Gangsta Divas picks up right where Street Divas left off. Ta'shara is finally coming home from the mental hospital after being betrayed by her sister Leshelle. Leshelle is actually in the hospital recovering from Ta'shara's attempt to kill her. They both want each other dead. They also have no idea of what has happened with Fat Ace and Python.

Profit wants revenge on Python and Leshelle so bad that it seems to be what drives him. I love Profit's character, he is so in love with Ta'shara. Lucifer is mourning the loss of Fat Ace, while trying to hold on to the throne that she feels is rightfully hers, since she was Fat Ace's right hand. The entire crew doesn't seem to feel that way, so lines are being drawn, especially between her and Bishop (her brother).

With Fat Ace and Python out of the picture, the Crips see this as their time to shine and leading the way is Shariffa, one of Python's exes. Python got rid of her after she cheated and this time she refuses to lose her position, so she is willing to do anything to prove it.

From page one I was glued to the pages waiting to see what could possibly happen next. De'nesha created such in-depth characters and in this book we get to know them even better, by seeing sides of them we haven't before. I really hate that I have to wait a full year to get into the next installment Boss Divas, but there is so much more to tell about these characters that it couldn't possibly end with Gangsta Divas. Get this book ASAP, you will not be disappointed!
