I'm not entirely convinced this book has ever been edited.

I have no idea how it's reached an average 4 star rating.

Cash rules everything around me and in Bridgeport Connecticut there is no difference. In this first episode, Payback's A Bitch we're introduced to childhood friends Cream, Warren a.k.a War and Drench. Cream is known for hustling hustlers, War is a big time womanizer and poor Drench is a broke weed head. The three friends are all products of their environment and find themselves in "the garden" preparing to extract revenge on a small time hustler.

Just as the conspiracy opens up the readers are introduced to `the Woman Hood' a sexy hit squad that deals payback instead of dope. The all female militia take a special interest in Cream and War.

Payback's A Bitch is a terrific book with an assortment of drugs, sex, lies, betrayal, violence, politics and corruption.

I particularly like the way Marcus Spears illustrates a sense of hope and planning to rebuild and restructure the hoods. I cannot wait to read more about the `Woman Hood', they have me completely open.
