Now that I've finally read pt 3 of this series, I hate I waited so long. This book picked up where 2 left off & I easily remembered the characters as if I finished pt. 2 on yesterday. Cartier seems to meet betrayal & trouble everywhere she goes! Good surprise ending--

This was so crazy. Everybody was dying. I hate when a series goes out with a bang. It's too much to bear. Especially when you have become attached to the series and characters.

This was the best book out of the series so far. This was my first time reading anything by Nisa Santiago and she does a good job with urban fiction.

I’ve read this book multiple times but this may be the first time I read the epilogue and Idky. But I’m just shook and to see there is another book!! Omg. I need it immediately!! This was so savage and the way Cartier was having a hard time trusting anybody was so real. I’m upset she took out her friends but I guess it had to be done. Sucks being a one woman wrecking ball though!! I’m shook. I’m so sad about her family though like dang you ain’t have to do her like that?!? I mean literally everyone she ever cared deeply about is gone!!!

This book was good all the killing all the backstabbing all around the board. Then the part I wanted came true ahead came home my thing is can he really be trustworthy. I hope so because Cartier ass needs him and he needs her. On to the next book.

So intense. What is Cartier going to do now? Head is home!😟 She killing any and everybody to get revenge. She was low down for killing Lil Mama and Quinn. It's time to start book 4 now.

I Feel Where Cartier Was Coming From LIVING In This Rude Ass World With NOBODY 💯🎯💯 And She Said She Couldn't/Wouldn't Turn Back👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 GREAT READ 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I'm assuming there's another book after this one. Although this book was a good read and the series is very intriguing I'm still trying to decide if I like Cartier being a murderer for GP. The storyline about her daughter was a little predictable. Why would such savage and brutal killers leave one survivor? I did not believe the motive was money since Cartier was not balling like she was in NY. It just did not make sense. I like Head for some reason and I hope he does not get killed off in the next book. Overall the book is a page turner and will definitely keep you interested until the last page.

This book was AMAZING!One thing i can say about Nisa Santiago novels is that they always keep you guessing. At the very beginning i knew it i fell in love with the book. It was so sad to see Cartier's life ruin and everything she loved taken from her. This book showed a character that is ruthless and will do anything to stay alive.

I'm sad at a lot of things that happened in this book. Not trying to give anything away bt I would have never thought Jenet would have ran her mouth no matter what. Anyways loved the book. Keep up the wonderful work.

Amazing
Nisa Santiago has done it again I was literally on the edge of my seat with this page turner. The events was very heart felt and sad at the same time. I have to start reading the next installment as soon as possible.

I really liked this book. A lot of drama and it keeps you wanting more. I think this books is more for adult readers. I. Choose a five because the book is action packed.

Loved it
Cartier is a piece of work. I don't quite like her anymore. She killed friends who genuinely cared about her. She is very selfish. Quinn had her back from the time they met. I wonder what she is going to do about HEAD! Great Read!

This was a great read... I am really feeling this author. She made the return/will read again list of my new authors to try for 2015, cant believe I have never read her books before.

Rated 10+++. Lots of drama. Cartier, Quinn & Lil Mama were a force to be reckoned with. How does one ever get over losing all your family? Read and see!!!!!

I didn't read the books prior to this one.
I won't. For a few reasons.
Nisa Santiago is hit or miss for me. This one is a miss.
