My first reactions when I finished:

I loved this book!  I couldn't put it down!  Kane scares me and I wonder what is going to happen in the next book.  Can't wait to read it and find out!

My Review:

Allexis is such a sweet girl, but what happened to her at home by her dad was terrible.  I am glad she went to live with her sister Tina.  It's too bad that she got mixed up with Kane though.  He seemed like a sweet enough guy to her at first, but then he started to show what his true colors are.  I was scared for her and hoped that she would hook up with Joey.  I can't wait to see in the next book what happens!

I love the cover!  It's very different from any other book cover I've seen.  This book had such a great flow to it, and the font in this book made it very easy to read which I loved.  The characters were very believable and the author did a great job building her characters.   

I am really looking forward to reading more of P Dotson's books!

Favorite Character:  Allexis. 

Least Favorite Character:  Kane.

Quote: P. 94

Allexis started up the car.  Their conversation left her wondering.  She wondered what he meant when he said he would be the father that her real father couldn't be. And she wondered what he meant when he told her don't play games.

Book Review - Chedda Boyz by C.J. Hudson

A blood thirsty, money hungry street gang from Cleveland hell bent on lockin down the Marijuana trade. With the Chief of police in their hip pocket, they seem to be poised for a long run of dominance. 

Big Mo heads up the vicious crew and anyone in their way seems to disappear. It looks as if nothing can stop them, but looks can be deceiving. One by one, each member of the six man crew run into a life changing situation that not only threatens to rip the crew apart from the inside but put their lives on the line.
 

Murder, betrayal, lust, and revenge all comes to the forefront and culminates with a gut wrenching secret that might just do what no one else can, destroy the Chedda Boyz.

From Goodreads 

Cover Inspection:

Looks like a gangsta book, but it looks like the woman in the picture takes a big role since she is in front and the men are hanging out in the back.

First Thoughts:

So Big Mo is the leader of the Chedda Boyz and they were selling weed and murdering people.    Mo has some kind of secret that he is keeping from his girl Stacy.  I want to read and see if I can find out what this big secret is.

My Review:

I've read a few street lit books so far, and wondered how this would be in comparison.  If you have ever read a street lit book, you know someone is going to be killed and there will be drugs and sex.  The killings in this book really surprised me.  The sex in this book -- it definitely gets the juices flowing.  There was one part though that kinda made me sick.  You will have to read it and just see what that's all about.

There were quite a few characters in this book and in the beginning it was a little confusing, but the author really did a good job of making the characters come to life for me, and I got to know the characters a lot better throughout the book. 

Overall this was a great read.  It was full of action, of course I mentioned the intense sex, and it had twists and turns everywhere.  I recommend this book and give it 4/5 diamonds and I will be buying the next book  Mo' Chedda because I want to see what happens next!  He definitely hooked me and kept me wanting more at the end!
