Publisher's summary

The queen of the street lit genre, De’nesha Diamond pens tales about the toughest ride-or-die chicks ever to roam the streets of the Dirty South. In Street Divas, four powerful women vie for total control of the Memphis hood, and they aren’t about to let past loyalties get in their way. While Lucifer is hitting the streets to get her revenge for a deadly shooting, Essence is hitting the sheets - with her best friend’s man. And Yolanda knows her path to power lies with her baby’s hustler father, but Queen G Leshelle is dead set on keeping this game all to herself.

A Good Listen

If you could sum up Street Divas in three words, what would they be?

Captivating, Mysterious, Cliffhanger

What was one of the most memorable moments of Street Divas?

At the end when Python suspects Mason to be his brother due to the birth mark on his neck that they both share.

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I love all of their voices, it add's a voice to the face created in the listener's mind.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, I didn't want to stop listening

Any additional comments?

I can't wait to hear the follow up to this story.

This book is better than the first.

The overall storyline is great! I like how the characters back story was told in this sequal. The only con I can point out is the obsession with anal sexual activity!!! Other than that this is a very entertaining read!

Loved it but.....

I would definitely recommend this book. The only thing I didn't care for was how old the narrators were sounding, especially Lucifer. Essence sounded like and old grandma sometimes. But overall it was a good read!!

EAR TURNER ( page turner)

Gripping and Reviting!! Excellent listen, very engaging story. All readers were excellent performers. Highly recommend to anyone who likes a street drama.

Good Read

If you could sum up Street Divas in three words, what would they be?

What was one of the most memorable moments of Street Divas?

the End I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Mad, like are you serious you just going to leave me hanging like this until next time..

WOW

The females in this series is off the hook and deadly. I can't wait to read the next installment.

Chicks out of control

If you could sum up Street Divas in three words, what would they be?

Women running S*&!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Street Divas?

When LeShelle got what was long overdue from her sister La'Shara.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

I think they should have had the same narrator for this one that did Hustlin' Divas. I think her name was Honey something. I really liked her and her sound effects. These narrators had none. They just read the words. I felt like I didn't know any of these characters because of the different narrators.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not really I just felt bad about Essence.

Any additional comments?

There were a few inconsistency like when Yolanda said that she didn't know Baby's real name until she went to the funeral in Hustlin Divas and then turn around in this one and say when she was meeting with her children say that she named her 3 year old daughter after her. Then Momma Peaches says that she can't go and see her husband in jail because she's on parole but then when she needs to ask him a question about him being Mason's dad she all of a sudden can get in and see him.

But all and all I loved the story.

Good Book.. But the Repetitiveness.....

Where does Street Divas rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would give Street Divas an overall six.

Would you be willing to try another book from De'nesha Diamond? Why or why not?

Yes, I'm currently trying to finish the Street Diva's series. I am on book three currently.

Would you listen to another book narrated by the narrators?

I would.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I listen while at work. Keeps my day flowing.

Any additional comments?

Yes the repetitiveness of this book(s) is crazy. If I hear "peppered with kisses" or "Like a murder scene" one more time... I will scream! I really wish the author was a bit more creative with the word play. If you are reading the series ready yourself. These phrases are so over used.

wow!

I am ashamed to admit how much I enjoy this book and series. I feel like I am a fly on the wall in the lives of the characters.

Still a great story

Wish they had kept the original narrator from the first book, Hustlin' Divas. She made the characters more realistic. The change threw me off. It took me about 5 or 6 chapters to adjust. The story is still exciting and the book leaves you wanting more. I already got the next one.
