I thoroughly enjoyed this story and is humbly waiting for the sequel! War is war ... Who could be the winner with so many lost souls. It reminds me of the Biblical scripture ... If you live by the sword, you will surely die by the sword. Is there truly an end; there's always something to fight for ... legitimate or not; with that said, I am Team RudeBoy!
Ok chaos makes for a five-star must-read. Rude Boy is my guy. His friendship with JoJo and Taki is admirable. Yet the drama and height of betrayal and so much gunplay keeps the pages flipping.
The absolute best book I have read in a long time! It’s full of action and dram that will leave you craving for more! I love the way the characters seem realistic and their roles keep you interested as if you know them in real life.
Omggggggg, Polar got to to asap. Taki l had no idea, wooowwwww!! I tried my best to read this one slow but danmit I'm done. Shit how long do I have to wait for pt.2? Chris Green yeah you did your BIG one with one. You keep writing an I'll keep reading.
It’s a lot going on in this book. I still don’t know how I feel about Rude Boy yet but I do know he better make it rain.. Over all this book was good from beginning to end.. On to part 2.. Oh and his bestie played.. smh…
That connection in the end. The switch up in demeanor. The whole plot. This story was so great. The ties and build up was dope. Can't wait for the next part.
