The Grant's are a well-known family based in Atlanta due to their success in the pharmaceutical industry. However, their family dynamics isn't what it is believed to be. Secrets that are prayed to be left in the dark finally come to the light. The question is ... Is the family strong enough to uphold their legacy, and what would you do to uphold it?
Loved every moment of this book, I truly enjoy reading from this author🤗

This book was not the best from Briann, it seemed like it took forever to get to the point. I didn’t like how slow and naive some of the sisters were. And then it also seemed rushed. It’s forsure different from her other books, but it didn’t have me hooked. It took a min and then when it did, i only kept reading to see what happened! It’s definitely going to need a part 2 bc of the cliff hanger! But overall, still good. I feel bad for the oldest Mia just bc she really wanted love and now she experienced heartbreak twice, so I hope to hear that she genuinely find love the next time around. But, i am forsure looking forward to the love story of Teyoma, she been through a lot. Also, I’m not a fan Hazel boyfriend. I def think she can do better, but we’ll see what happens!

Abuse, lies, deceit, and greed—who can you trust as family secrets are revealed? What’s done in the dark shall come to light.
I loved the relationship between Mia, Hazel, and Teyona. Despite their flaws and moments of conflict, their bond remained strong. They supported each other through thick and thin.

This was my first book by BriAnn Danae, and Jack Girlz Atlanta delivered a mix of suspense, family drama, and high stakes. The story follows three sisters—Mia, Hazel, and Teyona—who were born into wealth thanks to their pharmaceutical mogul father. However, their privileged life is anything but perfect. Their father is a heartless tyrant who mistreats two of the three sisters, as well as their mother. He’s a dictator with dangerous secrets, and when his past resurfaces, threatening their mother’s livelihood, the sisters must come together to unmask the truth.
What I Liked:
• The suspense kept me engaged. I found myself asking questions and trying to piece things together about the sisters as I read.
• Each sister had a distinct personality and a unique voice, making them feel like fully realized characters.
• One of my favorite aspects was that the sisters weren’t waiting to be saved—they had to save themselves, using their wit and resilience.
What Didn’t Work for Me:
• The pacing felt off. Given how much time was spent building up the plot and the climax, I was sure there would be a cliffhanger and a sequel. Instead, the majority of the action happened in the last 15% of the book, making it feel rushed for a standalone novel.
• The overuse of the miscommunication trope between the sisters was frustrating. Despite being family, their bond didn’t feel as strong as I expected, making some of their interactions hard to believe.
Overall, Jack Girlz Atlanta had an intriguing premise and strong suspense elements, but the pacing and lack of believable sisterly connection held it back from being a favorite for me. I’d still be open to reading more from BriAnn Danae to see how she handles different storytelling approaches.

Secrets always find a way to come out. What is done in the dark shall come to the light.
I knew from the beginning, this was going to take me for a wild ride and it did.
It was so much going on between the 3 sisters, then the parents having their own secrets.
I did love the relationship the sisters have. They had their flaws and moment but that didn’t take away from the bond they had together. They stick together thru the thickness of it all. I respect their sisterhood!
Everything came together and it all made sense at the end of the day.
I love how straightforward and easy this book was to read.
It was so much happening at one time but no confusion at all. It all came together as it should!
Thank you NetGalley & Black Odyssey for the arc!

This was my first book by BriAnn and now I see why so many people swear by her writing style. I was hooked. Devoured this story in one day. I can't wait to read more by this author.

A story of greed, power, lust, betrayal and murder that captivates the audience from the beginning. This story was very interesting and had me instantly wanting to know more about the characters.
I enjoyed the story line of this book but the execution was not quite where I would have expected it to be. I wanted to like the book more because of the author but the story seemed very rushed and fell a little short.
While the story was intriguing, lots of information was missing in order to make the story whole. An explanation of how the mistress ended up linking with Jarel. It was also as if no one cared about him in the end when he was the cause of the sisters detriment. The biggest part was the reconciliation of Kimberly and Teyona. With the story centering around Teyona's birth which created all of the chaos and events in the book, the audience should have been able to get a look at Teyona and her mother, Kimberly, discussing everything and the readers did not get that closure. It was also a little weird that with the drama being a chain of events around Teyona's conception that Mia, the older sister was the main character.
Although the book lacked in some areas, this was a GREAT storyline that kept me wanting to solve the mystery. I rated this book 4 stars but it was 3.5 stars.
Thank you for NetGalley and Black Odyssey for the opportunity to read this ARC!

I’m very familiar with BriAnn Danae’s work and really enjoy her books. This one was different than what I’m used to from her. There was a lot going on and at times a bit difficult to follow. I felt like some story lines were dragged out while others were lacking. I set it aside at one point as it no longer held my attention. I also questioned the title until its reference at the very end of the book.

Thank NetGalley, BriAnn Danae and Black Odyssey Media for gifting me with this arc in exchange for an honest review.
From the beginning i was locked in and couldn’t wait to see how this would unfold. Abuse, murder, lies, who to trust and family secrets all happen to take us readers on a ride.
I loved the sisters and their bond. You can tell they may get on each other’s nerves but the love is there. They become even closer as weird things start to happen that raises their suspicions. This starts their deep dive into their parents and things start to make sense one secret at a time. Matthew Grant is one sick human being who is power hungry, selfish and controlling man that can’t let go. Putting down his own daughters is nasty work.
My favorite sister is Hazel. From a young age she knew what was up and didn't cave to the bs. BriAnn this book was amazing and i loved the twist and surprises.

2.5/5. Unfortunately, this wasn't something I enjoyed enough to give it a higher rating. However, I did like the mystery/thriller aspect of this book and finished it because I really wanted to solve the case and figure out what was happening.
PROS:
- Really engaging mystery component!
- Strong female leads.
CONS:
- The timeline was a bit all over the place and it would have helped to have timestamps or a clue to who was narrating at which point.
- There wasn't much character development or backstory with minor characters. I found a lot of these characters forgettable.
- This is minor, but I don't understand what the book's title has to do with the story?
Overall, I wouldn't count this author out. I just don't think this book was for me.
Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!

The story captures the essence of sisterhood intertwined with ambition, betrayal, and the pursuit of a lavish lifestyle, making it an engaging read for those who enjoy thrilling plots. One of the strengths of this book lies in its character development. The sisters are well-defined, each bringing their unique motivations and flaws to the table. This depth allows readers to connect with them on various levels, understanding their desires and the lengths they are willing to go to achieve their goals. The dynamic between the sisters adds an intriguing layer to the story, especially as their priorities begin to diverge. The plot itself is fast-paced and filled with unexpected twists that keep readers on edge. Although I appreciated the unexpected twist I did find them somewhat predictable. However I did appreciate the authors writing style ! The dialogue felt authentic, contributing to character development and enhancing overall engagement with the plot. I appreciated how seamlessly she blends drama with moments of introspection among the characters. Overall a decent read ! I would be willing to check out more

Loved it!! BriAnn Danae does it every time for me can’t wait to get my physical copy when it releases.

The Grant Family: A Twisted Tale of Betrayal and Secrets
The drama, the suspense, the spice! It's all here in the story of the Grant family, where a powerful father becomes his own family's worst enemy. This is a man who built his empire from the ground up and will destroy anything and anyone that threatens his business or reputation—even his own family.
* Mia: The eldest and seemingly her father's favorite. Mia, a hospital worker, turns a blind eye to her father's ruthless dealings. He demands she quit her job and work full-time for the family pharmaceutical company, but Mia craves a life outside the family business, a life that includes her boyfriend, Jarel. However, her father threatens to cut her off if she disobeys, and a shocking revelation about Jarel throws her world into chaos.
* Hazel: The rebellious middle child and an artist. Hazel despises her father, convinced he's responsible for her mother's accident. Cut off and desperate for money, she hatches a plan with Mia to steal drugs from their father's company and sell them. But the plan goes terribly wrong when her boyfriend gets caught in the crossfire, and a mysterious figure appears, blackmailing Hazel and threatening to expose the Grant family's darkest secrets.
* Teyana: The youngest, yearning for her father's love and attention. Ignored and neglected, Teyana goes to extreme lengths to earn his affection, but her world is shattered when she becomes the target of sinister threats and finds disturbing messages left on her car.
* Kimberly: The mother, silenced for years by a tragic accident. Trapped in a loveless marriage, Kimberly desperately seeks a way out. But escape is no easy feat, especially when her past resurfaces in the form of a familiar face. Now, she must find the strength to protect her daughters, even if it means revealing her own deeply buried secret.
"Jack Girlz Atlanta" is a drama-filled book, a tangled web of secrets, lies, and hidden motives. Each chapter unravels with shocking twists and turns, leaving you breathless until the very end.
My Thoughts:
While I was captivated by the plot, I agree that more date stamps would have been helpful to establish a clearer timeline. It was also a bit disorienting when the focus shifted between the sisters. Maintaining a consistent structure, perhaps dedicating each chapter to one sister's perspective, could have created a stronger emotional connection and allowed for deeper exploration of their individual struggles.
ALso While the story itself is gripping, I'm left wondering about the title "Jack Girlz Atlanta." It's unclear how it connects to the Grant family and their struggles.

The Grant Sisters—Mia, Hazel, and Teyona—are introduced as children overhearing an intense argument between their parents, Matthew and Kimberly. That moment becomes the catalyst for events that will shape their lives in profound ways, revealing how the past can leave a lasting mark on a family. As they grow, the sisters each take their own path, navigating a complicated web of secrets, betrayal, and loyalty.
As someone who doesn’t have sisters, I was drawn to the way this story highlights the complexities of sisterhood. It beautifully captures how three women, raised by the same parents, can turn out so different yet remain deeply connected. Mia, Hazel, and Teyona are relatable in their struggles and triumphs, and their bond is both messy and unbreakable.
Matthew’s manipulation and blatant favoritism create tension that spills over into every part of the family dynamic. His actions spark some of the most shocking moments, and the way his secrets unfold kept me guessing. Every chapter offers new twists, and just when I thought I had it figured out, the story threw me in a completely different direction.
This is a bold, gripping tale of family drama, resilience, and the fight for what you deserve. It’s packed with suspense and heart, leaving you eager to uncover every hidden truth.

Have you ever read a book that made you genuinely feel like you were watching a movie? This book was THAT. It started off slow, but I feel as though this helped me really get to know the characters before the actions popped off. This story followed the Grant family, and they are very well known. All I have to say is never underestimate what a family is willing to do to hide their secrets and keep their reputation!
Mia, Hazel, and Teyona are three sisters trying to figure out how to navigate the rights and wrongs in their family while trying to maintain their own lives and relationships. I will say that I loved this book. It had a great plot and the story really sucks you in. This had the right amount of mystery and thrill to keep you hooked and wanting more. In the end I still needed some questions answered but I'll use my imagination lol.

I have read quite a few books from this author and this one is my least favorite. I felt the story line was good but I felt like it took a long time to get to what was going on and then when we got it, it wasn’t enough. If that makes sense. I felt that in earlier in the story we should’ve known that Eve was a customer and that Karter sold to her and not Hazel. I felt that it should have been more given to the story on Jarel and why he was doing what he was doing. I liked the suspense but I felt like once we got the info it was quick and that’s it. Maybe we could have gotten his point of view? I don’t know. I wish it was more to his story as well as the sisters. I felt like a lot of the story was left unfinished.

I really liked this book! I love BriAnn and I was excited to read a suspense novel written by her. I liked the story. I liked the writing and how it felt like peeling a layer off the more I kept reading. The sisters were good characters. I loved the sisterhood between Mia, Hazel and Teyona. While I know Matthew was the real villain , I didn’t felt bad for Kimberly though. I didn’t like that Hazel didn’t feel bad about the whole Evelyn thing and also I disliked that Jared was pictured as a villain when his motive was absolutely noble at the end of the day.
While I liked the pace of the story, I still felt like the beginning was really slow. There was still some loopholes in the story. The things didn’t get an explanation. We never really knew how Jared and the Mistress got to know each other. The way Ricky and Sharon just moved on from their revenge after Jarel’s death was too easy. Jared wanted to get at Matthew when Hazel was the one selling drugs didn’t really make sense to me.
On an other note, I loved Deshaun and Teyona, they were so cute.
Overall it was a good real but I needed a bit more suspense and angst.

Thank you NetGallery for this ARC. This is my first book by BriAnn Danae and I must say it was pretty good. I enjoyed this book and I would recommend it. I enjoyed the writing and the characters. The build up was definitely intense and kept me engaged.

ARC Review
Thank you NetGalley and Black Odyssey for the advance copy.
We are first introduced to the Grant Sisters: Mia, Hazel, Teyona, when they are kids listening to an argument between their parents Matthew and Kimberly. The events that happen that night have profound consequences for the girls and their parents, leaving the reader eager to continue to turn the page.
This is a story of sisterhood with a splash of f**k around and find out!! The Grant sisters went after everything they were owed and some. This was full of blurred lines, suspense, family secrets, betrayal, and a sprinkle of spice. I enjoyed reading this so much it put me in the mind of shows like Queen Sugar and Greenleaf. Fast-Paced, bold, and intriguing.
I really enjoyed the suspense of this novel, and the different twist and turns this story took me on. I will say Matthew Grant has enough secrets for his own book. He got exactly what he deserved! I also was a fan of how the story was narrated, and there was really secrets in every chapter keeping you going. As soon as you thought you figured it out, the author surprised you! Again!
If you are fan of family dramas with a mix of suspense definitely check this one out.

Jack Girlz Atlanta is my first book from this author, and I was beyond excited to read it. It did not disappoint! Hazel, Teyona and Mia are the true definition of sisters and know the true meaning of loyalty when it comes to each other. I enjoyed all 3 of the sisters but I felt my heartstrings pulling for Teyona a little more out of the 3 of them. I wish the author would have given us a little more background regarding them and their parents, but I will say that Matthew is one of a kind in the worst of ways. There was no love in my heart for that man and I don't want to say why because I really don't want to give anything away. I will say that I think that any reader that decides to read this story will not be surprised by how much they enjoy it. This story gave me everything that had me hooked from beginning to end and it left me looking forward to reading more books from this author. It's a story I will be recommending to book loving friends that enjoy some drama, deceit. schemes, secrets, a bit of mystery and more.
