If she makes one wrong move, she could fall and land on her own demise. She's running... she's running with scissors.The entire town is in chaos and its a world of violence, tainted love, and revenge.

I’m becoming so delusional when it comes to the reemergence of Carter Jones that it’s sick. Bring my man back, I’m tired of the games. His resurrection doesn’t even have to make sense at this point 😩just bring him back.

Now the way book 1 ended, I should have known the ending of this one was going to wreck me per usual! And the fact that Jaquavis left 2 of my favorites fate in limbo left me speechless. Some of my anticipations were dead wrong, I was definitely wrong with what I mentally said about Flower. I just knew I had it figured out lol… Cary Hite did great with the narration, but I expected nothing less! He always gives us a good audiobook experience.

Can’t wait for book 3, I need to know what’s going on with my people. Cuz right now I am shook!

When Things Go Wrong.......

This book wasn't what I expected, it's was to calm for me when murdering was lurking around everywhere. There's gonna be some unfortunate death that I'm feeling at the moment (hoping my feelings are deceiving me frfr), this can't be the end for sure!

WTF

Too many stories only end abruptly with everything lingering is crazy work. Now we have to wait another 2 years for part 3.

Dragging out

This book left too many plots and twists. It was kind of all over the place. It takes years to get the next book.

Big fan of the Coleman’s work ❤️

Big fan of The Cartel. Really all Jaquavis’ work. This book got me in a chokehold. It was milder than I thought it would be and I just knew this was the last installment for this piece. I’m glad to see there is another book coming!

Too many new characters. Too many stories. Hopped from scene to scene to scene. Then it ended.

[Nikkia Chante’ · Rating 5 out of 5]

As long as I waited for part two, for it to end like that. Ugh now the wait for part three. The agony of not knowing CJ and Aries actual fate is nerve wrecking.

Book#2 - The book picks up with Aries reeling from the brutal murder of her son. She struggles with grief and guilt. She deals with depression and self-blame, trying to figure out what went wrong and how she might have prevented the tragedy. Despite her pain, she is out for revenge for everyone involved. As she investigates, she realizes things are not what they seem. New foes surface, and she starts to question previous assumptions about people she trusted. A new war has begun, and everyone will not come out alive
