Brandon is not your usual hustler. While he does hustle stolen cars, due to his past he vows to never get in the drug game. When a childhood friend discusses Brandon becoming his right-hand man, he reluctantly jumps at the chance to make the extra money for his family. As he makes more money he learns that everything is not glamorous as it seems, and people aren't who they appear to be. Will Brandon be able to afford the heavy price that comes with being in the drug game?

I really enjoyed this book. There were very minimal errors in the book and they did not take away from the character. It was quite a few twists and turns in this book that I never saw coming, which made me enjoy the book even more. I will be waiting for the next installment in this series.

Brandon is just trying to survive in the hard game of life. Feeling that he could not properly provide for his family, he decides to turn to the streets. Along the way he must deal with friends turned into enemies, infidelity, and betrayal. Will Brandon reach the top or will his desire to be successful be ruined with the sound of a gunshot?

Mind of a Hustler by Tajana Sutton was a good read. It was very easy to follow along while reading it. I definitely didn't see the twists and turns coming but enjoyed them! There were some editing issues and I felt that the ending was a bit rushed. I look forward to reading Son of a Hustler whenever it releases. *3.7 stars

Wow

They say to keep your friends close but your enemies closer and that is a true statement. Why did Marcus have to die he was just looking out for his brother that was so unfair. I'm glad the boys were ok and Ebony too. Tatiana Sutton has done it once again she is truly a gifted writer don't sleep on her work because u will truly be missing out on some amazing reading.
