Hood: An Urban Erotic Tale

This book can have you in tears, anger, and fear. When being able to relate to this story, it's so real! I would love this to be made into a TV series because the situations from this book in life do really occur!

After the death of his father Lamont AKA Hood is left at the tender age of 13 to provide and care for not only himself but for his 4 year old brother Moo. His Mother was addicted to that glass dick and there was nothing stopping her from getting it, including her own children. Hood & his little brother Moo soon find themselves sleeping in crack houses, alleys & abandoned cars, eating from trash cans and any handout they could get their hands on.Fat Daddy, a local barber shop owner and well known respected hustler soon notices the two homeless boys and offers them a place to rest their heads. Fat Daddy's roof comes with a price, cleaning the shop & staying in school were two rules that he demanded. Soon Hood shows the local trap boys that his heart is way bigger then his dick, and with his street mentality he lands himself the #1 spot in one of the most lucrative drug empires ran by Xan, a drug lord running Brownsville, Brooklyn. Life couldn't get any better after Hood was given his own team of trap boys. He had his Ace Dreko who was like a brother, and together ain't nothing could stop them. The story explodes from there as we learn about the evil darkness that is embedded in Dreko's veins. Hood soon falls in love with Egypt who is Fat Daddy's pride and joy. Different then most girls from the hood, Egypt has dreams of going to school and becoming a Doctor. Blood, lust and loyalty are all quickly tested and Hood is determined to put the pieces of the puzzle together because shit is just not adding up. Some of the most unimaginable things take place in this novel. From molestation, to same sex escapades, to the reality of HIV and AIDS you will not want to put this book down. If you can handle the gritty truth of the streets, then sit back and enjoy the ride.

Noire latest book, Hood is another dark yet simultaneously satisfying read. This time Noire shifts the setting for her novel to Brooklyn instead of Harlem but still manages to paint vivid images of yet another NY borough that can only detract tourists from visiting. The Brownsville streets have no love for 11 year old Lamont or his four year old brother Monroe who are both homeless and walking the Brooklyn streets on what is undoubtedly the coldest night of the year.Young Lamont witnesses a lick and his street mentality allows him to utilize this as a way to not only get him and his brother out of the cold but to come-up and possibly earn his stripes in Xanbar's lucrative drug empire. Lamont's craftiness is rewarded by Xanbar and Lamont's transformation into Hood begins. But it is also where his struggles begin.Noire does an excellent job portraying how cruel the mean streets can be. And as with all Noire novels Hood contains another male antagonist character, Andreko(Dreko) that exemplifies evil. Dreko's own mother is terrified of her son and casts him out on the streets as well. The same streets that Noire deftly weaves into the story so well that you'll feel as if the streets are an actual character and readers will wonder just who'll actually be able to survive them.Will Hood, Hood's girlfriend Egypt, Egypt's father Fat Daddy, Hood's mentor Xanbar or even the diabolical Dreko survive against the mean streets of Brooklyn? Or will the old adage ring true that the streets love no one? Pick up Hood and find out.

The book is great there’s nothing I don’t like about it. It is a great book, a page turner, very addicting. I don’t want to put the book down lol

This book is so real and raw. This is a good read i didnt want to stop reading. I would like to find out what happened to Hood and Eygpt.

"Hood" was a great book! I was hooked from page one. Noire did her thing, I always know when I get a Noire book it's gonna be a sure nuf page turner!Lamont aka Hood never had an easy life, he started out on his own at age 11 trying to take care if his baby brother Moo on the cold streets of Brooklyn. Their mom Marjay is a crackhead who leaves them to fend for themselves. Hood grows up and gets involves in the street life 100%. Hood's life is never easy and the people he loves most always seem to hurt him or leave him.This story had me hooked and the parts about Moo had me in tears literally, I could feel the pain and hurt. I also felt bad for Zena, and her baby Dreka.This is a must read Noire does not dissapoint!!

This was a good book to read. The storyline never got boring. Hood was a real one. Hood went from Rags to riches.

Hood focus on drama, deciete, sex, drugs, and betrayal I looooved the story line in this book. I am a big book reader who read any where from three to four books a week. I have yet to read a book that gives me the kick that Hood has. Greco by far is my most hated character and I was mad that he didn't get the pain that came along with all the drama he created the way the mother of his child did. Other than that this book was a page turner and I am a big fan of Noire her books are on the same level as Wahida Clark and Anna J.... I recommended this book to a book club and they loved it as much as I did.

Great book, strong message. It's a shame what the reality of life looks like but in this story it was well crafted.

Hands down smashingNoire never fails to amaze with her writing two thumbs up please keep the books coming!! Xoxo
