review 1: Oh this book pissed me off !!!! too much shady business going on.It's like when the Macklins moved to Cali everything went down hell from there & just when I thought Tasha & Tre where going to be good ="(First, let me say that I have been a "die hard" Wahida fan. I have read all of her books. However, "this &*#@) RIGHT HERE " was unbelievable (and not in a good way)! We fell in love with Trae, Tasha, Kaylin, Angel and the rest of the crew in books 1 - 3. Those characters are not recognizable in Thug Lovin' (book 4). I feel as though I have been lied to. At the end of Thug Lovin, I hated Trae, was disappointed in Tasha, disgusted by Marvin and saddened by Kyra. I can appreciate the need to "mix it up". But, this was a GRIMY tale. Trae's behavior was inconceivable. The fact ... morethat he cheated on Tasha was the LEAST of his foul behavior. What he did to Tasha at the end of the book is what we tell our daughters, sisters, girlfriends, etc to NEVER accept. It was inconceivable, unnecessary and not consistent with Trae's character. Why take such a loved character and have him beat his wife to the point where he doesn't know how she got on the floor? Are you kidding me? What is that and what was the point of reducing him (them) to that level? Don't devoted readers of the series deserve better than that? How is that possibly 5 stars? Furthermore, the Tasha that we know would NEVER accept that behavior from him. The real shame is that there are so few TRUE showcases of Black Love. The magic of books 1-3 is the message that our powerful connections do exist (contrary to what the media would say) and that they are to be celebrated. What Trae did to Tasha at the end of the book cheapened him and the story told about him and Tasha in books 2 and 3. It went far beyond "shock value". How can he possibly be redeemed? What's next? Does Kaylin shoot Angel? Is Faheem a cross-dresser? Does Jaz develop a crack addiction? We waited a year for THIS? I feel cheated.
review 2: Well Wahida has done it again, this novel was really a great read, I read it in 1 day and can truly say that the Thug life ain't no joke. I could actually read and imagine everything that was going on. The words are raw and yet real to life. This type of lifestyle will take you out of here and what I found is when temptation is served up on a platter and you are not strong in your convictions you may just tip out and do something you may later regret. Drugs, fast money, sex, lies and deceit were all very evident in this novel and it just goes to show that sometimes we put ourselves in situations where we can't just walk away and start afresh. I am so enjoying this series even though normally I would not read these types of books but I have to know what happens next so on to Justify Thy Thug and then to the last one Honor Thy Thug. Keep it up Wahida, I will keep reading! less
