Resumen del Editor

Three women form an unbreakable bond in a sexy, suspenseful, and adventurous novel about empowerment and sisterhood through thick and thin.

Venus McGee, Draya Carter, and Jackie Benson are coworkers with a lot in common. They’re smart, independent, driven, and deserving of recognition - certainly more than they’ve been handed by a demoralizing boss. He’s the topic of conversation at their impromptu get-together after the company holiday party, where the threesome fantasizes about a life without him. There has to be an alternative to taking a deep breath and sucking it up. There is. It’s just not the one they expected.

When morning comes, Venus, Draya, and Jackie are blindsided by murder - a twist of fate that brings a startling new challenge to the table and forces them to navigate a hair-raising detour they never saw coming. For better and (unless they can help it) for worse, it’s going to turn their world upside down. What starts as a necessary bond of mutual trust soon morphs into an empowering and galvanizing friendship that Venus, Draya, and Jackie need now more than ever.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“This is Homicide: Life on the Streets meets 9 to 5 meets Bridgerton in a story that screams to become a TV series. Part thriller and part mystery, this delightful story of friendship also celebrates sex, love, and family.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Arthur develops each of her main characters so well that readers will root for them all.”—Library Journal

“Comical, unique, and heartfelt…The After Party is a smart, tantalizing feat you won’t want to put down.”—Shondaland

Great Read!

Venus, Draya and Jackie are fast friends who work together at a company with some shifty activities going on to include the murder of their boss. Together, they must work together to figure out who the murderer is before they're next.

So Good!

I am not an avid reader so I needed something that would hold my attention. I loved the story line and drama that unfolded in the story. Such a great read!

Cool Neat

I loved this book. I recommended it to friends. This book is a great Christmas gift.

Awesome Story

The book was great! I started off mad but as the story went on friends and family were mad. It was a beautiful read.

Sisterhood with 3 different personalities.

I love that’s theses 3 women overcame their personal societal issues and found love among their friends families.

Be careful what you wish for!

loved it! It was very suspenseful, up until the end you did not know who was doing the killing and who was behind it.

‘The After Party’ was good..ending..meh

I must have read every single review of ‘The After Party’ mostly 5 stars & the ones below weren’t bad either.

First Bahni Turpin as narrator, is as usual, great! She never disappoints the reader.

I didn’t finish as quickly as I thought because overall I wasn’t thrilled with ‘The After Party’

This follows a group of best friends and each chapter covers a particular girl. Whether it be trials & tribulations of their day to day lives, or in particular the event that is taking up their lives everyday.

Overall I think there’s too many chapters & way too many words..meaning “she looked at herself in the mirror, went to get her leather coat, put her both arms in her coat, took her keys off the table & opened the door to leave” Those wordy sentences just makes you want to roll your eyes..

BUT to be fair I enjoyed this book. It had its laugh out loud moments too. Definitely recommend but would love to see if others agree with anything I said..Enjoy!

Funny & Entertaining

Three women with very different personalities come to learn about friendship after their boss is murdered. A sassy story that will keep you laughing.

She came through!

A little slow at first, but don't be fooled by that....it was all the things!

Meh

I started so I had to finish. I always enjoy this Narrator so I figured I’d give it a try. The story isn’t bad, but it seemed a little unrealistic and more like a BET movie. I did enjoy listening to the friendship begin and evolve between the ladies.
