'What's mine is mine...all mine...', November 24, 2009
This review is from: Last Bitch Standing (Paperback)
Precious Cummings is the hurricane that your local news channel failed to warn you about. She's raging, she's furious, and she's out for blood. Queen Bitch left Precious fighting against her frenemy, Maya, one she'd taken in and befriended only to be duped and betrayed in her very own domain. Maya has skillfully schemed and ensnared a confused Supreme into thinking that Precious had left him for her past love, the infamous Nico that Supreme despises as well as fears to some degree. Pulling up stakes, Supreme, Maya, and baby Aaliyah have left with no forwarding address, and upon Precious' conquering yet another near death experience, she arrives home to find it void of those that she loves more than life itself.
Precious' lifesaving love, Nico teams up with her in her quest to find her family and wreak havoc on Maya. Their gangsta is doubly deadly as this duo search high and low; uncovering every lead they're given. In the midst of their investigation, Deja ingeniously navigates a connection with Genesis and CoCo into this novel. While also revealing answers to long awaited questions with just a hint of the mystique that she elicits with Precious and her beguiling aura.
Last Bitch Standing is the long awaited finale to the tumultuous life of the renowned and respected Precious Cummings. Her life has entailed a lifetime of bad choices, unforgiveable acts, yet her gangsta mentality has intrigued many that make her acquaintance. Deja has evolved an almost iconic persona with Precious and the various dilemmas she has encountered in this series. Now last but mos def not least, she engineers this novel with heart stopping, exciting, and hypnotic scenarios as the reader encourages Precious' plight as a mother and wife to find her family and claim her rightful place as the Queen Bitch. Is she memorable? Yes. Is her lifestyle questionable? Yes. Is her mindset fascinating? Yes. Is her style able to be duplicated? Will she be the Last Bitch Standing? This will be revealed to you within the 175 pages that Ms. King has brilliantly penned and fulfilled the request for Precious to be able to exhale and find closure. Now whether she's standing up or lying flat on her back, you know what you'll have to do to get this answer don't you? Stand with Deja as once more and again `my gurl' rocks tha house in this King Production. The word `bitch' has never had so much class, sass, and pizzazz! Ms. Deja...do that then! You already know lil mama! I tip my hat to you and your rapid and magnificent `pen' game!!!

She's Back!, December 3, 2009
This review is from: Last Bitch Standing (Paperback)
Precious Cummings Mills is back in this explosive new book.When Queen Bitch left off Precious was scrambling trying to find her family and Maya. Maya has taken over Precious' life and moved her family to Miami. Nico and Precious are traveling from state to state hunting for her family without any real idea of there whereabouts. When a tip leads them to Philly they connect with another dynamic duo, Genesis and CoCo and the action begins. This book is by far the most action packed. I gave this book a 4.5 because the end seemed rushed and left me with a lot of questions, but still a great story. I have to give it up to Ms. King her writing skills are only getting better.

(RAW Rating: 3.5) - The End Is Never Over, July 7, 2010
This review is from: Last Bitch Standing (Paperback)
If you have ever seen a raging bull as he cleared a spot with his hoofs raking the dirt or grass, preparing to attack because someone has invaded his territory, then you've seen Precious Cummings. Precious is back and this time she is out for revenge and blood. Maya, her former best friend, has taken her family and tried to kill her; and Precious wants her dead.
To execute the traitor she must first find her, and once she does, she will viciously do her harm. Nothing but death can satisfy this mother out to honor, protect and save her family. But she needs help to find her family. After going through hell on earth with violations to her body, mind and soul, she runs to her former lover, who nurtures her back to health and assist her in tracking down her family and Maya.
In THE LAST BITCH STANDING, the fifth book in Deja's popular Bitch series, she incorporates characters, Coco and Genesis from Stacking Papers. Unfortunately, this book came off a bit soft, with less of the excitement shared in books 1-3. In each of the previous books, Precious was much tougher and deadlier. In this novel, I didn't feel as much excitement and action. However, if you followed this series, you may continue to turn the pages to know what happened.
Finally, the book felt rushed. Situations were touched on lightly and feelings shared were weaker, plus the book was short. Although Deja answered the questions, there was not that "umph' factor present. You know that feeling when you read something and you have to go back and read it again to be sure? That adrenaline boiling excitement that the previous books had was missing, but Deja gave her readers some of the answers they wanted.
