Mink and Diamond have a way of bringing the entertainment that will keep readers entranced. In their latest offering, THE HOOD LIFE, they weave a tale around the men of Bentley Manor. Currently taking up residence in the hood is Rhackmon, a pretty boy who preys on his female lovers. When he turns on his current love interest, he learns the consequences of biting off the hand that feeds him. Demarcus is recently released from prison after doing time on drug charges. Known on the streets as a killer, he tries hard to live the straight and narrow, but it is hard to fight against his nature.
Tavon is a pimp known for pimping his own mother. With a very profitable business in selling flesh, he even has his wife and lovers in his employ. However, when an ex-lover appears with a child he knew nothing about, Tavon has to face reality. Kaseem is not a product of Bentley Manor, he just makes his living off the drug addicts who dwell there. He is the son of a very wealthy and prominent family, he is college educated and well-respected in elite circles. His secret life as a drug dealer starts to affect him when the action get too close to home.
THE HOOD LIFE draws you in and does not let you go until the end. The book is plot-driven and moves easily between scenes. Although the book is part of the Bentley Manor Tales, it stands alone well. Additionally, we are blessed with several characters from the previous books. As Mink and Diamond always do, they penned a highly dramatic and entertaining read. Fans won’t be disappointed.
