I was looking for something different and damn if this wasn't it. My mouth is still agape at this ending. I'm also pissed because the sequel needs to be out ASAP.
A Black female separatist cult set in Atlanta. Similar to Handmaids Tale but worse. It's designed and run by Black women, and they are powerfully connected everywhere. This is a stand alone book, but I understand that there are other series of hers that tie into this one.

Dis is Tew Much!!!! In the best way. I will admit I almost didn’t finish and wanted to quit at like 20%. I was confused. There were too many characters, I had to literally take notes because I couldn’t keep them straight. Time jumping from the past to the present. Location jumping from the “real” world to “behind the walls.” This fraction and that fraction. I mean none of it made sense…at first!
Then worlds collided in a real way and it got really good. Then it ended. Raw. Loose ends. Unfinished business, More twist and turns. With not one of the thousand story lines wrapped up.
My mind is blown. I want to see how it all comes together and end, but I’m not sure my mind can take more falling down the rabbit hole. Very unique and fresh story telling. Definitely intrigued.

Wow this book was so good and deep . Im just so mad at GIGi and the choices she made concerning her son. Pandora world will soon be turn upside down . The cult beliefs and values are not aline with what they say they are to empower black women. Reading this book at me on edge and wanting more. cant wait to read part two !!! First time reading a book by this author but it want be my last time .

BWS
Whew I didn’t expect this book subject but I devoured it in two days. I love the back story, seeing the two sides of BWS from inside and outside and Alpha, Omega and Deuce! This is a start of a outstanding series that will get you thinking and keep you on the edge of your seat. Bravo on another great book.

Whew what a story. So many connections. So many lies. So many secrets. I feel like we were left with so many questions. Pandora and Erin know something is amiss. Raven is annoying but her and Desmond are great comic relief. I felt bad for Serai but she needs to get it together. Khalin is so bitter. Every time I feel bad for him, I’m like he ain’t ish. Uhhh what’s up with Stacie and her crew? Can’t wait to read about the other factions and how they operate because this one is full of lies! The chaos in the end took me out!
A few grammar mistakes and the font size kept changing throughout the chapters.
Meanwhile Raven… lmao.
