So Hood!!

Mark Anthony's So Seductive and Tysha's Keepin it in the Family were ok, but Erick's Gray's Pound Cake was definitely the highlight of this anthology. I really enjoyed reading about Pound Cake and her friends, especially Minnie. Overall, this was a good read. 3.5 stars

A REALLY GOOD READ!!!!!

THE 1ST 2 STORIES WERE VERY INTERESTING ESPECIALLY POUND CAKE, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE TRUE TO LIFE!!! THE VERY 1ST STORY ABOUT THE SISTERS WAS A GREAT READ ,JUST 2 GRIMEY TO BE BELIEVABLE!!!! THE LAST STORY I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE IT WAS A BUNCH OF NON-SENSE!!!! OVERALL IT WAS A GREAT READ!!!!!

A review from around the way!

This book was really good,Im surprised that no one besides me have yet to review it.All the stories were on point,But overall the best story was "Pound Cake" by Erick Gray.He delivered a great story line,unforgettable characters,and a powerful ending as well. "Kepin it in the family" by Tysha was ok,the beginning seemed to drag on a bit but finally picked up towards the end,I feel as though she had a good plot and could have done so much more with the story,But her writing is improving! "So Seductive"by Mark Anthony was pretty decent but the characters he created was just plain dumb to me..
