Misfits: Children of the Wild

by Devin Shane, AccuProse Editing Services (Editor)

Growing up in Killy aka Philly is no joke; death, chaos, and drama are always in arm’s length in the rowdy city. Even though teenage Travis Worthy would rather serve his country in the Army and be all he can be, the allure of the game keeps calling his name. With skills of combat instilled in him by his father, he helps a friend named Damon lead his crew called, Misfits, to be one of the most vicious street battalions internationally in the crime life. Being a gangster isn’t something he wants to do, but Travis has to take care of his mom and three other siblings, so he plays his part of the hood assassin and he plays it well.

Damon Price had a rough upbringing, but still managed to know the finer things in life even in his teenage years. After his notoriously known brother is murdered, he’s left fending for himself on the streets of Philly. However, that doesn’t stop his goal of reigning over the hood kingdom since he hustles hard and runs a thorough crew in his brother’s gang. Even though others think they have Damon counted as just another statistic playing an unwinnable game, they are wrong. His mind is set on ruling over the world by any means necessary.

Although teenage Hydia Jeffries grew up in a crazy family full of addicts and alcoholics, she’s full of spirit and ambition. Her goal is to change the world through medicine, but she’s got to survive poverty first. So, to get by she and her best friend, Leeshill, commit petty crimes to earn cash. A life of crime is not what she wants, but she has a calling in the street life she can’t deny and it’s the only way she’ll survive.

The young people together end up entangled in a life of crime and drama. Once they enter each other’s worlds, things are never the same. Travis introduces Hydia to the world of drugs making them partners in the lucrative business. Damon is not too fond of Travis and Hydia’s relationship, but he can’t deny that they make a great duet. As they get to know one another and join forces as Misfits members, feelings develop and they embark on one great love affair. Through the years they go through tragedy, joy, pain, and love. It’s an urban romance story that’s part magnetic, part crazy, but all passion. Because of its gritty language and raw emotions, it’ll keep you hanging onto every word.

pretty good read!

This was my first read by this author and I gotta admit I’m impressed! I did give this book 4 out of 5 stars only because it started out a little slow for my liking! I typically don’t like reading about kids but this story turned out pretty good! Once the plot took off I couldn’t stop reading until I finished! If you’re looking for a book that’s action pack all around the board then this is most definitely one you should be reading!
