  Wow! I haven't been brought 2 tears in years. Noire always rocks my world with her stories, and this 1 is no different. I was hoping 4 a napping ending 4 Eva and I did get, but. So I'm putting this here tale on my TOP shelf.

  so good, a very intense read. Noires books are ones i never thought i would read but i have read all of hers now and loved every one of them. They seem to suck you in and you cant put it down once you start.

  I downloaded the audiobook from my library to listen to. It was just sad all around. I felt so bad for Eva - she was such a strong woman even though she endured so much. I was not expecting what happened at the end. Brody definitely was an evil guy.

  2.5 rounded up
  Intense characters, nice pace to story, but too much rape and sexual cruelty for me.
  Did not see that ending coming.

  Extremely gritty novel about Evita, better known as Eva. Her life story is one of the worse case scenarios one can imagine. ..and then it gets worse thanks to her cousin Fiyah who decides to make a deal with the devil aka King Brody instead of standing up like a man. He doesn't even know he's selfish because growing up there was no one to teach him with the exception of Eva's dad. Although he blamed Eva for getting him knocked to begin with, it was actually he who made the decision to take the weapon from Eva to begin with. The brutality Brody imposed on the females he encounters is never explained. Deep read with only .5 deducted due to the shameless plugs scattered throughout, lol. Recommend.

  Another great book by Noire, I love the way she writes her books, it's grimmey and ruthless, anything short of girly. This book was sad but understanding, goes to show how selfish people can and will hurt anyone to please themselves even if it means hurting their own blood w

  Wow! This was a different kind of Noire book. I won't spoil it for those who haven't read it, but let me just say the ending is a shocker.

  The plot was good. However, I kept getting lost with the characters. I could picture Brody nasty ass as one of these Jack boys from the hood.

  Too much cussing not enough sex for my taste....if the author had substituted the cuss words for actual screwing.. this book would be hot. Gave it a two because a one is like tipping someone a penny. I really dislike any author or publisher who slaps the word EROTIC on books to pull in readers who are seeking outright SEX. That is what erotica is. This book was on my tbr for years. Glad I got this crap off my tbr...it was painful to read.

  This book was good. I hate to see or hear about parents not protecting their kids. It’s disgusting. I was glad that Eva overcame that but it’s said to see family throw you under the bus or drag you into mess. Overall the book was pretty good. It was short and straight to the point.

  There is just as much, if not more, killing and raping as there is erotica. Just not my thing I guess.

  Carmen

  This was sad! Eva life was full pain and betrayal. The minute she found happiness, it was taken. My heart break for Eva and Mellow. I hate she lost her life.

  This book has more twists and turns than I ever expected. Definitely not one to assume what will happen next

  Noire did her THING with this !

  I love almost all of the books I’ve read by noire.
  She writes thing’s that truly happen every day.
  Hittin the bricks is my favorite book because it’s based on family and friends love and war.
  Gangsta shit goes down at The club they called bricks, hearts get broken people are lost and never found, graphic sex scenes which is important in all urban erotic tales. There was some thing ridiculously real about this book and I loved it.
  If you’re not into sex, Guns, violence, friendships torn apart and Things like that I wouldn’t recommend this book for you. But if you’re like me who really gets into a story where you can literally see in your head everything that is going down I highly suggest you check out noires hittin the bricks.

  This book had me thinking about it long after I read it.
  
  Powerfully moving, intensely dramatic & definitely heart rending.
  
  Family is supposed to love and take care of you when the world abuses you. Unfortunately, Eva's family abuses her and turns her out...that just two of the dirty dog things they do. But, she has mad love for her family and friends (blind love). Her blessing comes when she meets her lover and dream man. For a time, they share a great bond. A real bond. A bond her life had been missing.Every thing appears to be coming together for Eva. Stupidly, her family comes trotting back from the dead to wreak havoc. The rest is a slow slide down a steep and painful hill.
  
  I loved this book! It is one I would recommend and consider a great read.
  
  All I can say is 'WOW'
  
  I am still in the mental/emotional grips of this book even though I've started another read.
  
  2 thumbs up and a snap, snap, snap!

  Noire shocked me with this book. It was very different from my other favorites by her(Candy Licker, G-Spot).
  
  This book had a great deal of lust and erotica but it also had pain, suffering, love and redemption.
  
  The Characters that stood out to me were:
  
  Eva- She deserved so much more, but even the outcome of the story did not leave me empty, because too much had happened for the story to end any other way.
  
  Fiyah- He was a kid that had to deal with adult issues to soon. I do feel he was wrongly blamed for too much of the tragic circumstances. He did not choose the hand that was dealt for Eva and himself.
  
  King Brody- He branded his pain on too many people. He was of course the least liked person of the book.

  While I have had the pleasure of reading several of Noire's books, I'm sure this is one book I will never forget. The way that Noire told this story was so astounding, I read the book in a very short period of time. Eva's mother, Rasheena & her boyfriend malicious behavior toward her was something that no child should ever have to endure. The fact that she had the will & strength to better herself despite her traumatic younger years was a miracle. There were some positive people in her life such as her boyfriend Mello Ice & Miss Threet who helped her along the way. Although she loved her cousin Fiyah like a brother, he eventually became the reason for her downfall. Definitely a must read!

  Just finished listening to Hittin' the Bricks by Noire. I truly enjoyed it. I would recommend it to my urban fiction lovers.
  
  I listened to the audio book I downloaded using the Hoopla app. It's free and you need a library card to borrow the book.
  
  This book is real life for some. Kids growing up and having to fend for themselves because the adults that raised them ain't shit. I thank God this wasn't my life but I can imagine how many of my associates only thank God for making a way.
  
  This was a good book all the way through.
  
  I will say my favorite part was the end. I could have saw the end going in more than one direction. Good, bad or ugly. I won't say how it ended but I was surprised.
