Loyal gang member Essence discovers friendship has lethal limits when she falls for her best friend’s man. Ever-ambitious Yolanda is angling hard to go from a king hustler’s baby mama to his one and only. But Queen G LeShelle will betray any trust and take out any obstacle to make the game hers alone. And when these four women push their vendettas past the point of no return, it’s a war only the most deadly diva will survive. Praise for Hustlin’ Divas “A nonstop, hard-hitting page-turner.” —Tu-Shonda L. Whitaker “Diamond’s ear for street talk comes across loud and clear . . . a violent and profane tale, which launches a gritty new series. The divas here are realistic characters, and the pacing zooms . . . one of the best constructed street lit stories of 2010.” —Library Journal
