Publisher's summary

At 19 years old, Celess and Tina are at the top of their game. They’ve got the looks and the bodies to attract attention from men wherever they go—and they work it. From New York to Philly to Vegas, they hit all the clubs and every big party dressed to kill. And they don’t pay for a thing—not with men like O, Tariq, and James lining up to buy them designer clothes, the hottest jewelry, and luxury cars.

But their fast, packed lives are about to catch up with them. The two share a devastating secret, and when it’s revealed, Celess will need every ounce of her street smarts to survive.

Critic reviews

Here is Miasha’s stunning debut novel, with a twist that will leave you shocked.

"…beneath the litany of shopping and screwing, lying and dodging, the tension bubbles—Tina and Celess know they're playing a dangerous game….Scandalous and engrossing, this debut from Miasha shows her to be a writer to watch." ( Publishers Weekly)

"Gritty and gripping….Miasha tells it like it is." (Karen E. Quinones Miller, best-selling author of Satin Nights)

"Miasha writes with the fatal stroke of a butcher knife. This book is raw material. Squeamish readers beware. You want proof? Just read the first page." (Omar Tyree, bestselling author of Boss Lady)

Whats Next?

I read Diary of A Mistress by this author and the book was great. So I purchased this one! I loved this one just as much. It was detailed, stayed on track and the ending was clear. I wasn't baffled about anything. Very good book. The only thing I was disappointed in was not the author but audible for having part 3 and not 2 of this book. I am ready to find out how the characters recovers from their past.

Thumbs Down

I don't like the narrator. She doesn't sound authentic, sounds forced. She needs more hood in her voice.

great story, terrible reader

OMG!the story was awesome, I didn't want to pause it to go to work. The reader on the other hand was terrible. She had no emotion, she couldn't distinguish between a happy part of the book or a sad part. When she was readin the part about the funeral, u couldn't tell whether he was describing a funeral or just household decorating tips. That woman does not need to read another story!

Interesting ending

Would you listen to Secret Society again? Why?

This is an interesting read (listen). It kept my attention and is a real insight into this world. The book is believable but, the narrator takes some getting used to!!

"Short" but Good Book

I really enjoyed this book, really short and to the point. "Please note" you have to have an open mind to read this book. If you have any issues with Homosexuality then this is not a good book for you....

where is book 2?

I saw the movie and the 2nd movie but I need a book 2 with more details

Secret Society

This book was very good, I read it over and over again...a must have!!

Same like the movie

I watched the movie before I read the book and I can say it’s they both the good

The world of Celeste

Well this book was not what I thought but it was a good book. I loved the fact that Celeste was just like women dealing with the hand she was given. I didn't realiZe that she and her best friend was transgender. . I hope Celeste finds happiness. The book is worth the credit. I will get book two.

Secret Society

Any additional comments?

Secret Society (Secret Society 1)




First off, I have to pat myself on the back for listening and completing this book, I see I have matured some. Secret Society by, Miasha is a book I would not read, nor listen to for that part, not because there was anything wrong other then the subject matter, which involved the two central characters, Celess and Tiny.

First I listen to the Audible.com version, which was narrated by, Claudia Aleck who by in turn did a wonderful job and it felt good to hear her voice once again after becoming acostomed to her picturent power of verbal illusions. The audiobook was published by Blackstone Audio Inc., it plays for 4 hours and 16 minutes long, which is not bad at all for such a well rounded, fast pace story.

The author Miasha calls herself a writer and she is mistaken, she is much more than a writer, she's a Storyteller. When you can enchaned and captured the being of your readers and transpored them to another demension, which voids them the knowledge of themselves, transforming them into that "fly on the wall," you have gone beyond the scope of writing, but you have created a solid foundation within the space of a persons mind from an illusion makes you that of a Storyteller.

The story is about two young peoples working hard to obtain something quickly, which can only be obtain with vested time and oneself. Now you know I never say much about a story because if I tell it to you, then why read it. -But as I said had I known firsthand about the main characters lifestyle, I would not picked this novel to listen to, or to read and the reason for that is because I'm a man, and at my age I know that to be a fact, so their lifestyle challenged me and I was not bothered by Celess and Tiny being who they were, and who they are, and what they do turns this into a must read or must listen to novel. These two ladies give gold diggers a run for their money, and as life would have it when live in the fast lane, you are bound to crash and that does come to past.

I gave Secret Society an 4.5 out of 5 stars. The book is a fast read, with a fast pace storyline. I do believe you would enjoy it even if it's not your normal cup of tea. You might even learn a few things.
