From the "queen of urban fiction" (Publishers Weekly), Vickie Stringer, comes a scorching tale of love, lies, loss, and the indomitable spirit of a woman scorned.

Mischievous and manipulative, eighteen-year-old Red is an expert at deception with a provocative femininity. She employs her dirty ways -- even faking a pregnancy with her boyfriend -- to win a closet full of Gucci bags, a deluxe condominium full of baby accessories, a new car, and a book deal. But when one of Red's scams backfires and she winds up truly pregnant by her inmate ex-boyfriend, Bacon, she finds herself in more trouble than she's ever known. The drama truly unravels when Red's picture-perfect cons fall apart due to the power of -- surprisingly -- love.

Dirty Red!!! Yes indeed is the book to read. She is the women I wish i could be and all men should be scared of. I have never liked stringers books but she hit it out of the park with this one. I couldn't put it down. You will LOVE "Q". But to throw a wrench in this review....The second book SUCKS!!! Makes you hate stringer for the trif way she ended it. Again its just me i like a happy ending to a hard life lived. If you like Noire "Thong On Fire" you love Red.

This chick is dirty ! Lol I really liked the book ! The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars was because it seemed to be a bit all over the place, making it a little hard to keep up. I had to keep going back to previous places in the book wondering if I had missed anything lol. OTHER THAN THAT, this was definitely a great read! I'm about to purchase the 2nd part now!

I think Vickie Stringer did an excellent job on this book; I am however, looking for a sequel, because I know you've got to let us know what became of Red and Q. Red had more tricks up her sleeve, she had to stay about 12 steps above the game; girlfriend was just trying to protect her own. I definitely want to see what her Mom, Jerome and Bacon gets; Red had to grow up fast and no fault of her own, her Mom wasn't being a Mom. I loved this book, Vickie, so keep em coming!!!

This book is full of Suspense. A really good read.
At first I wasn't too sure, but the more I read it became more interesting. The characters names was a little confusing, but something told me keep going. Happy I did. Can't wait to read the next book.

1st of all why would you just end the story like that? I am mad the story ended like that now I wonder how long do i have to wait for part 6 smdh. It was an ok book it dragged a bit also there were a lot of grammar errors. It was as if the book wasn't edited like it was pretty much rushed. And I'm still gonna read the next book hopefully it be a great read I'll be looking forward to part 6.
