Needful Noor: Parts 1 and 2 by Takerra Allen
A Review By: VJJ
She escaped the life she had to find the life she needed…
How much of our fate is circumstance?
Noor's life path has always been potholed with obstacles. But she is a survivor, an adapter… a proud wanderer.
Still, the deep yearning for more kept her motivated to conquer every hindrance because there had to be more waiting—somewhere.
Hitchhiking her way to a new coast, she lands at the feet of money, prestige, and a soul-touching love, all at the doing of a chance job opportunity. But it doesn't mean all even terrain, and her past has a problem letting go.
Still, Noor is convinced destiny has brought her to the life she deserves. She won't allow the girl she was to stop her from becoming the woman she needs to be.
Rules don't apply, and she's tired of letting life happen to her. She's determined to finally get everything she's ever wanted. Everything she's ever needed.

A girl that came from nothing becomes a woman who gets everything she dreamt!
Needful Noor is an exceptional story that is masterfully written and brilliantly and creatively depicted showing unwavering determination, bravery and strength with intent of getting the life their way.
This book captivated me from beginning to end. This story reads innocently until the plot twists, turns, flips, and rolls over with shocking, tantalizing revelations. As the protagonist, villain and heroin who exhibited sociopathic traits, Noor Eubanks had audacity and gall, she was a calculative schemer who manipulated people and situations around her to fit her narrative, and Dorian Hill, the strong, lonely yet faithful, compassionate protector was lost to her charm.
This story was sexy, exciting, suspenseful, and thrilling, but it also explores abuse, manipulation, and trauma. Reading the complexity of choices and decisions stole my mind, hijacked my emotions and left me questioning the authenticity of sanity and I loved every word of it.
The scandalous build-up, to the intensity of love, passion and determination exhibited was explosive; it became as needed as air and the narrators couldn’t have been better suited for this story. Trei Taylor and Tony Isabella personified Black excellence with this phenomenal performance. They gave this story the potency it demanded I couldn’t help but get lost in the world of Noor.
