Never Let 'em Play Me
Kenzo, Erk, and Jyaire have been childhood friends for as long as they could remember. They went from playing in the schoolyard together to slanging dope on the corner trying to make a come up.
Kenzo has always had it hard in life having to live with drug-addicted parents. Then, to make matters worse his father was killed leaving his mother strung out more than ever before. Kenzo isn’t selling drugs because he wants to its solely for his survival. Although his father’s side of the family offered to take him in he refused to leave his mother’s side even though she could care less about him. If he didn’t have any drugs to give her she didn’t have any conversation for him.
Jyaire’s situation is the complete opposite. Coming from a loving two-parent household he should have been hitting the books instead of the corners. He, on the other hand, is in it to be the popular. Growing up he wasn't too easy on the eyes and often was overlooked by the females. Inside Jyaire is secretly jealous of all the attention that Erk and Kenzo gets and this animosity has been brewing for years.
Erk is the level headed one of the three; he had to grow up a little faster after having a baby with his childhood sweetheart, Calyta. Erk is only trying to provide for his family and have a little fun while doing so. Although he loves Calyta with all his heart, he is still young and not ready to settle down completely just yet.
Kenzo and Jyaire bump heads constantly leaving a frustrated Erk to bring them back around. Erk has to constantly remind them that they are all best friends but it’s starting to get old quick. The older they get the harder it is for them to see eye to eye on anything at all.
One fateful day changes everything for them when they walk into a drug deal gone wrong and hit the lick of the lifetime! With no survivors lef everything is for the taking and that is exactly what they do.
Now Kenzo, Jyaire, and Erk are sitting on the top of the world. With an endless cash flow and an army behind them, they are running the entire state of Georgia with hopes to expand even further in the game.
Lies, jealousy, deceit, betrayal, and murder will come between these three friends leaving only one standing. Who will it be?

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!!
This series is so good. I could not put it down!!! Had me laughing so hard. Jamar ie is a straight comedian. Jyaire is wrong and could not be trusted. I can't believe he did his two best friends like he did. He is just stank literally. This is a really, really good read! Ro Monique you did it girl. From beginning to end.

Ready for part 2!
This was a great read!! I couldn't put it down because I needed to see what would happen next. I loved Jabari, he was a straight fool. I really hope that Kenzo and Erk comes back strong! Overall, the author did a great job with the writing, despite some editing issues. I can't wait for part 2!!

Good Read
I enjoyed this story. It was well written, but poorly edited. It had too many run on sentences! Other than that, I really liked it. I also plan on reading the sequel

Pretty good
This was a pretty good read. This storyline kept me laughing. I was almost afraid that I would poop myself like Jyaire. Depends and wipes, really? That was just too funny. I loved Erk and Kenzo. Jyaire not so much. He was just dead weight and I hope that he gets what's coming to him in part 2. My boys have got to pull through.

Couldn't take it serious
After dude use the bathroom on himself, it was over for me. Especially when I became a theme for the book. I could see where she was going with this book, but some of it was just too ratchet. Don't know if I'll read book 2.
