Slim is That Bih

I loved this story! Slim was that Bih that was Quinton's ride or die and she definitely rode for her man till the end! Now my ni**as Quel and Mel rode for their friend till the wheels fell of and they got his back! Now I can't wait for Part 2 to come out because I need to see if they breaking my dog out of jail and I have a feeling that slim is not dead! This book is a must read!

Satisfied Reader

When you're smart with degrees bit srill street if need to be. I love thses men characters. They will do anything to protect the people they love. Quick was still the man of the city but jealousy had him sitting down for a min. They just dont know that the beast had been unleashed. He loved Carla with everything in him. Mel and Quel are about to turn the city upside down. They aint ready

1st read by this author. Good action packed chapters. Likable main characters. Slim was determined to ride or die regardless of what Quick told her. Mel & Quel were all about their business, loved the dual roles. Even James had heart. Good beginning of series, looking forward to finding out who's the mystery person

Great Story

I enjoyed reading this book. So many twists, turns and secrets. Very action packed towards the end which had my attention all the way up. That ending has me wanting more. Have to start part 2 I need to know if carla is really dead and who shot the guards at the funeral home.

Wow.....

I surely didn't expect this ending. Wow.... I didn't even expect Carla to die. But atleast she took out JT before she died. Quick is gonna lose his mind now. I'm glad that they got James back. I can't wait to read who's trying to kill Quick. Great job mama! This was fire right here! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

State of SHOCK

This book was awesome from page one!!!! It was action packed. It was well written! I advise everyone to read this. So many snakes, betrayal, and backstabbing. The ending killed me.

Good Read!!

Don’t do this to me PLEASE don’t let Carla be dead she can’t be! I swear she loved her man with her hard headed ass! I loved this book and the loyalty the friends have for each other but I’d like to her more about Carla’s Friend Who’s dating Quick’s Friend!!!

Great debut! This is the second book that I have read by this author, and I can already tell that she is going to be great! She writes about relatable characters, adds depth into their back stories, and has a good storyline and flow. I am looking forward to Part 2! :)
