This is the third book from the Urban Fiction Book Club reading list to read.
I would say that this is my least favorite out of the three that I have read so far. It was badly written. Whoever was in charge of editing this book for David Weaver (the author), did an awful job. There were words missing or the wrong tense for certain words was misused as well as the transitioning between one part of a character's story to another was confusing. In one paragraph, the author is detailing how one character feels about the author, but then three sentences in it describes how another character feels about the previous character. I just didn't understand the transitioning.
I didn't like how there was no real character development for any of the characters. While I can appreciate the fact that the author wrote the characters' as very self assured and they knew what they were, there was no room for improvement, no room to grow. That to me, is very disheartening.
The vocabulary in the book was very straightforward on one hand, but on the author it was somewhat immature and juvenile. I guess the author was speaking from the viewpoints of the characters' so that may be the reason for the language used in the book, but for me, I couldn't enjoy the writing. I really didn't like how the author split up the individual characters every couple of paragraphs. It felt like the author was rushing, and in that rushing left some gaps, unless the author decides to cover those gaps in the second book. Other than that, while this was a very short read, it wasn't an enjoyable read. I couldn't identify with the characters, and the characters were written pretty flatly. He introduces you to a character and this character tells us that they love to kill and steal money. That's pretty much the basis of all of the characters in the book, with the exception of the fact that they all have a "sense" of "family" and "loyalty", but those things are wrapped up in them killing and robbing. I suppose I just don't understand the characters' logic or the author's logic in writing these characters the way he did.
Yes, the author leaves you on a cliffhanger for the sequel, but for me there's nothing in this book that makes me want to pick up the next or suggest reading it to those who I know enjoy reading Urban Fiction book.

The Drama Continues
This series is so intense. You think that a certain incident is going to happen but it ends up being another way. I'm somewhat pulling f or Treasure. She's had a hard hard life. On to the next book.

Treasure is the head of the Lipstick Clique and in this book, the crew find themselves separated from one another and doing their own thing. Milan is becoming more of a hot head, while Skye loves Treasure but can't leave her sister behind. They hit the scene in Georgia and from there everything goes down hill. This was an okay read. Didn't really enjoy Lena or Tarra's characters but they served their purposes. The Dirt Mob was an interesting crew, especially 5. I expected way more from 5 than what was shown in the end. The Power's were heavily mentioned and this book seems to be leading to the next installment of the Bankroll Squad series. A lot of the scenes with Lena and Tarra, I just wanted to skip through. I would have definitely loved to have seen more action from Treasure, but overall it was okay.

This book is one of the ones that will have you re-reading it so that you can make sure that you didn't miss anything. You will want to go back and read all of the others again (or at least I did) and it will still have you shaking your head at the pure genius that this man has been walking around with for years and just decided to share it with the world. If you have never read a David Weaver book, you will be thrown into a world that has been developing for a few books, but David will never leave you hanging. It is well written enough to stand alone, but if this is your first time, be warned, David Weaver is anything but gentle in this book of twists and turns and drama! Make sure you have dinner ready before you start, because if you don't it might not get made once you get pulled into what we vets know as "Team Bankroll Squad-land" #TeamBRS

This Bitch Treasure......
after reading the bank roll squad, I was anxious for this read. and let me tell you it did not disappoint! it was very good...a little jumpy like a low budget movie but still VERY, VERY good. I love how suspenseful it is. when you think one thing is happening, it ends up being something way different, but so much better as far as the story goes. I'm so ready for #2

Never throw stones at a glass house!! I was thinking Treasure could never catch a break, but she quickly turned things around. David did a wonderful job giving a little bit of modern day set it off, sprinkled w/reality. His imagination is endless. Well written David, it's not a gang, it's a lifestyle. #TeamBRS

it was good. David Weaver is a good author for his vivid imagery and use of language. His characters are well developed and stand out. I loved this book and I loved Treasure. I wanted to know more about her such as why or how she was a fugitive and How she met Malcolm and this book didnt provide that but My next read by David Weaver did and I loved it. . .

Once again Mr. Weaver didn't disappoint me. Great follow-up. Treasure was screwed over once again but she's a smart chic. The young chicks were working my nerves. Goes to show how easy it is to influence our youth in a negative way. They are like sponges. I'm looking fwd to the next read.

I like this book treasure was always on point and she finally thought she found a guy of her caliber 5 but when you on the run is no time for love,and thinking you can put your trust in someone is rare when you have done so much is asking for trouble.

CAN I SAY OMG!!!!!!!!! Took a little while to kick off but when it did... IT DID!!!!!!!!!!!! I would recommend you read bankroll squad before reading this

This was another amazing read by David Weaver. David Weaver is a fantastic author. I loved reading Treasure's story.

I didn't see the point to this backstory of Treasure. The plot was really not necessary unless the characters are going to be introduced in BR4. Yet it was entertaining and worth the $.099!!
