Is it possible to overcome shady behavior? Well in STILL SHEISTY: PART 2 by T. N. Baker, the sequel to Sheisty, we learn if it's likely. Epiphany Wright, Keisha Moore and Shana Scott continue their drama-filled lives from book one. Because of her gold-digging ways, Epiphany finds herself near death and a close friend actually dead. When she awakens from her coma, she doesn't remember what happened which is a good thing for a gangster named C-God and his partner Ness because they are the ones responsible. If Epiphany remembers, their best bet will be for the cops to get them first because street justice can be a killer.

Keisha does the unthinkable due to loneliness. She has it all: a nice job, a beautiful home, a child, and a man who would do anything for her, but she tosses it away for a brief romp in the sack that was unfortunately caught on tape. But was it really her fault? Or did she have some help from the little green-eyed monster?

With her man, K. C., fresh out of the joint, Shana is doing her thing and keeping it real while making some money. But she has a secret and is praying K. C. doesn't find out. Sadly, someone else wants a piece of her action and is willing to blackmail her to get it. What price is she willing to pay to keep it a secret?

This was definitely a page-turner from beginning to end. Ms. Baker did an excellent job capturing enough details from the first book so that STILL SHEISTY could stand alone. The drama was so thick that I found myself caught up in the lives of the main characters from the get go. This book was about what goes around comes around. Each of the main characters taught a lesson about the choices we make and the repercussions that follow. You may be getting yours now, but, in the end, there is a price to pay. Although I enjoyed the action-packed, drama-filled pages, I felt some fine-tuning was needed in the editing department. There were enough typographical and grammatical errors to make this a distracting read at times. Despite that, this is one book I'm sure will be a big hit with the hip-hop generation. (RAW Rating: 3.5)

I will say that I enjoyed "Still Sheisty" much better than the first book. Ms. Baker took the challenge and improved her writing which can only get better as time goes on. She made sure to have more action with each of the characters and the story was a serious page turner. I look forward to her next novel.

Although I liked this novel, I can only give it 3.5 stars. Why? Ms. Baker may have stepped up her writing game but the editors at Triple Crown aren't even at the starting line. I don't know how the authors submit their finished work at this publication but I do know that it is a crying shame that on almost every other page of this book there were grammatical errors and typos. I will continue to say that Triple Crown needs to be more professional in what's being printed. You will continue to be perceived as a "ghetto book company" if you don't correct these mistakes. It takes so much away from the story. I think that you are also taking your customer for granted. Fifteen dollars is a lot to spend for one book, it's not too much to ask that the mistakes are at least kept to a minimum.

Also, when the reviewers are reviewing the book, it's not necessary to give away all the details, just say if you like it or not!! There are too many reviews on here where people are telling everything that happens, including the end.

Even though I never read part one, this book is GOOD!!! Epiphany is a light-skinned beauty whose gold-digging ways almost end in her death. She wakes up from a coma, not remembering who did the dirty deed but her friends Keisha and Shana have a pretty good idea. Keisha lets her loose lips end a seven year relationship with her sons father Tucker. The girl she was bragging to was trying to take her place and would stop at nothing to be down for Tucker. Shana help her boyfriend K.C. down when he was locked up but she has a secret that could ruin them. Smitty, K.C. 's patna is hitting her up for 40% of her ecstacy sales to keep the secret to himself. But unbeknownst to her, K.C. has some of his own secrets. What will happen to this trio? Cop the book. But remember: You reap what u sow!!

I have read both SHEISTY & STILL SHEISTY. I must say that the latter was better than the first...and the first book was on fire! T.N. Baker has written a book that I don't know how she's going to top off her next book. The last 40 pages of STILL SHEISTY burned my fingertips. If you want an "excellent" hood rich book - get this here book! I enjoyed the book. If you haven't read part (SHEISTY), I recommend so. The author has written part 2 (STILL SHEISTY) independent, but yet, peeks your curiosity for read part 1. Check out T.N. Baker's handiwork. You won't be disappointed!

We all know we couldn't wait to read the sequel and I couldn't put it down. Part 2 was more devastating then part 1 and the girls had me rolling with laughter, omg's and tears in the end. I had to remind myself once again this is just a book but how can you. The author needs to have a part 3 and like I said Epiphany needs her own book to tell her story. The ending to me was unexpected which is good bad damn yyyyy....In all I enjoyed the book and took some knowledge from it as well Pay back is a B!@#$...and what is done in the dark will always come to light. It also reminded us that everything happens for a reason and at times you may not know why but God has his plan for us and all we have to do is follow it and to put your trust in him for all your trails and tributlations you may have in life he can handle it for you if you let him into your life and accept him as your Saviour.

I have to say that I enjoyed part 1 better than the part 2. However both were really good. Being that I read part 1 months earlier, by the time part 2 came out I practically had to read part 1 all over again. I wish it had ended differently.

I just finish Sheisty- Part Two and it was really good I couldn't keep my eyes out that book I finished it in one day... Keep up the good work.

Still Sheisty was a great sequel. I read Sheisty, but Still Sheisty was written in a way that if I hadn't read Sheisty I wouldn't be lost. The author does a great job at intertwining pieces of one into two. As I read I felt a part of the story as if I were one of the characters. I couldn't wait to reach a new chapter to see what was going on with who next. As a reader you will become engulfed in the lives of all of the characters. I felt the pain, trials, and tribulations of Keisha, Tucker, C-God, the Wrights, Shana, K.C., and yes, even Epiphany. I would have rated this book 5 stars, but Triple Crown Publications MUST find an editor with a better eye for detail. This book (as with many of their others) is riddled with typos and mistakes.

When you read a sequel you expect it to start of where the first book ended. Unfortunately most sequels don't. T. N. Baker you did good girl!! "Still Sheisty" continues exactly where "Sheisty" ended. Epiphany, Keisha and Shana are back with more drama than you can imagine! Pregnancy, prison and death all play a part in this Essence Best Seller. Yes Ms Baker the spotlight is on you, and you deserve it. The story is well written and I enjoyed this book more that the first one. Keep up the good work T.N.

Wow I can't believe howthis book ended all I can say is I was speachless. And that LEA girl I would kill her if I could I had to remember it was a book. Go get it you won't be mad.
