Hearts will break and bullets will fly in this gritty urban romance in the 305.
Queen was a true boss and her actions proved it. There were surprising moments when the characters showed their true selves. Drama-filled story has me looking forward to reading next part.
It is easy to see why Queen heart was harden. Growing up with a crack addicted father, to dealing with Tonka and losing two people who were near and dear to her. She took a lot of losses that is why she was scared to be with Wessie. Wessie had no clue who Sonovia really is. If he did he wouldn't have married her but he still couldn't deny his feelings for Queen. Wessie and Queen have snake's in their camp. When Sonovia revealed who she was it was a shock. Her jealousy and hate for Queen is disturbing though. Presia may be the opp but she was in for a surprise when she found out who is really out to get Queen. This ended as a shocking cliffhanger. I can't wait for part two.
Everyone is a snake in this book! I can't believe Parquita is supposed to be Queen's right hand, but teaming up with Sonovia. Presia turns out to be the DEA but expects Queen to still trust her. I definitely see why Queen doesn't trust anyone. Wessie has every right to be mad at right to be mad at Queen for keeping their son a secret although it was for both of their safety. Can't wait to read part two and I hope they get rid of Sonovia!
This was my first read from this author and I wasn’t disappointed at all!!! Queens Character was not fake and seemed make believe...She was organic and transparent...Even tho she was the head of the drug game she never broke code or broke when at every corner she was betrayed by ppl she loved!! Sonovia was the most miserable jealous person I read about... Karma is a bish tho!! Unto book 2!!
I waited so long for this book!!! Even on the release date I waited 3 more days to get it but let me tell you it was worth every minute I had to wait!! All of ebonys books are my favorite but this one just had compassion thought and flowed so good that I read it within hours! It's her best work and I cannot wait for part 2!!
WTH!!!! I didnt see that at all.. Paquita was the one all this time.. Queen and Wessie need each other and when they find out what's really going on its gonna be a shit show and I can't wait. I need part 2 like yesterday.... great read.
This is that for sure gritty five star must read. In the words of the late great, Tupac Shakur "Keep your enemies close but watch your homies." Blasphemy! Damn Eb knows she can put down that pen magic and dredge up the grimmest plots. One click!
Queen has been through so much losing her son in a tragic way. Her boyfriend being abusive. Losing her brother she suffered so much loss it made her heart cold. Wessie can change that but will he forgive. Hurry up part 2.
Oh wow you never know why people do what they do would never expect Pacquita to be a snake but she is and why because of Tonka. Wessie I need you and Queen to get it together.
Queen & Wessie are solid but it's clear their cycles are full of snakes. Queen is smart so I know she's going to piece it together but I hope more trouble isn't on the horizon.
Great storyline . I remember Wessie from another book. Queen is a savage. She been thru so much that’s why she does it trust easily. About to read finale...
