“Family was all I had, until family became my worst nightmare, literally. Being stripped of my innocence, and growing up without my father, I knew I had to take my place in the game, head on.”
Eighteen year old Naomi Franklin, was just a young girl when she learned, the streets didn't love nobody. Losing her father at the tender age of 7, she grew up learning not to trust a soul. The family she once knew seemed very unfamiliar, and her once warm heart was now cold. Making a huge decision, she trys to not only avenge her fathers death, but takes his place in the dope game, as well. It was her father who'd built the empire, so she felt it was only right to continue his legacy.
Ezekiel Zeek Franklin, taught his baby girl everything she needed to learn in life; his main lesson being the code of the streets. He was the man of the city, and was deeply devoted to his family, but as the saying goes, you live by the gun, you die by the gun & Zeek was one pistol toting savage. Getting swallowed up in his dealings, he leaves his family to mourn his passing. But what happens when his killer is closer to them than they think?
In this urban, drama filled tale, lines are crossed and lies are exposed. You will learn that love isn't loyalty and blood doesn't make you family. Every body wants to be the boss, but there can only be one. Find out who comes out on top in the first installment of this juicy, series!
This book was SUPERB!!! I loved everything about this book. El and his mammy got exactly what they deserved. Chelle did all that scheming and betraying to her own family. I'm so happy Zeek is alive and I want to know what he's been up to for 10years. Can't wait for part two.💜💚
Wow, lots of secrets and one big surprise at the end. Chelle was very selfish and El was a punk, that couldn’t keep him mouth to himself. Their karma came back for them. Jazzy was definitely down with her cousin no questions asked. Zeek wow! I’m glad Money was cleared. Can’t wait for part 2
I love the suspense i can not wait to see what's gonna happen in part 2 im so happy Zeek is alive now MiMi and Nina can be one happy family...hopefully
Wow...there was so much going on in this book that I just knew it was a standalone. What else could this family possibly have to go through? Mimi is definitely a boss and earned the title of "Lil Zeek" as Jazzy called her. I didnt see the twist at the end but im glad Money wasnt the snake he was portrayed to be. I was cheering Jazzy at the end cause El got exactly what he deserved. This book will have you going through all types of emotions. Good job Rayna...hopefully part two is as eventful!
First off I want to say this book was a page turner for sure! EL was just disgust me I can’t believe he did his own cousin like that but he snake just like his snake mother. I knew Money knew something and poor Michelle she thought she was a boss but was so stupid and naive to the game I’m glad she got what she deserved. 😂😂😂 Mimi is truly her father child and fire cracker like her mother I can’t wait for part two drop...
Secrets and lies would sum up this story. Who can you really trust. Zeek was betrayed by the greed of Michelle his own flesh and blood. She thought she was taking over but lil did she know she was getting played the whole time. Mimi was definitely her father's child. Her and Jazzy was thick as thieves. El didn't deserve to live and i didn't like his pedolphiling tail. I wonder is Naphi a good dude or he playing the field. I need pt.2 cuz i need answers
Now u got us good with Zeek reappearing like that. Then u had it where we didn't even see it coming cause I really thought he was dead. That's crazy how Michelle turned on her own brother, like really. You can't even trust family these days. I like how u did the Zeek returning part though with no clues, then Michelle pissed herself, lol. I'm starting part 2 now. Great job.
I love little ms feisty mimi. Yes boss up on them sis. This was a good read from beginning to end. All these snakes so close to home Money would’ve been came clean. I really thought he was dirty especially with the short money. To see the girls boss up instead of reading the same story line is refreshing. Highly recommended read. Can’t wait to read more.
Wow straight disloyal and fake people!!! No loyalty at all like really!! First time reading this author it had a few errors but nothing to take away from the book..Man this had me interested from beginning to end...Zeke got some explaining to do?? Who is honey and what's up with Naphi is he a good dude or a snake? What's really going on?
Great read with a good cliff hanger.. I can't believe how greed will make you do things to your own family but it goes to show you can't trust everybody.. Can't wait to see what happens in part 2 and especially what kInd of explanation money will have with his part in this.
I can’t believe that he was alive!! Jazzy & Mimi was straight gangsta!! Nina didn’t play either! But there’s special place for Aunt Chelle b/c she was real dirty about hers. This book was so good & I can’t wait to read part 2. Wonderful job, Ms Rayna Caprice!!!
Dope book I must say. Patiently waiting for part 2 I know it’s going to be bomb as well. I knew zeek was not dead though. But damn how they gonna get out of that room
