Anything to get Rich and she ain’t talking about money!

Baby a 51/50 ain’t hardly enough for Samiya Savage’s crazy tail self! This woman was a looney tune adventure😵‍💫😵‍💫! Of all the psychotic ish she did in this book, what happened to Rich wasn’t one of them! In all honesty he got what he deserved because yall married men gone get enough of being foul! Didn’t “A thin line between love and hate” teach you anything?! These women be minding their whole business and here yall come selling dreams wishes and lies all for a piece of 🍑. Oh well no sympathy🤷🏽‍♀️! I did feel bad for Nevada tho because she didn’t deserve the heartache!

Samiya had me thinking she was about to tell a whole story to clear her name on the stand and the whole time she proved just how crazy she truly was 😩😩

Octavia I need a break from you sis because you got me looking at folks sideways 😅…. I’ll be back for more next week 😆

Samiya ain’t right in the head

[Gabby Penn Farmer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Octavia!!!
What did I just read?!
And how did you even come up with a character like Samiya?!
Delusional is not the word to describe her.
I guess good 🍆will make you crazy!

Samiya Savage lived up to her name. Savage almost feels like an understatement for her 😂

When will men learn? Rich was a cocky idiot.

[Anna J. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Octavia has mastered word play. All facts! What I thought I was about to read, and what I actually read was so far off I’m embarrassed to even admit it !😂

Samiya Savage… home girl had issues. Like, she was an entire delusional mess. Mental illness is real, and if you didn’t learn anything from our good sis Reesa, Samiya is a quick reminder to be careful who you meet and take home. Sis was wild! And dude jeopardized everything for one dang night.

The ending caught me completely off guard. So much so that I had to read that one part again because I wasn’t ready to accept what I just read as what I really just read.🤦🏾‍♀️ Like, people are CRAZY, and Samiya was a real Savage. Classy, bougie and ratchet as heck😂

Some of the story was a little confusing, but overall an excellent read.

“Yes, I do have final words and they are:

I played the hand I was dealt. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t change a motherfucking thing.”

Omg!! What the hell did I just listened to? The narrator for this audiobook truly brought this story to life!! I was on edge the entire book but the last few chapters really blew my freaking mind 🤯🤯🤯

This was a certified ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ story!

Ms. Grant, ima need you to work on getting this into a movie asap cause wtf?!?!

How am I suppose to sleep after listening to this story??? 😭

WoW!

This book was delicious from beginning to end. The whole time, reading Samiyah's story I constantly shook my head at her obsession over Rich. I thought Dina was a good friend that was simply fed up with her shenanigans. Nyema, that woman irked my nerves but I was glad she got to tell her story and why she was the way she was. To have it all come to a head in the end was indeed a WoW! factor.

[Nay Pages · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nahhh shawty really had problems, and I'm so glad they made the right decision. Samiya really had no remorse with her actions as she stated she would do it over again smh, I feel sorry for Dina's parents and Neevah they were the only true victims in this story. Although Samiya was a victim as well, based on her childhood background, her trauma just made her a monster, perhaps if she got help from young.

[Shunita O · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book had me shookith, Samyia was the epitome of a delusional unhinged woman, I know good dick will have sista acting a donkey. But her delusions took on a whole new meaning for the words unhinged and delusional. What shocked me the most was she had killed her momma and best friend years prior and it was only until she lured Rich to his death that her mother and best friend were figments of her imagination.

i cannot believe what I just read.

This chick was one thousand percent a certified coocoo lol. I don’t understand how one can become this delulu…but baby the image in my head of her could be right next to delusional in the dictionary. She really made all this up in her head and befriended Siri 😂. Oh my goodness.

This dag on Octavia and her mind. I swear she has my mouth dropped every book she writes.

Whew Child

When I say this is a page turner. Twisted, with all the crazy a sane mind can hold... This short story has you pull in from the first page and just when you get to (What the hell ) just happen here it's over...
That Octavia done it again😅👏👏👏

[Sydney Renee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Savage ain’t even the word

Our MFC was crazy as hell. Actually she’s more than that. She was insane and all kinds of delusional. Then the twist at the end of the story. Oh em gee! Just read it y’all!

[TellsOfABibliophile · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pyscho Samiya Savage 🤪

I loved the title of this book. It was not what I expected. Samiya Savage was really a certified psycho. Octavia really has became one of my faves when it comes to urban thriller.

[Dreia · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wow!! I’m still speechless. Samiyah was insane!! Like the definition that man let her know in so many ways that he didn’t want her and it was just a one night thing and she wasn’t hearing it. This was the true definition of if I can’t have you no one will. Octavia has done it again

[Carlos Dancy · Rating 5 out of 5]

dark twisted tale

Samiyah endured a lot of trauma throughout the course of her life. You never know how far gone somebody is until you end up at the wrong place at the wrong time with that person. This was a very interesting read!

[Nakyla · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gots to be more careful

Everything that glitters ain’t gold.
Men you better start thinking with your big head and not the little one
Samiya was psychotic that poor lady needed help
I most definitely didn’t see that story ending like that

[Tequila · Rating 5 out of 5]

That hoe Samiya got everything she deserved she was truly a sick person soo happy she died

[Tanakia Harris · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting tale of a psychopath. I loved it it seemed so real.

[Whitney Cotton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing

Thriller wasn’t expecting any of that. The title makes sense. I loved the book Samiya was something else. Somebody had to pay.

[Yvette Waite · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent

This book was excellent from beginning to end. I had to read this book in one day I couldn’t put it down

[Tamii McGee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This

Okay... I'm definitely feeling a lifetime movie here. The plot twists, the characters. This was definitely an enjoyable read. Thank you

[Tee Coss · Rating 4 out of 5]

Samiya Savage! This woman was beyond psycho. Definitely didn’t expect the twist of her best friend Dina and her mom Nyema being dead. Craziness!!

[Sherri B · Rating 5 out of 5]

Delusional and Messy

This is why I love Octavia! Just when I think she can’t possibly write even more delusional characters….here she goes again! Just so good!

[Jess · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is basically the female Dear Vicky. This is crazy 🤪

[Keshia B. · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book. Samiya Savage was one of the most insane characters that Octavia Grant has written. I went in blind and I suggested you do that as well.

[TheVanityDoll · Rating 4 out of 5]

In true Octavia fashion….this was the most delusional ish I ever read 😂😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️

[bountifully B · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a funny fun ass book. Samiya definitely needed medication help but sis was really wild bro💀💀💀

[IJustCame2Read · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow!!! Just Wow

Octavia has a tendency to have you thinking what did I just read and this is that… I swear I read the reveal chapter twice because I was so flabbergasted. 😳😳

[Courtney Allen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wow, I am speechless! As I dive into Octavia Grant's entire catalog, I feel like I'm meeting a new and increasingly wild character with each new book I read. Each story just takes a more astonishing twist than the last! I was completely blown away by the ending of this book—had no clue the characters she interacted with throughout were dead! What a brilliant and unexpected reveal!
