Some prayed for my death, but I didn't go anywhere. I was a bad bitch before -- wait 'til they see me now....In a single act of violence, beautiful gold digger Celess lost her best friend, Tina, and her good looks. She also lost her former love, Michael, when he learned her secret. Now depressed, suicidal, and horribly disfigured, Celess gets a phone call that changes her life.

In Los Angeles, she reconnects with two old friends, Terry and Derrek, and through them, finds new friends and a new love. Life is good once again.

 New Beginnings!!! (3.5 stars) September 6, 2008
Author Miasha is back with the sequel to Secret Society! Readers will recall when last we saw Celess her double life (posing as a woman and tricking ballers) had caught up to her. Resulting in her disfigurement and leaving her best friend Tina dead. Now ready to make some real life changes Celess not only gets reconstructive surgery but she has sexual reassignment surgery transforming her into the woman she always felt she was.
Ecstatic with her new look and her new lease on life Celess snags a modeling contract and moves to LA to pursue dreams of stardom. Bringing the same determination she used to live ghetto fabulous is now applied to her Hollywood hustle and soon Celess makes a name for herself in tinsel town. But a past that scandalous can't be contained and soon rumors about Celess being a transsexual begin to surface.
Will the demons from her past halt Celess' new beginnings? Even with the support of her new best friend (Si-Si) and the help of some old ones (Ms. Carol, Derrick & Terry) she might not be able to stop the turbulence that's headed her way. Never Enough is a quick read that answers some needed questions but will also leave readers with new ones. It also sets the stage for Miasha to link two books together and hopefully the final installment will tie together all three.

 Not as good September 2, 2008
The first book is a lot better than this one. I hated the ending. I hope there is a third, cause the ending to this still left you hanging.

After recovering from a suicide attempt and being shot in the face, Celess decides to have sex assignment surgery and finally become the woman she has always wanted to become. As Celess travels down a path of fame and money she becomes friends with a beautiful young woman named Si-Si. Si-Si becomes Celess' ride and die friend and they head down a path of making money and gaining fame. Unfortunately, Celess' former life as a man comes back to haunt her when figures from her past leak to the media that Celess was fomerly a man. With her life in shambles, Celess is forced to repair her life and come to terms with her past. This book is a great sequel to Secret Society. Celess is a great character and Si-Si is a good sidekick. The ending is explosive and shocking. Can't wait for the next one!

Celess is back trying to pick up the pieces of her life. Celess' best friend Tina was killed, and this incident has left her alone, suicidal and disfigured. She also lost the love of her life, Michael, when he learned of her devastating secret. Celess comes out of her depression and soon carves a new life for herself. She lands a contract at a top modeling agency that leads her to the big lights of Los Angeles and Hollywood. Celess has a new love and a new best friend named Si-Si. Life is looking good until a series of events leads Celess and Si-Si literally running for their lives. Will Celess and Si-Si live the life that they always wanted or will it all blow up in smoke?
Never Enough is a wonderful sequel to Secret Society by Miasha. Miasha once again dives readers into the turbulent life of Celess. You will see the transformation of Celess as she goes from being deeply depressed to being one of Hollywood's A-list celebrities. Readers will be swept away in the glitz and glamour of Celess and Si-Si as they make their way to the top. There is also a shocking ending that you will need to pay close attention to. Never Enough is full of the signature drama and head-spinning revelations that Miasha is known for.
