBEEE that was a trip! Still making my way down the list of books! Having to take a break to jump back into Drew Collins university (#iykyk)

4.5 ⭐️This book mind fxcked me in the end, but I loved the concept.
I just wish we had gotten more depth with Tori and Yayo, I wanted them to be my favorite couple but their story fell flat. Demorgan is my favorite couple, and I really liked koda and hazel. I’m loving how Montana turned out to be in the end. This was a good read

Had me at the edge of my seat
I was really into this book. First book took a minute for me to keep going but the more I read the more the book kept me going. About to start on Kove. Been reading each of her books in order. Great writer.

Wow
I really didn't expect it to end like that. And with Lauryn being killed was cold. Why he do her so dirty, then Trellis ain't even listen to her. But like they say watch the company you keep.

Girl you did that
So it’s crazy how Montana is telling the story and we just wake up and he’s like sike they ain’t dead I’m over here like what the hell just happened. I enjoyed how you built up the excitement.

WTF
Y’all Desiree can write her ass off and I’m here for all parts of that. When I say every emotion is in this book “sayless”! I’m so blown right now and I loved every minute of the ride. On to the next!

I am just in love with this author… she gave me a total mind fuck with this story. Engrossed from book one, had me in tears just for this plot twist?? If that’s not an amazing story teller, idk what is.

not another thug story review
I just feel like Desiree as an author can do no wrong. I do not like how she ended this book, but I am most definitely interested to read the next book. Also, unless I missed something did all the women die besides Olivia or am I Trippin?

Mind blowing to say the least...
I love the adventure, suspense and drama of it all. Can't wait to read KOVE I know it'll be a page Turner like all the previous books.
