A Kut Above The Rest: Lovin' A Female Boss
Alexis Griggs has worked hard to get where she is in life. She owns several clinics that service people in need and is a pillar of her community; but looks can be deceiving. Alexis and her brother Jace are both leading double lives, which are both illegal and deadly. It leaves little time for Alexis to have a personal life; that is until she has a chance encounter with single father, Kevell Farrell.
Kevell Farrell used to be the man in the streets, until his brother was murdered. Now, he has his own contracting company which helps him take care of his son, baby mama, and ailing mother. With everything going on in his life, the last thing he needs is a relationship. But when he comes to Alexis’ rescue, the chemistry between the pair is undeniable.
Alexis and Kevell decide to see if the connection is real. But with enemies, secrets, and lies in the mix, will their relationship be over before it starts? Or will their union have deadly consequences?

Electrifying
What in the name that is petty was that! Can the queen of petty please take a bow! This book was electrifying . I thought it couldn’t get anymore crazy and twisted but baby was I wrong ! She kicked it up a notch in this one. This is definitely different from her usual work that’s for sure! There is no limit to the level of pettiness displayed in this book!! And no some characters can’t be redeemed yes I’m saying that now! This book took me from laughing, to shock and awe, to completely out done! This cast of characters most definitely is in a league of their own! The next book can go so many different ways I’m scared y’all! Let us pray! Phenomenal job! You did that

Well damn this book has been good from the beginning to the end and I don’t want it to end. What the hell is going on with worth that he would need to use lean, perc and do coke. He needs to tell his dad off and get rid of Camry. I knew Camry was a dirty ass hoe but I can’t wait till Alexis serve her with her scalpel. Onya deserve better I hope her and blast get together bc Worth ain't even a man who can handle pressure. Mr. Kevell is the shit and I love him for Alexis. I love the way he love his children. I like how Alexis and Onya friendship is so strong she didn't allow Rose to even change her mind about Onya. I know Kita upset her man in there but why keep asking why his sister ain’t there when you all are family. Alexis ain’t got nothing to do with why Jace got in jail and what good would it do if both of them was in there. Sometimes people kill me with what they say without thinking of the consequences I’m glad Jace checkmate that ass. I can’t get over Zeke and Rose she got to be real desperate to want a man who only want Alexis and he can’t and don' take care of the 5 kids he already have. I understand what Kevell is talking about loyalty and trust but sometimes secrets ain’t that easy to tell when you don’t want to hurt someone you love. I understand Alexis don’t tell him the truth but she chooses his mother to bless with a heart when she needed one. He should be there for her when she truly need him even if he mad bc she lied. Kevell ain’t playing but his son when he get to that hospital and Onya and baby girl ain’t right all hell going to break loss. Camry is going to get what she need bc Alexis ain’t playing about hers. I never saw that ending coming. I got the shock of my life. When I say this is book you must read I’m tell you the truth please go get this book asap!!! Its worth more than 5 star.

Wait, what?! I know you're lying. I swear I thought Rose would've been the one helping but that ending was truly a shocker. Kita and Zeke were really upset they weren't given anything that wasn't meant for them. Worth was truly worthless and he was weak for being Wealth's puppet. Kevell really needs to get over is honesty issue considering everyone has a past and their own issues dealing with it. Onya couldn't catch a break and Worth has definitely turned her world upside down. Alexis was crazy, but I liked her. Kut is gonna show out if Jace doesn't get out of his situation. I know there's still secrets that need to be unfolded and I can't wait for part 2.

Lisssssten Linda!!!! This bomb was BOMB! Cliché, but from start to finish it was a great book! Kut was ruthless and now that all this that happened in the ending has happen! Yeaa she bout to go straight psychotic!! Jace wife tho😑. That bihhhhhhh!! I did NOT expect that! She needs to die first chapter, first sentence of part two! Period! Kevell needs to forgive and understand why Kut didn’t tell him about her. To me it ain’t that deep! Great book! Part 2 coming out today???

A must read
I definitely didn’t see that coming. All of the drama and the twists and turns. I need book 2 ASAP. Kevell is about to tear the city up. I just hope he allows Alexis to help him. Jace and Onya needs to hook up. Rose needs to be delt with too. She’s trifling. And the other two fakes Zeke and Kita needs a slow death.

WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!! What I thought was what, was not. And yes exactly how I said that is what I meant. Y’all!!!!!!!! This book had so many plot twist that my mouth was on the flo every few turns once 50% of the book was complete. It’s like the drama, deceit, lies, and secrets were turned up to volume hell. Alexis….. I pray you get some peace because just as you found some it was snatched away from you. Jace, I hope you get the revenge you deserve because Keta was the scum of all scum. Keta had to be birth from the nut of the devil cause boy oh boy, ain’t no way. Rose you’re pathetic and I don’t feel sorry for you because HOW did you end up in the BS that you are now caught in. Zeke, I wish the worst and I mean the worst method of being unalived that is possible for you. Kevell, the amount of secrets that was kept from you l, I pray you find and get peace. Your babies deserve happiness and love and I pray they are unharmed. Anyah, God I pray love finds you cause Bri daddy is trash and a sorry excuse for a man. Worth, you deserve death, no forgiveness, no remorse, just death. You are a sorry piece of trash because you allowed yourself to be manipulated by a weak man that was behind bars. WHEW!!!! The way I want KARMA to spin the block for half the characters is unreal but bayyyybeeeee let me go start book 2 because the way book 1 got me trying to figure out what I don got into. Chilllllllleeeeeeee just go read it y’all cause it ain’t gon disappoint!

Chile! I was looking for nostalgia when i happen upon one of my fav authors from back in the day… Lawd this was some mess and just when I think i have it all figured out more secrets and more drama… The way I hopped to book two after that cliffhanger should be unlawful I haven’t slept a wink because I needs to know what’s happening and who are all the players in the game…So far I’m loving this series
November 3, 2022
Personally I loved the book. I was genuinely Surprised at every turn. I love Alexis. I enjoy her personality and the love she has for her family and community. I love that she has morals but she’s able to make those tough decisions I was stuck by the end. And Kevins people…. Literally crazy. AMAZING 💜

A Cut Above The Rest by Annita l. Jackson. This was a great book. I randomly selected and listened to on Audible. I was hesitant at first since it is part of a series but was like fuck it. It’s included in the subscription.
This is Good, juicy, gangsta and I was surprised at how book 1 ended. Oooh… I’m ready for Book 2

I now will only buy from certain authors when the series has finished. You I will buy immediately as I do not have to wait.

Definitely a must read and a kut above the rest. This book has left me SPEECHLESS.....Mouth wide open. The exact moment I thought I had it all figured out...BAM....totally wrong on every level. So many secrets and throw in all the twist and turns. Made it interesting and entertaining. One of the best books I've read this year.

Rose, Zeke and Kita beware cause KUT is coming.Highly anticipating the next installment after that ending. Amazing job Annitia L. Jackson.

Beast with a pen ❤❤❤❤❤
Annitia I must say you're one of my favorite Authors, but lately you have been the cause of my blood pressure staying up. You know you got to help Alexis and Kevell get this thing right because together I believe they will be a force to be reckoned with. Zeke and Kita needs to die a horrible slow death. I hope everything works out for Jace. I can't wait for part two so my health can go back to normal. Awesome job.

Jaw dropping, heart racing, smile showing, and palpitations causing...words to describe this awesome read. The author forewarned us about her pettiness, but I was not prepared. The ending is like watching fires...it builds up and then BOOM! I cannot wait for the next one!
