Can't wait for the next book

I really enjoyed this series and can't wait to read the next book. The author gives great detail and brings you into each characters life so you feel involved.

Love

I just love this series. The way the girls talk remind me of how my girls and I use to talk when we were younger. It's a lot of Caracters to keep up with but I cant stop, I must keep listening

a reunion of sorts

This is the first Hood Rat book that does not have a GANG of Hood Rats (in my opinion). It is only 2 newbies: Malika and Jada. Now, as my mini review suggests, there are a lot of returning characters that resurface, some are a surprise and others are not. But the surprises are intense in this book, I literally had moments when I was like damn so thats what happened to ???. And then at the end, I was like naw mane it can't be? That's not possible. In true Hood Rat fashion, this book has a drama filled plot and you will enjoy it from start to finish.

JUICY LIKE BOOTY MEAT~MY type of BOOK didn't even have to turn a page~SMOKE & CHILLI like the names GUCCI/ANIMAL~

Loved it !!

But This is where animals story took a turn for me At the end Because after this book a lot of the direction animal was going in and things that happened Turned into a marvel or just became a little bit unbelievable.

bet say less it is what it is now we can go are wa

I'm over the whole thing yall got it I have more important shit to do this is a waste of my time and money

Can't wait for the next one!!!

I truly did enjoy this book. After listening to Section 8, I was hooked on this series. I loved the characters, especially Animal, as they kept me on the edge of my seat. That man is a beast! At times it was hard to get into the story with the narrator playing both male and female voices as well distinguishing what one character said from another, but I'm sure a re-listen would clarify. I do wish there was more going on with Tionna, but what Gucci was going through made up for it. She really should have chilled out. Those two detectives hounding Animal and his crew got on my nerves as did Malika's son for being hard headed. We never find out who shot Don B, but we did find out he is a punk! I was surprised to learn after further researching on the author, that there are two more books in the Hoodrat series, Hoodrat & Still Hood. It seems also that all of the author's books are tied to one another. I just love stories like that where the plot thickens. In addition, I was happy to find out that there in another book to come called Eviction Notice. I hope audible.com would consider putting all of K'wan's books on here as I would surely listen.

did not disappoint a bit

I love how some charters from the 1st boon are still goin and I still hate don B he soft

1ST AUDIBLE BOOK - GREAT CHOICE

I LOOOOVED the story line and the narrator. I look forward to listening and/or reading more from this author. It's my first Audible book and I will listen to it again and DEFINITELY recommend it to my friends.

I'm not done with it yet but I'm looking forward to the end... Stay tuned

awesome

i loved this book especially the way the narrator did animals voice he did a wonderful job
