Rate this book
TRIO OF TERROR
Cartier Timmons is infuriated by the tragedy and vengeance inflicted upon her family. She's making savage rounds through Miami until she can bring her own brand of hood justice to the cartel who messed with hers.

After a reunion that seemed like a dream come true, Citi and her mother Ashanti clash heads in a power struggle. Ashanti plays her position as the head chick in charge, and Citi is ostracized from the family. With no money, she's once again forced to make her way back to the throne.

Apple is growing restless in Colombia with Kola and Eduardo. She's tired of the controlling situation and wants to resume making money. Plus, she can't let go of the idea of finding her daughter Peaches. The search takes her to Miami, where she runs into her old friend from New York, Cartier.

When Apple, Cartier, and Citi meet up, there's an instant realization that the three can take down their opponents and rule the MIA, inflict pain and taking their spots as the Queen B's of Miami.

About the author

Nisa Santiago

47 books299 followers
Nisa Santiago came bursting onto the literary scene in 2009 with her debut title, Cartier Cartel. The book garnered rave reviews and left her readers wanting more. She followed up with the sequel, Return of the Cartier Cartel – which turned into a national bestseller. The Library Journal declared that Santiago’s sequel, [Return of the Cartier Cartel] “Will keep readers hooked to the last chapter.”


Born and raised in Brooklyn, and now living in Harlem, the author is moving at full speed with her writing endeavors. Coined the Duchess of Hop-Hip lit, Santiago humbly admits, “I’m just grateful to be doing what I love as a career and not just a hobby.”

Her latest novel, Bad Apple – The Baddest Chick is slated for an October 2011 release date. The author emphatically states that her decision to start a new series instead of penning part 3 to Cartier Cartel was a brave one. “My readers love Cartier and they wanted more.” Santiago wants her readers to know that she has so many stories to tell and shows no signs of slowing down. Dirty Money Honey is an anthology with her peers, Erica Hilton and Kim K., Melodrama Publishing’s new trinity of authors.

This book was fire. I just took my time reading it. These chicks in this book are straight savages. Cartier Apple and Citi are nothing to play with. If you mess with someone they love they will get you back in the most ratchet way possible to image. When they killed Hector I knew the book was being crazy and it went straight psycho and I loved it. On to the next book

The Deadly Trio

I definitely love the formation of The Deadly Trio ... They had their own individual gruesome last and they are trying their best to maintain their present, so they can have a duty ... In order to do that, some people must die!!!
Awesome story ... I would definitely love to read more about these three!!!
I absolutely love Nisa Santiago; I'm in the midst of reading her entire catalog!

This was my first book by Nisa Santiago, I enjoyed the plot although there was a lot of violence. I would probably enjoyed this book if I read her previous books. I am working on reading them next. I loved the characters and each of their situations. My favorite character was Citi, she was very bold to start an affair with her king pin step father.

I refuse to believe Cartier, Apple & Citi are dead. Don't believe it! They were too smart and had it going on. Would like to know more about Citi. Feel as though I really know Cartier & Apple. That South Beach Cartel was no joke. They wreaked much havoc on South Beach Miami.
