Resonating Lines:

"Naje', on so many occasions, had taught some of her hardest and harshest lessons over a many delicious meals. She not only nourished his body, she had given him pabulum for the soul as well."

"... Take the head and the body will follow."


Review:

Great read! This story drew me in from beginning to end. The Gage children were just as bad as their parents and grandparents. The author did an amazing job at making me feel as if I were watching a movie. The characters were so vivid that I visualized them throughout the entire story. The ending however, left me wanting a bit more. I desired to find out if AJ's story ended there or if there would be more to come. There were a few typos here and there but they didn't take away from the story at all. As with all books I've read from this author in the past, I'd highly recommend this one too.

Yes lord Blacc Topp did it once again. I really got to know the characters in this book and he gave vivid insight on all the Gage boys so now you know how it all began. This is truly a must read and you will not be disappointed at all. Can't wait for part two. This is the best book of them all way to go Blacc Topp keep them coming and I will continue reading them.

The Gages are back! Julius and Devon have grown up and are doing grown-up things. But when somebody gets outta line they still manage to put them in place! Even though everything seems calm on the surface somebody is in the background stirring up trouble. Julius, the Gage family & those loyal to them come together as expected to handle the problem.

Last man standing

I honestly can't say I enjoyed this book I finished it finally so that says something. It started off very intriguing but somewhere in the midst of all the characters the story seemed lost and the plot lacking. I've read a few of this author's work that I absolutely loved but this isn't one.

It took was a struggle for me to finish this one. I stopped several times. The story didn't flow well to me. It was very choppy.

The fifth book in the 'Hustle Chronicles' series find the Gage family against the Barrera family. The new generation (Julianna, Tre and AJ) find themselves on opposite sides of the tracks, of a war that has very little to do with them. Once again, money and power, are the main catalyst for the war, and there will be plenty of bloodshed.

As usual, this book by @novelistblacctopp did not disappoint. As a matter of fact, I stayed up most of the night, because I couldn't put it down. The Gage family has captured my attention and I can't wait to see what they're up to next. For that reason, I gladly give it 💎💎💎💎💎, and I highly recommend that you check it out for yourself.
