This book kept me guessing. I love the way the words flowed off of every page. It was jam packed with suspense and had me turning pages way too fast. I thought I had the plot figured out but not at all. I was on a rollercoaster ride the whole time. I will be reading more from this Author 📚

Quentin Carter has done it again. This book had me turning page after page I just couldn't put this book down. Was so suprised at myself for finishing this big book so fast.
Amongst Thieves starts off with Ramon going to jail for 15 years after killing his baby mom's little brother over some money that was tooken from him.
Ramon gets out of jail and gets into the hustle of steling with his crew. That set him up with Murphy a white man that owns a lot of business including a bank.
Ramon and his crew opens up a hotel and casino. Ramon gets beheaded after awhile and decided that everything is his.
After awhile he gets into liking Jayde one of the girls he hire for his casino. He starts to dismiss Yawni his main girl.
His crew decided that they don't want nothing to do with Ramon due that his is all big headed and dising them to hang and be with the big dogs.
In the meantime police office Molina is on the lookout with Ramon and his crew due to the bankrobbery that happen had a woman in the crew and that set them on to Yawni.
All I have to say is I can't say to much more about this book. I know that Ramon in a way got what was coming to him but, in away I did feel sorry for Jayde when she was telling her life story but, then I didn't. I mainly liked Yawni to the end even after Ramon dogged her she still had love for him to the end.
Great book overall and I am so hoping that Quentin don't leave us readers hanging with this book. I would love to see what else happens.

I've never been so shocked in my life, but this book right here will give you the shock of your life I'm telling you. The ending is so bittersweet and also a little disgusting, but it's worth the read. This book goes to show you that you can't trust nobody not even your own blood.

I didnt like this book. I believe I returned it to the library after only a chapter. I was trying to venture out into urban fiction but I just couldnt get with it.
