Villains: It's Savage Season
Nobody sleeps until Law Hightower is six feet deep. All Kanati Dawson wanted was to work for the boss and then go home to be with the love of his life, Sunni Hamden. And then his patience was tested in one major act of disrespect. The moment Law saw Kanati's girl he knew he had to have her. Being a man who is accustomed to getting what he wants, Law plotted to steal her away despite his closest comrade's advice. "Leave her alone. Kanati feels like trouble." If only Law listened. After going across the country to steal Kanati's girl in the middle of the night, Law unknowingly brought hell like he never imagined back to his hometown. Before long blood pours and bodies drop as Kanati and his villains descend on Baltimore with one objective in mind...revenge.

VERY GOOD READ. MY TYPE OF BOOK.

Why do I do this to myself?
I impatiently await the release of The Cartel Publications books, read em in less than a day and then get book hangover immediately.
With that being said Kanati was everything! Calculated and patient, a true villain with the ability to calm the beast within. I love how he started out as a quiet and humble character and emerged into this beast! He was perfect compared to Law. Now this is a dude who irked every nerve in my body. Cocky, self-entitled, crass and an all around jerk. Law was one who didn't understand the word No. One selfish act caused over 200+ pages of drama and destruction. It was simply amazing! Where's the next Cartel Publications release lol

Oooooowweeeee🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man, this book was good. That dang Law worked my nerves to no end and Sunni was a piece of work. I’m so glad that Kanati was able to see that she wasn’t worth💩 I liked Tammy for Kanati she had that man back to the end. Kanati friends were also some riders, they were not letting him fight his battle alone. The way they was taking everyone out was crazy🤯 It’s sad what happened to to his grandma though. All in all this book was good, I’m happy that Kanati got his happy ending ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Do not judge a book by its cover, so true! Villains was definitely that and more. It was my first by T. Styles and I was so not disappointed! Is the grass greener on the other side? Villains vs savages. These boss’s are on a mission to rock the city to its core, paving the road to their fate. They are unstable and unpredictable, fearless with Oodles of badass. Looking forward to more!

This was a good urban story. It was definitely savage season. Law deserved every bit of what he received. Wasn't a fan of Sunni either. Kanati is my new hero, lol. This book held my attention as I once I started, I didn't put it down til the end. Good drama & action

Let me start off like this Kanati was a kind hearted person until his heart was broken. This book was twisted all the way around the board. Kanati and his boys were nothing to damn deal with. Law and his friends and family found out the hard way. Just remember never steal something that doesn’t belong to you. Never hurt someone grandmother especially if that’s his life and all he has in this world. Please read this book and understand it’s a different type of real but baby it’s a awesome read. Great job Mama T you did it again.

Loved it
Kanati was a beast and a man of his word. T. Styles always gives you something to think about and didn't disappoint me with this one. I would highly recommend this book.

Action packed
Couldn't put this book down. Kanati let the world know don't leave any lose strings and was straight Savage. I hope there's a part 2!

Thou shall not trespass
Love me some Kanati! If they would have just left the man alone..he would have continued to mind his business! Law was young, dumb and full of himself! I really couldn’t stand him lol!

Fierce warriors!!!!
I love me a beautiful fierce warrior. Everybody got their just reward. Because of greed Law took Kanati's girl, only for her to leave him for his ugly friend. Vanessa said someone would get him from his past and that's how he went out. It's sad in the end he only had those he treated badly, that could stand to be around him and they had an agenda, her fingers she never got paid for.

so good like reading a movie, I could definitely see this a one. Law just couldn't let Kanati be happy he had to take what wasn't his and the war that followed was epic, this was so good, I truly enjoyed this right up until the very end!

named Animal. BYE.
Redundant and all over the place. The character in this book loosly resembles another author's work by the name of Kw...Not feeling it.

I was excited when I heard about this book but didn't know what to expect. From the 1st page to the last T. Styles delivers a savage tale like none other. The book entertained me and kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.
