Urban Fiction at Its Finest!
Diary of a Street Diva by Ashley JaQuavis (two authors writing under one name) is a riveting, urban tale that chronicles the hard knock life of Remy Morgan. Remy has been to hell and back twice. She has lived more in barely two decades than many have journeyed in seven.

Abandoned as a child, Remy has moved from one foster home to another, each with its own set of issues, conflicts and/or abuse. As the story opens, Remy has yet again run away from one of the many foster homes where she has spent a brief stint. This time she has no intentions of returning. Young, inexperienced, uneducated and lacking any marketable skills, the opportunities for making decent money and finding a good job are limited. For Remy, making ends meet include stints on the pole (i.e. strip dancing) and 'cutting' drugs, until she meets Khadafi.

Overnight she quickly goes from rags to riches and is instantly hob-knobbing with the rich and famous as she builds a life with Khadafi. But nothing that has ever come easy has ever been long-lasting for Remy. When tragedy strikes, Remy finds herself quickly on the streets again...until she is rescued by Cease, Khadafi's right hand man. Cease sets out to make good on his promise to Khadafi-that he would always take care of Remy. Finally feeling secure and protected, Remy lets her guard down and allows herself to experience love-Cease style. She believes that her life can have a happy ending and begins journaling her life story. She is unprepared for the chain of events that occur when her diary falls into the wrong hands. Chaos and mayhem ensue, friendships are broken, innocent lives are lost and nothing will ever be the same.

Diary of a Street Diva by Ashley JaQuavis is urban fiction at its finest! Every now and then, I step out of my zone to read genres that I normally would not. With urban fiction, one is guaranteed to have an action-packed, fast-paced read filled with several elements: dealers, drugs, violence, and women who lack self esteem. Albeit, many are not very well-written but most of them are usually extremely PREDICTABLE! I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up Diary of a Street Diva. This dynamic duo has achieved what many have attempted but few have done successfully. They have produced and delivered a well-written, tightly crafted, smooth paced, story-driven urban novel! They actually gave me an urban fiction read that had good storytelling! Diary of a Street Diva was an intense, climatic read with spellbinding twists and turns. Just when I thought the script could not be flipped anymore...they did it again...and again! I was speechless as I sat with my mouth wide open and internally shouted, "No they didn't take me there!"

Ashley and JaQuavis are young in age (late teens/early twenties) but their writing is spirited and has the maturity of a more seasoned team. They have raised the bar for urban fiction; wannabees need not apply unless they can deliver with the same or better quality than Ashley and JaQuavis! Kudos to Ashley and JaQuavis on a job well done and I hope that they will continue to produce storylines that tell a compelling story and leave me speechless!

Keep Your Diary Under Lock & Key!
This was a really good book. Ashley & Jaquavis have done it again! They are a great writing team. Diary of a Street Diva took me totally by surprise at the end. Just like in Dirty Money, the ending was the best part of the book. READ IT!!! Trust me, you'll love it!

Fairy tales

No money more problems. And the rich think they have it bad. Check out Remy Morgan, orphaned and trying to make a dollar. The people that Remy rely on appear to be sick, which leads her from one bad place to the next. Possibly she's quick enough with the grip as Remy may have picked the wrong pocket to trick. Can it be has Remy found her real life prince?

I doubted that two authors would be able to remain consistent. Nice flow.
