Kiniesha Gayle writes the near perfect tale. The story kept me wanting to know more I would have given the book a five accept for the minor editing problem through out the book but Ms. Gayle is said to have a sequel to King of Spades that I defiantly can't wait to read.

The King of spades is one of this year's smash novels. When reading this novel you will feel like you're in a movie. Miss Gayle takes you on a wonderful roll a coaster ride that will have you at the end of the ride with your mouth left wide open. Natalie "BabyGirl" Smith made a promise to her self that she would track down the killers of her parents.

With all the turn of events in this wonderful roll a coaster ride you will have to find out is there a King of Spades of is it a Queen of Hearts. This book is a must read.

Miss Gayle has shown she that she can play with the big timers. Once you read the King of Spades you will be on the edge of your sit waiting for the sequel, The Queen of Hearts. This book is a MUST READ!!!!!!!!

Let me say this first, I'm not tryin to knock Ms. Gayle's effort. But I must say I found it very hard to read this book because it jumped all over the place! It was told from too many character's point of view, then in the middle of a chapter it went from 1st person to second or third! Crazy! Nice try, but I found it very annoying.

i thought kings of spade was a good read, however, i was disappointed when i found out the sequel was non existent. it looks like readers of this book has been anxious for part 2"Queen of Hearts" for a few years. I hate i bought this book just to be left hanging.

If you think King of Spades is good you need to get the sequel Queen of Spades. I read it and I must say you will not be disappointed. In Queen of Spades Baby Girl and the girl are back at it again vowing to get payback and takeover the record label but someone will not sit back or rather lie down and let them do it. You will have to pick up your copy to see what I am talking about. I guarenteed you will not be disappointed. See if Baby Girl get rich or die trying.

I think that Kiniesha did her thing in this book, but I am always slightly irritated when one of the main characters do something to blow my mind in the end. I think that Baby Girl was most def hot, and her girl Sandy is popped. To make the long story short if you have not read this then do so.

Natalie "BabyGirl" Smith vowed to avenge her parents murderers but in her quest for vengance she becomes a pawn for Pitbull. Pitbull has a huge axe to grind against his business associate Chin, the head of Hustle Records. Chin is trying hard to turn his illegal profits into legal ventures with the help of his fiance Porsha and his business partner Tony.

But Chin's enemies lie closer than he can ever imagine. With Pitbull working on his team and his ex Chyna befriending his wifey Porsha the deck is definitely stacked against him. When you add in Pitbull's crew of female fatales in the form of Dimples, Sandy & BabyGirl you have an unforgettable tale of deceit and double crosses.

With this cast of unforgettable characters Ms. Gayle weaves a tale that is a true page turner. Can one innocent girl come out on top in a game where only the strong survive? Natalie "BabyGirl" Smith is a character that readers will root for till the last page.

In this debut novel Ms. Gayle has proven herself to be an up & coming author to reckon with. This one is a must read!!!!!

i PERSONALLY LOVED THiS BOOK & i AM WAiTiNG FOR QUEEN OF HEARTS TO COME OUT. iT WAS JUST FiNALLY A LiL DiFFERENT FROM ALL THE TYPiCAL URBAN NOVELS OUT THERE. SHE DEF CAME WiTH A TWiST TO iT.

My title sums up this page turner. I finished this book in less than a week. As two reviewers mentioned earlier you have to pay close attention to the characters b/c Ms. Gayle gives alot of details.

Hint: This book has a sequal.

I can't wait to read it.
