About this listen

Devil in Sheep's Clothing by Kiki Swinson
Karlie Houston hasn't seen a raise in forever, but the payday loan office she manages is raking in the cash. So why not get what she's rightfully owed by masterminding a heist? Once her lover Sidney's boys hit all the company's locations at one time, there's a fortune to split. But suddenly bodies start dropping - and Karlie better devise the perfect plan to survive.

Twisted Deception by Saundra
Raised by a ruthless mother, Yazz Armstrong lives by "scheme or die". So she's cool with helping her man, Kevon, take control of head dealer Caesar's territory. And when the fallout racks up unexpected casualties, Yazz finds Caesar's bed a refuge - and his empire hers to help rule. Too bad someone with an even more lethal agenda won't stop 'til Yazz and her dreams crash and burn for good.

2nd story for me

The second story should’ve been its own book imo. The character development would’ve been phenomenal with possible other books to follow. It was so much to cram in such a short time. I love Ebony Mendez❤️💕 she’s the reason I chose this title. Mercedes Gold yells too much, I don’t like it. Yelling doesn’t equal good narration. I couldn’t wait for the 1st story to end

Really Good

Both stories were good. I really liked that Yaz was the one that came off on top but hate that Cesar died when he was the realist. But definitely worth the read.

Two excellent plots ruined by poor execution



Book 1 DEVIL IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING
KIKI SWINSON

I was so surprised at how poorly written this story was as I listened. This felt more like a rough draft than a final version ready for publishing.

Pros
excellent plot

Cons
narrators had 2 modes-sleepy monotone or shrieking that felt like nails on a chalkboard (sorry)
unnecessary details felt like fillers
extremely poorly executed plot


Book 2- TWISTED DECEPTION
SAUNDRA

Pros
excellent plot idea

Cons
narrators had 2 modes-sleepy monotone or shrieking that felt like nails on a chalkboard (sorry)
unnecessary details felt like fillers
extremely poorly executed plot
name confusion i.e. a baby in the story was either called Aliyah or Elijah
ending was supposed to be a twist, but came off ludicrous
