Interesting read.
Savage seemed to have a rough life from the beginning. But after his mom’s boyfriend was killed by his brother and she was sentenced for the crime, the 14 year old grew up really fast. Unfortunately, he used his smarts and determination to help his mom get out of jail, by turning to the streets and drugs. It was amazing how he was able to build an empire with other teenagers and take over the city. There were a lot of noteworthy scenes in the book, but I loved when Aimee gave birth and named her Natori because she said that when she thought of him, she thought he was Notorious. There was so much that this book could have been a two book series. Loved reading this book.

Notorious a stand-alone novel
This was a very interesting read excellent writing and very detailed and exciting and fast paced the characters were interesting and smart in their own way and made a solid team the brother hood they shared and the loyalty was rare it was always family over everything

This book was crazy and very thrilling 😂😂 but in a good way! I think it was crazy how Marshawn had to jump in the game so early but I’m glad it all worked out. It was sad how both brothers & the father was killed. My very first time reading from this author & will be reading more in the future

This had me heart in a clutch from beginning to end. From beginning Marshawn was a one man wrecking show. He literally lost my everyone but gained as well. Mann when Jumps was killed I got mad & was reading faster..it was beautifully put together & definitely recommending to all

Very good
This was a good book, didn’t expect it to go down like that bit it did. I’m happy for Marshawn but sad for him at the same time. He accomplished so much but lost so much more. Good work keep up the good work

Let me say this, this book really pulled at my emotions. Marshawn was really notorious but how much death could one person take. This book is a must read. It holds your attention from beginning to end

Notorious by Shaniya Dennis
(Urban Lit = 4.5/5 ⭐️)
This is a Very, very, very good story, from beginning to end. Sad, yet realistic hood tale about life and loss.

Savage
I'm glad he was able to weed out the fakes. In the end he lost his whole family. In the end he stood strong to raise his and his brother's kid(s). Nothing better than that.
