Legendary St. Louis gangs, the Northside PG's and the Northside PGL's, have birthed a new generation - the Northside Clit, an all female gang. Members Queen, Trey, Lilac and Pebbles have found the perfect mark in Xavier Winston. Fiercely loyal and down for whatever, the crew embarks on what should be a very prosperous robbery. But there is more to their mark than meets the eye and things don't go as planned. With their freedom on the line, loyalty and friendships are tested. Is this the end of the Northside Clit?

Allysha Hamber gives readers a glimpse of the inner workings of a female gang as her talent again shines in her sophomore effort. Jealousy, mistrust and transferred loyalties make for an interesting and entertaining story. It's unfortunate the lack of editing at times distracts readers. Nonetheless, it was an overall satisfying read
