By: Ashley Antoinette

Length: 12 hrs and 41 mins

Publisher's summary

Morgan and Messiah share many things. Love, hate, lust, trauma, and children. They are bonded forever by the gift of parenthood, but Morgan's attachment to Messiah comes with immense pain. After the discovery of Messiah's condition, Morgan's conflict is intensified. She knows how healing the M&M bubble can be, but she also knows that Messiah has the ability to ruin her. Will Morgan finally take her second chance with her first love? Or will she make the hardest decision of all and let go of the past?

Can Messiah come out clean after the mess he's made? Can he become the man he wants to be without hurting the people he loves? Will he be able to extend the forgiveness he expects everyone else to give him?

Everyone talks about healing, but no one talks about the ugly part of the process: the part that requires separation and accountability. Can M&M restore their magnetic love? Or are they forever lost on the pages?

Join Ashley Antoinette in Ethicland once again as she takes Ash Army on an intense, emotional rollercoaster full of angst, love, sacrifice, and family.

Love ain’t always easy! We need clarity.

I believe clarity and resolution is in order. I am very much a fan of the series and I think Nicole small does an excellent job in her narration. Let me say first that I am still team M&M. Mo’ can’t grow because others won’t challenge her to. Ethic wants to coddle her because of his love for her. Ameek loves her, but his love is too easy. It doesn’t challenge her to grow and mature because he’s willing to give her everything. Messiah is the only one who challenges her to grow, but the problem is, he doesn’t challenge himself to grow as well. Ethic, though on Messiah’s side, sometimes works against him and he needs to sit down and let grown folks do what they do. my hope is that Messiah finally opens up to Morgan, because until that happens, the story will remain in a tail spin. Rip the Band-Aid off, and let’s get down to healing. butterfly six, Lego! 

Everything was perfect

Have you looked into your books becoming movies or series on NETFLIX I WOULD DEFINITELY TUNE IN

Amazing!!!!!

I loved everything about this book… this book made me cry and laugh. I’m sad I have to wait to see what happens in the okafor household and Atkins….. Ashley never disappoints. She is a beast with that pen. Her writing books it’s like a rapper writing lyrics. If you’re looking for a ride to get on this is the right one. Butterfly 🦋 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Everything you write is like paint on canvas. I love this piece

My favorite character family, l simply love love these characters. I hate that I have to wait for another book.

My fav series

Ok so I read the book but I still needed the audible version to bring it all home. Couple of things got left out in the end like how Meek and Ethic got together to bring down the Fredrick’s and them already having a plan in place when The feds started sniffing around Moe. Overall the book was good Ij wish things would have gotten resolved somewhere. I read all the other books that lead to this series recently and I feel like YAYA(read Prada books to understand) and Moe love life is similar in ways Meek to Moe is what Ethic is to Yaya and Messiah to Moe is kind of what Yaya husband is to her but HEAVY on the kind of. I think Blu and Iman should run off and live happily ever after because if you read Luxe you’ll see that man loves her down and she would be better off with him vs dealing with the drama of Messiah or better yet Noah could be like his daddy and pop up after faking his death.

Another great one👏🏾

Excellent and worth the wait! Next installment will be anxiously anticipated! Thanks for always delivering

Ethic land never disappoints

The saga continues, AA is one of the best writers I’ve ever read. I read this book which was outstanding, but Nicole Small bringing it to life was awesome!!! Great listen you won’t be disappointed

Great Story…

Although it's long and drawn out, this is a good continuation of the story. There are so many twists, turns, and deceit among the characters. From the looks of it, there will be a couple more books in this series. I’m slightly confused about the Alani & Ethic plot twist. It seems out of place and unnecessary. I thought this series was more about Mo, Messiah, and their circle.

On a side note…Mo’s character irks me. She is the most selfish, self-absorbed, and annoying character ever. No one seems to hold her accountable.

Hopefully, future books in the series will give closure and allow happy endings.

I can't get enough of the men in this series!!

Ms. Smalls is the best! She brings life to the characters. Please do not change her in this series. I Love this family! great book!

OMGOODNESS

You’re killin me smalls!! This book has had me on an emotional roller coaster & I loved it! I hope it doesn’t take a long time for book 6 because I need to know my peoples are okay
