Huncho is NOT to be played with!

Author; Elijah R. Freeman, successfully pulled me into the bang bang shootem'up streets of Clayton County in Atlanta, GA. I was team Mafioso allll the way! Huncho and Flame had me rooting for them...even though they were public enemy #1 and #2, and they were unapologetically ruthless, I still wanted them to win! They both took gang life to a whole nother level, but I couldn't stop reading! Bravo! The plot twist was definitely a surprise...Great Job on that! Mr. Freeman...YOU WROTE THE HELL OUT OF THIS! I gotta know what happens with my girl Camry's unborn child, and whether or not Huncho will keep his word. I WILL read part 2.

Just finished reading Book 1 of 3 Series Triggadale Shots Fired by Elijah R. Freeman ... whew chile how exciting I am to start the 2nd series ... I need to know what the hell happened to Huncho (their was an amazing twist at the end that will have your nerves running bad).

First of all while reading this book I didn’t know if I wanted Huncho dead or alive because of all the shit he was doing ... he just did not give two fucks about his life or anyone else’s (well with the exception of Camry).

You see Huncho was from a gang “Southside Mafia” and even though their were no leaders he minus well have been the one because he was running everything! Flame and Ski was Huncho’s ride or die (wait till you find out how much they were willing to ride). Southside Mafia also had their Southside Queens who took Hit Squad Taliban gang for a spin ... them girls were willing to do anything to prove they were with the business ... until muthafuckas start to get locked up (let me not start snitching on the snitches 🤷🏾‍♀️) I’m just saying some people got loose mouths so quick I thought I was watching 48 hours ...

But the one girl I felt sorry for the most was Reka ... (the things they did to that poor girl) I was just wondering wtf she would go to Tevo’s funeral when she was the one who set him up (karma is a bitch) but they didn’t have to do her like that! 😱 All I have to say is Huncho went completely psycho ... Gotti, Taliban, Dre, Marko, and poor Tevo (Hit Squad Taliban gang) didn’t stand a chance ... good luck to Detective Ellis I don’t think he smart enough for this type of street thug! Huncho was made for gang gang life!🔥🔥

Ok now let me start this next series Triggadale 2 ... Video Review Coming Soon! Stay tuned .. and go to Amazon to get book 1 (catch up)!

🌟This is the first book reading by me which is based on urban fiction and I am sure this is not the last. This book made me fall in love with this genre. I was so much involved in the story that I finished reading it in one go. It is so interesting and exciting.

🌟 STORYLINE
Set in Riverdale, a city South of ATL, this story revolves around two gangs and their revenge battles. The. main story started with murders where Huncho, murdering twins of a settled
gang to establish his own crew with the help of his squad, known as the Southside Mafia.
The other gang - Hit Squad Taliban is the
rivals of the Southside Mafia who want to take revenge of his twin's death.
The story takes an exciting turn when this revenge resulted into a street battle between Huncho's squad and Hit Squad Taliban.
I want the rest of the story to be a suspense for you all but believe me there is so much in this story and you will definitely going to love it.

🌟This was such an epic read for me, It seems like i was watching a movie of two gangsters. I absolutely enjoyed the street battle between two parties and it look so realistic that you will feel like you are there into that scene and watching the battle. This book was totally worth reading and its not a long read, you will not get bored at all. All the characters are so amazingly described and all the scenes are fantastic whether it's about a murder scene or a battle scene. I still can't get over Huncho, he is my favourite character. The cover of the book is superb and giving a revenge vibes already. With the ending of this book 1, I am so curious to see where the author will take us in the next book.

𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗲: 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 – 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗷𝗮𝗵 𝗥 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻.

Elijah R Freeman is an American essayist who makes a ton out of metropolitan fiction short stories, for instance, "Triggdale: Huncho's Way" and "To Live With No One to Love". I have pursued a wide scope of classes lately and metropolitan fiction got one of my top picks.

The story turns around Huncho-a chose, fearless, and hot man: and his friend Flame, Set in Riverdale, a city South of ATL. The story begins with Huncho, executing twins of a settled force to develop his own gathering with the help of his team which is known as the Southside Mafia!

The other pack - Hit Squad Taliban is the enemy of the Southside Mafia who needs to deliver reprisal for his twin's demise. The story takes a stimulating turn when this reprisal achieved a street battle between Huncho's team and Hit Squad Taliban.

Which gang will endure? What will occur straightaway? The book is totally worth the time and money. I totally appreciated the road fight between two gatherings and it feels so sensible that you will feel like you are there in that scene and watching the fight. All the characters are so unimaginably depicted and all the scenes are phenomenal whether it's about a murder scene or a battle scene. I am so inquisitive to see where the writer will take us in the following book.

REVIEW TIME!!!


Book: Triggadale (Shots Fired)
Author: Elijah R. Freeman
Reviewer: Free

Ok let’s start with the title- Triggadale (Shots Fired) that alone let you as a reader know that there will be no games played in this book. From the first page, Omar has a 9 millimeter to his dome. He did not understand what the phrase “YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS” meant, so now he was leaking from a huge gash. This is when Author Elijah introduced you to Huncho and Flame. Flame and Huncho were the two who was standing on the opposite end, they were delivering this punishment. YES, that’s how it start off Author Elijah R. Freeman grabbed reader attention from the very first page and didn’t let go of it until the final page. I would definitely say that this is urban fiction all the way through. If you are a fan of reading books about gunplay, gangs, streets, loyalty, getting money and making moves, then this should be on your reading list. By the end of the book Elijah let his trigger finger do the talking. However he did leave us wondering what is next for Huncho…
It was an enjoyable read, unexpected, noticed a few errors. Nothing that can’t be quickly fixed, congratulations E.R.F

Triggadale: Shots Fired – Elijah R Freeman

I was given a copy of this book by the author in order to provide an honest review.

Elijah R Freeman is an American author who writes a lot of urban fiction short stories such as “Triggdale: Huncho’s Way” and “To Live With No One to Love”.


In Riverdale, the South Side Mafia run the streets but as Huncho and his people are about to find out, a new crew is in town trying to cause trouble and get a foot hold in their town.

Dre and his crew, Hit Squad Taliban, don’t realise who they are messing with and the true cost of the war they have started with Huncho and the South Side Mafia.

Soon guns are blazing and bodies are dropping as the streets run red with blood of the fallen.

Only a true player will be able to survive and ensure their crew comes out on top.


“Triggadale: Shots Fired” is a short urban fiction story that is action packed and bloody from the first page. The author has created believable and ruthless players of a dangerous game. I loved the twist in the ending, definitely didn’t see that one coming!
