this’s still a fascinating series that I still recommend
I understand how the author tries to balance out the storyline with drama, actions n romance but I wish the romance part was nonexistent bc I don’t really see the point in it when I’m reading about gangsters and mobs. I like reading about how these people get down with the gun play not how they get down with women. It takes away from the plot. I find myself skipping pages or chapters so I can keep focusing on the plot and actions. My adrenaline be pumping when I’m reading about the plotting and killings so I don’t want to lose that high of shooting and killing to kissing and sex. I’m not a violent person, I just like action movies and books. It just hold my attention span longer. And to me only, romance stories are boring and predictable. Lawd, I wonder how many times Slim uncle n mom gonna visit him in a dream n tell him she’s the 1. That was petty with Phoenix lil scene about Chantel, Chantel gonna be Chantel. Elisa seems to have more gangsta in her than any of the crew. Laurette is a horrible person but she was spot on telling Antwan that a good leader always answers their phone. Wise made a good point about Slim n Mari relationship being a fast 1. What happened to Rovi was wrong on all levels by his cousin and by the crew. And I hate that went down with Boogie n the crew n how Boogie ended. Well, the last brother takes a dirt nap, he was hell tho.
This was a awesome read again this series is so damn good I like all the action and drama and deceit and the new drama coming for Sonny's crew boy I know it's going to be a all out war in the next installment of this series. Just keep me interested in yours Alex Richardson.
Alex did it again. I love this series, I can't get enough. I know one thing when I finish writing this review I am starting book 14. Don't pass this series up you won't be disappointed.
