The Santana Brothers
Being the son of an ex-drug lord, you would think the Santana Brothers wouldn't have a worry or problem in this world. Not only is that so far from the truth, but, they actually just might have it a little worse.
Islah Santana just finished doing a 15 year bid for the gruesome murder of his biological mother. Being free isn't as easy as he thought being that he's holding a big secret from everyone and a stranger threatens to expose his darkness.
Ingram "Ingo" Santana is a multi platinum selling rap artist who has never got over the death of his mother. Though he was just a boy when it happened, the love for Islah had been long gone and he desperately tries to gain it back.
Ivy Santana is different. He loves Islah, right or wrong , no matter what he may or may not have done. Ivys problem stems from trying to be committed to his long time girlfriend Maliyah but problems around him arise which stops him dead in his tracks.
Keith Santana.... well, that's for you to find out .
Take ride down south, thru the mean streets of Houston, TX, as the Santana Brothers show us the illest shit we've seen in a while.
Welcome to the family.

Good story
The story itself is good but could have been thought out better. It seemed kind of rushed. Some scenes needed more. I was into the book because the story was good but halfway through I wanted to stop reading but then I wanted to find out who was blackmailing who and who really killed the mama. You are a good writer who has the potential to be great. Please do not take this as bashing because that is not my intention because I like the story. Good luck to you Kia Jones!

Damnnnnnnn....
Wat is really going on... Did Melandie really kill their mother n their father knew about it? This is getting really strange... I really can't wait to find out who really killed their mother. Now that Islah has killed Melandie wats gonna happen now.... I hope that Keila tells her brothers that Gino is the one who shot her n Maliyah. I hope that Ivy figures out whose been watching him before they can make their move. This book was definitely good! Great job mama! This was fire right here! Can't wait to read part 2! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I live the life of a thug, sold many of drugs... Whatever you name it, I've done
Keith Santana fathered three sons, Islah, Ivy and Ingram and instilled in them love, loyalty and family. Islah has been incarcerated for the murder of their mother, which has devastated the family because it's unexplainable. Ivy is the middleman for everybody, he loves everybody, he wants everybody to just get along. Ingram aka Ingo is a celebrity rapper and he can't seem to forgive Islah for the blood of their mother on his hands. Being that he's a businessman as well, he uses his family's dark cloud as a promotional prompt and speaks on the grime that mars the family. Of course these dudes are uber fine, best sex ever, money ain't no issue, yeah yeah yeah. The Santana Brothers is entertaining at best, some grammatical errors and sex scenes overkill. II would have like to have read more character development and interaction. And of course there is another part to the story, but I will pass on #2. 3.68

Good Read
This was one the most confusing stories I've read thus far.I mean I get the storyline and its a good one.My problem is that there is entirely too much chaos going on,I get when you have multiple characters and they have lives,but does everyone have some drama going on?I kept waiting for the writer to make just a little more of this story about Idaho.This was a solid story and good reading I just felt it was missing something.

Decent read
A little slow moving for my liking but decent overall. A few typos here and there but nothing major. Some of the stuff is a little unbelievable and unrealistic in my opinion. And others were a little predictable. I'm gonna read part 2 because I've invested 4 hours of my day to reading this and I need to see what happens next. I'm not necessarily sure I'd recommend this to anyone though, as it was just an okay, decent read.

Wow the secrets one keeps!
This was a great read! I enjoyed reading about the Santana brothers! A lot is going on and Ms Jones has started this gangsta story with a bang! These brothers are hot! The father is ruthless and there is so much more to be discovered of this I am sure. When the truth comes out what will happen to the family? I must keep reading! A few grammatical errors, but overall a great quick read! 5 Star novel but 4.5 did to editing!

Wow!!! So much action and excitement!!
This is one book that you will not be able to put down. All of the many key players have something going on in their lives. The problem is that every problem impacts someone else. Read this book and you will not put it down until you are finished.

Suspense and drama filled. I enjoyed the flow and storyline of this book. I had a feeling that there was more to Lorie being murdered by her Son. Can't wait to see what happens in part 2 with the Santana Brothers

😞😱
This was one crazy story. Melandie got my last nerves. Ivan was wrong for keeping that secret and letting that happen. I hope Kelia pulled through and Maliyah. Ready for part two...

Ok.
I'm not one to tell synopsis of book, but the story is real.. not too much violence in a sense where you like omg.. But just enough to let you know where the family story is,all about.

Not A Good Read
I wasn't feeling this story but I finished it hoping to get into it. I just felt like all these characters were dysfunctional for no reason. They didn't do much of anything. The story didn't interest me at all. I don't think I'll be reading part 2.

I'm loving this series already!!!
That dad is a piece of sh#t. I'm glad that wife is gone. But it's so much to this that I don't want to say. I'm gonna start part 2.. and can barely wait for part 3..

So far so good
The story is coming into itself. I see the deep secrets going on in the story line. The Santana family have a lot going on. I'm pulling for the oldest Santana. On to book 2!

Mixed Emotions
I have mixed emotions about this one. Mystery went on too long. Every once in a while you get a storyline but mainly it is the mystery of who killed Islah's mom and why. I don't know if I want t poo read part 2

June 23, 2024I'D PURCHASED THIS SERIES NEARLY A DECADE AGO & SHELVED THEM TO READ LATER, NOT DOING SO UNTIL A FEW WEEKS AGO & JUST LIKE I'D THOUGHT IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD READ.
THOUGH I DON'T HAVE ONE PARTICULAR FAVORITE SANTANA BROTHER OR CHARACTER, I FOUND THEM ALL TO HAVE INTERESTING CHARACTERS.
