emotional tense fast-paced

4.0

Finished in less than 24 hours including sleep time!! This one stays the course with the lies, murder, betrayal and I ATE IT UP! The only thing that GRINDS MY GEARS are the TYPOS!!! The book was published 10 years ago but did they not have editors back then or something. And I hate when they mix up characters names. One part mentioned Breeze being at the wedding in Saudi Arabia but a couple pages prior it stated Breeze stayed in Miami with the kids!! 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ All in all I’m ready for book 6!!

I listened to the audio book. Great story line. Really enjoyed the finale. Wish they would be more consistent with the level of wealth and popularity of the Diamond family. It can get confusing.

What can I say? I hated the Carter storyline. I understand why but hated it. Glad to see the ladies take over and expand the empire.

I kinda just want this to be over…

Carter… Miamor… Money… nobody dies. 

Fly Boogie is crazy and weird… and connected to Mûrde r. 

Yasmine was too much and now they have to deal within Baraka. 

Breeze is just taking up space. Leena has bedhopped now she’s so loyal. 

Aries is a true friend and can’t shake the Murda Mommas no matter how much she wants to. 

Let me read book 7 to see what happens…
