This Hoe got Roaches IN HER CRIB by Quan Millz

Ok now I'm not gone lie.. I was scared at first to read this book based off the title alone!! This book was actually not what I expected it to be, it was better! Of course I gave it 5 stars! Man the details give you the perfect visual of what's going on in the story! I must say I was not ready for that ending though! Now I can't wait to read the next part to this story! Doing a little research on Quan Millz I can see why there is so much controversy over his writing style! I was initially led to him due to constantly seeing his name on my Facebook TL! Now don't get me wrong the titles are very ridiculous but the work inside them are A1 (very Good) in my book! I try to give everyone a chance by actually reading the book instead of going off what everybody else says! I say Quan keep up the good work!! I look forward to reading more from you!

Love's Unexpected Twist ( the series) By Chey!

     This past week I had the pleasure of reading this 5 star series! Now I've read quite a few books by Chey, but this particular series here is now one of my favorites.     Reading this series, not only do you fall in love with the story line but you fall in love with the characters as well. Chey does a great job with making you feel like you are apart of the book.     Book one gave you just enough to keep your mind wondering and wanting more. The ending on book one had me immediately heading back over to amazon to grab book 2 to this series.     Now book two did not disappoint either. I must say it did start out a little slow for my liking but baby... once it picked up it took off. Book two held more twists and turns than a little bit. This kept me wanting to read more and more. With every turn of the page Chey made sure to keep you on your toes.     My favorite character in the entire series was Corez. That man...
