Treason
Even diehard T. Styles’ fans won’t be mentally prepared for this tale! Cage Stryker was born to idyllic parents, Magnus, and Lala Stryker. Owners of a million-dollar estate, the couple makes sure that Cage and his four siblings want for nothing. For the most part Cage’s life is uneventful until he meets Darren “Onion” Walker and Nikki James. From day one the three are inseparable, down to hating and liking the same things. Their bond is made difficult when Nikki makes it known that she’s in love with Cage, while Onion wants her. When Tino and JoJo Ledger move into the prominent neighborhood, Cage is immediately drawn to their perverse nature, dismantling the trio altogether. One visit…two visits later, he stalks the Ledgers from afar and suddenly craves their way of life. Being the eldest, he doesn’t stop to think that his siblings are watching and mirroring his every move. After a while those who remember the good times often whisper, “It’s real sad what happened to ‘dem Stryker kids.” Suddenly one action snatches Cage and his family away from the storybook lifestyle they were accustomed, to what can only be described as hell on earth. Treason hits hard while taking all prisoners! A new era of storytelling begins.

Cage Vs Onion - January series
Treason by T. Styles is reminded me of Queen of Damned and Twilight movie series. Treason is a good and amazing story. T. Styles did a good job for this series. It’s well written and phenomenal page.
This is my first time to reading about vampires, humans , norms and wolves 🐺 from this series. Cage should listen to Magus about Tino and JoJo. Cage and Onion are childhood friends before Tino and JoJo made them against to each other with love/hate or fighting for over the same girl.
My condolences to Violent and her family! I can’t wait to read part two of Treason.

I don't have to tell you that i thoroughly enjoyed this book. I am a true Twisted Baby and I STAN behind anything T Styles has written. As much as I do enjoy her series, i long for her new characters and Baybbbbbeeeee Mama delivered!
Cage Stryker is a 17 almost 18 year old young man when this book begins. He ia struggling to find his place with his family and within himself as he approaches manhood. And that's where it begins to get real! Its so many secrets and plot twista all up and through this book that I was left speechless. About halfway thru I felt like it wasn't enough book left to reveal all that needed to be revealed. Which is why i can't express my joy about this book any further without revealing spoilers. I will say that this one touches on people that T Styles have written about before. The character names? Love how they're all different from a lot of the usual. And I am ready for the next book!

dragged out
Most of the time it’s like GET TO THE POINT.. I can’t believe Tino knew how jojo was killed but still let anybody but him self fix his drinks, he died way too easily smh I don’t like Angelina and I hate that Cage married her and now I’m kinda wanting Onion to be on top. At first I was routing for cage but then he married Angelina and I just couldn’t understand why he like her from the beginning ew..
Who is Violent Grandmother? Is really annoying you beg and this book with a question mark and end it with the same unanswered question, again.. Who is violets grandmother and what is her purpose. No wait I just realized that Violet is Lala’s niece or something so that mean maybe Onion is being sneaky because of her connection to cage. Whatever, cage act weak and with help it seems he would have been killed. Make him powerful already.

A PAGE TURNER! WOW!!
I knew it was a supernatural storyline. It was a T.Styles gold nugget as usual! But, I'm a little confused about Cage's character, why is he portrayed as weak? When is he gonna smarten up and come into his own as far as gaining wisdom knowledge strength?! I thought vampires are suppose to have superhuman strength, heightened senses. I waited for him to use his abilities and it appears he doesn't have any, not any that counts or help him. He's being used throughout the whole book and now he's gonna have to die! Noooo! Onion can't win! I want to see him come into his power! I wish Magnus could have lived to help him cause he loved him. Hurry with pt 2 please!!!

Twisted baby love this T. Styles did it again...
Well first off this was a must great read... T Styles this was you on all levels had me on the edge reading word from word. I was feeling all kind of stuff angry mad happy hot and bothered got me a new book bae for sure. So Cage my book bae anyway I loved seeing his growth glad he got some balls to toughen up. Onion was cool at first but I knew something was off with him. Angelina went through it but still she was all over the place. Magnus and his wife I knew something bad was going to happen. Jojo and and Tino was the neighbors from Hell. So I'm not a spoiler but must must read.

Omg this book was fire from page one. I was so intrigued about the wolves and vamps this is definitely my type of book. My boy Cage was very naive in the beginning of his transformation but he learned the hard way god know he went through his trails and tribulations. I’m all in all in learned that you can’t trust everyone not your friends not even family.
Angelina was always down for Cage no matter what she had to do to keep him safe. Onion on the other hand was a friend/ snake I didn’t trust him from the start.
I’m happy that Cage and Angelina got each other in the end. I just hope Flow don’t try nothing stupid. Can’t wait till the next book to drop a definite read trust in on that.

Onions will never be the same
It took me a while because of my crazy work schedule, but it was worth it. The twist at the end will have you wondering why some people smell like onions when they sweat. The characters are perfect. There are a few parts that didn’t fit in, however the plot kept me reading until the end. This author never lets me down. I usually don’t read Vampire stories. This one was readable due to the current day setting. Great job mama. I look forward to reading part two.

Fantastic read as usual
I enjoyed every moment of reading the book. It was a very fascinating tale about vampires love and betrayal. The book had many twist and turns and each character had their own distinct voice.T styles has a way of drawing you in with her descriptive scenes and words .I both loved and hated Onions character but I was rooting for cage and Angelina till the end. I am anxious to read part 2.

Family Betrayal
Cage was a good kid until he met Onion and Angelina. The life that he thought was regular was far from it and he learned the hard way. Friends become enemies and enemies become “lovers”. So many secrets were revealed even Cage was blindsided and confused. I swear reading T Styles you never know what to expect and I didn’t expect nothing I’ve read. Another great read by this author.

Treason (The Cartel Presents) (Treason Book 1)
It was a different type of story that took a moment to get into. Now Onion and Cage will go one on one in establishing who will be in power in the future. Vamps or Wolves in the DMV?! Don' t know what"s in store next but I cannot wait to continue reading this series. Writer T. Styles has picked a paranormal genre that entices and intrigues the readers senses.

Well I Be Damn!!!
Listen!!! T. Styles NEVER cease to amaze me with her wicked pen game. I was hooked from start to finish. I read this in one setting. Hearing from Lala gave me a better understanding of their lifestyle because I was not liking Magnus at all! I hate what Onion & Cage has become. However, I am 100% team Cage, but I hated how naive he was. After that ending I'm now I'm interested in "Pierre" & Violet.

THIS👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
MAN LISTEN!!!! I would give this 10 🌟 if I could. In the beginning I was like, she’s all over the place…but baby let me just say this was SO GOOD. I tend to figure stuff out early on and get bored easily. The ending had me like 😳😳😳. I’m not one for spoilers…but I will say this…it’s NOT gonna end how you would expect. Great read 👍🏾

WHAT!!!!!
I am an avid reader and usually get through 20-30 books in a month, no lie.... This story here?? Was one of the most compelling and kept me deep trying to see what happened next. Twists and turns, sometimes having to go back and reread something to fully understand and follow this story was captivating for me to say the least. Very Well Done🔥🔥🔥

This read was confusing. For the most part it was read as extremely juvenile. Because of this their were many discomforting parts. I'm overall disatisfied with the book but I also have interest in the story. The writing was mediocre and really easy to consume, but at times the story even is all over the place. I won't follow up with this.

Read the best!!
Ohh Treason! I won’t say much due to the nature of the book and its story, but I enjoyed it from start to finish. Cage is something else for sure but I understand his path in this book. It’s another T. Styles masterpiece.

Exceptional story!!!
I couldn't get how the treason fit in till near the end when he said it. It was a lot of characters to keep up with but the storyline and the action made for an excellent read. Waiting on part 2, cause Pierre has got to be Onion ?

Unexpected
Usually when a book even mentions vamps or werewolves it doesn’t hold my interest. This book was relatable and so good . It touched real family and friendship issues with a flair. This author did that . I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good read.

GREAT 👍🏽
This is a great 👍🏽 read and the plot keeps getting thicker. I can’t wait to see how all this turns out. I know it’s onion talking with the young lady. I’m sure of it but what does he want with her?

Onion
That dude onion has a story to tell. Even though he seems like a dirty person, it has to be a reason why he did what he did. Now he is going to have to go up against a powerful VAMP that is not about to play with him. Let the best man win.

Great Opening
Oh! This was certainly a page turner from page 1. I enjoyed this series and can’t wait to start #2. I really like Cage’s character. Onion & Angelina are very interesting as well. That ending was wild as I was wondering how Violet tied into everything.
