mark anthony's story snake to snitch was about two strippers, lexi and lovely, who smuggle cocaine on the side for an infamous hustler. kashamba's story, brooklyn's finest was about, strippers, fire and marcy who stop at nothing to avenge the rape and brutal assault of their mother adrianne. madame k, star quality, was about an r&b singer who has a dark secret that really wasn't that dark. star quality really didn't fit well with the other two stories. overall i'll give the book 3 stars.

Kashamba Williams story Brooklyn's Finest is about Fire and Marcy whom we read about in GFDH2.They are now in Miami trying to see what it has to offer them.Their mother is hooked on heroin which leads her to a near death experience.No matter how others see her, they loved her to death.The girls risk their own lives as they plot revenge on the person that committed a horrible act on their mother.

Mark Anthony's story Snake to Snitches introduces us to Latisha and Lexi.They both are strippers working at one of the hottest clubs in NY.They have nothing but money on their minds so Latisha comes across a man name Pooh who offers them a profitable hustle than stripping but things turn bad for Latisha and Lexi and they must decide to become Snakes or Snitches.

Newcomer Madame K's Star Quality is about a singer,Star Marshall who is the envy of every woman and desire of every man.This diva does have her share of problems.Onstage she allows others to control her but behind closed doors the tables turn and she engages in a secret life that could ruin her life if exposed.

For the most part I would give this book 3 1/2 stars.
Out of the three stories,I only found two of them to be very good.Brooklyn's Finest and Snake to Snitch were page turners for me and I flew through them.The last story Star Quality,It took me forever to get through.By the time I reached the middle I wasn't feeling it but I still finished it and I still wasn't feeling it.

This review is from: Girls From Da Hood 3 (Paperback)

This installment of the series was a disappointment. The writing & story plots were weak. The did put the stories in order of interest. Of the three stories, "Brooklyn's Finest" was the best, which still isn't saying much. Two sisters who are strippers seek vengeance for their mother's rape and attempted murder. The plot was okay and the ending was fitting. It had the grimy street scenes that make the series. "Snakes to Snitches" was okay. Two strippers think they have found a way to become hood rich but of course the plan goes sour. As the story went on the plot got weaker and the ending was lame. The plot wasn't believeable either. Just shows that some women will do anything to make a few dollars. "Star Quality" was just an all-around mess. Plot all over the place. Writing all over the place. Supposed to be surprise plot twists were slightly confusing and not good at all. Wasn't a "hood" story at all and this girl didn't exhibit any of the classic "from the hood" character traits.

The more I progressed into the book, the more bored I became. I was tempted to start flipping pages. I kept reading to see just how bad it would get.
