Sweet Licks… Born and raised in Chicago’s dilapidated Lawndale neighborhood, Dirty Boy and his crew have lived all their lives in poverty. So poor that their refrigerators were as empty as their dreams. That was until the day Dirty Boy’s best friend suggests a robbery that would end up making them the richest crew in their hood. But, as we all know, sweet licks sometimes come with consequences. When other crews get involved, things go terribly wrong for Dirty Boy. Will he find the snake in his crew before it’s too late? Or will he become a victim of the cold Chicago streets? Only time will tell…

I had no clue what I was getting myself into once I started “Sweet Licks “by Authors Leo Sullivan and Rio. What I soon discovered was an action packed novel full of drama and more twists and turns then I could count. I was immediately pulled in from the first page and it held my attention all the way to the very last. The characters were realistic and the plot flowed smoothly. I’m definitely looking forward to reading part two. 5 stars!
A snake can come in all types of forms. Sometimes people pretend to be your friend when they are truly the enemy. I didn't think Fat Body would turn on his friends like that. I wouldn't be surprised if he had something to do with Larry being killed. I hope Dirty and Dion can repair their friendship.
This book was good from beginning to end. It held my attention good cause I didn't know who to trust. Who is the killer? Is it Dion or who? The story plot thickens after they try and kill Dion and Kenya. I'm on to part 2.
I would have given this book four stars, but there were so many characters that I got confused at times. I almost to the point that I don't want Dirty and Dion to get caught. I am ready to read more.
