I really enjoyed this book from the first page. Took me a week to put this down because so much was happening. In the beginning I like Young T, but saw that he was wrong for what he did. Big Mike was like every other average man just no good, he was violent and he talked to people as if they are children. Angela I did not feel so back for because she put herself in jeopardy from the very beginning, however what Mike did to her was wrong. I like that Spanky's character was very caring, but also he could change on you when it came to his brother and he saw that you would become a problem. Tina was straight up gangster and didn't back down like your average woman. I thought the author did an excellent job with these characters and putting a lot of thought into this book. I would recommend this book to be read. Now I just need book 2.

I really enjoyed this book. Ok so it starts out really fast so much happens in the first 3 chapter's that you're like what else can be in this book. The characters I felt really connected to. Mike I hated him because of the way he treated women, but he was also the main character so at times you were like kinda rooting for him. Now that damn Angela she is one person you will be in your feelings for. There are surprises all through the book, lots of action, no dull moments at all. I want a number 2 please.

Page Turner
Just got done reading "Raw" by Daraja and Q Tano. "Raw" is a page turner. From the moment you start reading, it reels you in to the point where you WILL NOT want to stop reading it. One of my favorite characters is Big Mike not because of the stuff he did to people, but because he was so unpredictable and he was a true boss. He was nothing to play with he may not have been loyal to women but he was definitely loyal to his crew. If he was not such a hot head and thought certain things through he could have avoided a lot of the situations he found him self in. I really enjoyed how raw and real and how I could see it play out as I was reading it such as with all of the gruesome details of some of the characters demises. I also like the erotic scenes. I especially enjoyed Mike and Jewels first encounter. One of my other favorite characters was Angela. Big Mike took her through a lot but I admired how strong she was to keep going and pushing through. Another character that I grew to like was Tina because no matter what, she was always there in Mike's corner. I know there has to be a sequel coming really soon. I feel like Raw was the perfect name for the book because Big Mike made it feel that way with the way he went after people hot headily.

Review
I wouldn’t wish bad on anyone,but Mike deserved what he got. He was a ruthless individual with no heart. Spanky was caught in the crossfire. Young T should’ve went the other way instead of following Mike. I don’t know about Tina. She was a true ride or die female from beginning to end.
I look forward to reading more from this author.

Good read
The way Big Mike was described made me hate him & love him. He had so many layers to him and it amazed me how sweet & loving he could be sometimes. The ending surprised me but it left you wondering if a sequel is possible. I want to know what the future of Big Mike & Tina is.

This is my first book from this author and this was nothing less than a roller coaster ride of turmoil. I really enjoyed it, and the ups and downs of Big Mike and his entourage were riveting.

This book was good from beginning to the end the characters was something else. You had some snakes in the group that where taken out. Then you had those that was loyal to a point but loved unconditionally. This is a book was just that good that there has to be part 2.

Raw
Raw captivated me from the very beginning Big Mike and the gang took me by surprise. Big Mike time after time proved why he was the man and avenged anyone who wasn’t to be trusted even if they were someone closet to him. What gang activities, murder, jail sentences, betrayal, and more.
