Lucinda John

Lucinda became an avid reader during her freshman year of high school. Reading books ranging from Harper Lee to Sista Soulja, reading became an escape zone for her. When she was sixteen years old, she gave birth to Kamari, her oldest son, and was determined to create a better life for her and her child.

The best place to start is the Finessers series, the earliest of Lucinda John's multi-book series: it opens with Finessers (2014) and runs to 3 books across 2014–2020, ending with Finessers 3 (2020). Lucinda John's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.

Lucinda John has 43 books catalogued in this guide, published between 2014 and 2025. 33 of them belong to 13 named series — the largest being the A Hood Love Story series with 4 books — and 10 are standalone titles, collections or anthologies.

Read each series in publication order — the numbered entries in each series follow the year each book first appeared. Lucinda John's series do not depend on one another, so they can be started in any order; by start date they are Finessers (2014–2020, 3 books), Married To A Boss (2015–2020, 2 books) and We Made For Each Other (2017, 1 book), plus 10 more.

This guide splits Lucinda John's 43 books into 13 named series and 10 titles that stand alone or appear only in collections: A Hood Love Story (4 books, 2020); The Banks Sisters (3 books, 2020–2021); Finessers (3 books, 2014–2020); Hennessy and Miami (3 books, 2020); The Real Dopeboyz of Dade County (3 books, 2020), plus 8 further series.
