About the author
Brooklyn June

He abandoned his love for writing for the dangerous life on the streets of Brooklyn. His involvement changed from petty crimes to becoming a major distributor of illegal drugs out of state. During his tenure in these activities he was convicted and incarcerated. His time behind bars gave him new insight but when released on parole he went right back to the life that put him behind the barbed wire fences.
here was no stability in his life and the only person he was responsible for was himself but the birth of his first daughter changed the way he viewed life and he set out to change his existence.
June enrolled into college to pursue his Degree where his creative writing ability was again showcased in this setting and recognized by his English professors.
While pursuing his degree, tragedy struck and one of his closest friends was brutally murdered. Not knowing how to deal with the loss he channeled his pain into something that came to him naturally, he wrote the story.
June began penning his novel This Game Has No Loyalty and incorporated his own experiences into his writing to produce the “realness” his story needed to capture his audience. He created his publishing company, FourShadough Publishing to self publish his body of written work.
In 2013 he was discovered by Ashley & JaQuavis and offered a spot on as a signed author to their new publishing company O.W.L.- Official Writers League. His title International Regime is scheduled to be released 2014-2015.
June is currently penning the follow up to his This Game Has No Loyalty Series.

This story was about three young girls Michelle, Bridget and Darlene, who grow up in the hood, and call themselves, the Precious Jewels crew. Michelle, the main protagonist, through a series of events, becomes the leader of the crew and the youngest Queen pin.
Color. Cut. Clarity is about love, lies, secrets, betrayal, murder and treachery at best, and how it plays out with surprising twists and turns.
June Miller is a beast with his pen, and a phenomenal story teller. His characters are well developed and real. Reading this book was like watching a movie or being on a roller coaster ride.
The ending alone was pure fire. I sincerely hope June Miller writes a sequel because I want to know what happens next.

Cool
Not quite often you read a book were a young girl start selling dope and coming up . It had its moment were Michelle would be talking and I'm like she 14 talking like she about 26 . I loved how her word was her bond and she stayed down for tone .Butter was a snake unloyal and not trustworthy he had two friends under his spell . They were so blinded they didn't see his real intentions . He basically used them to get to Michelle . Couldn't believe the part Darlene played the role she played was the only part I didn't figure out . Bridgette was stupid in love and let the white get her but she knew what was wassup in a way . I feel like it's not really the end . The book was good and enough to keep you going . Only reason it gets a 4 because it didn't give me that rush or had me thinking what was gone happen . But overall still good story .

Treachery at its Finest
Yes, this book is the real deal. Just when you think your friends are as loyal as you are, you find out that they have some secrets of their own. Michelle had a rough upbringing but she had her two best friends forever. Or so she thought. This book makes you question the loyalty of those closest to you. The plot twists were surprising but definitely added to the story. Great job June Miller. This is a winner!

Gem of a story...Exciting urban read as these young girls took over. I was impressed with their lucrative plan & their crew names. Well written characters & content. I thought Michelle was a true leader. Bridget had faults but was trustworthy while Darlene was a surprise. Butter was ridiculous while Tone's influence was known throughout. As I have read several books by June Miller, this was another great read I truly enjoyed!

This book is easily one of my favorites. I really liked that the girls were the ones handling the business and weren't taking orders from the men. Another thing that was refreshing for me personally was that the editing was pretty good. I cannot count how many urban books that I've read where the editing and grammar was terrible. The storyline was great and kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm going to be on the lookout for the next installment of this book.

Absolute Genius
June Miller has shown so much skill when he wrote CCC that he left me with my heart beating out my chest. Omg the lie, love, and deceit was all over the damn pages. The way Shelly HELD TONE down was freaking awesome but come on June you left your girl on red..........Until part 2. Awesome job #Owl500

Loved it!
As I always say, June Miller has done it again. This book is filled with so much drama it kept me in tuned in from page 1. The drug game is so crooked and fast money is not always good. Loved the character build up and the plot was juicy. June always has a way of making each character come alive in your head. Keep the good books coming June!!

First Time Reader of this Author
I actually enjoyed this book, mainly because it was well written, which is why I gave it 4 stars. But it was pretty predictable, and felt like I've read the story before. The author obviously ensures proper editing of his books, and for that reason, I will read his other works.

Although the book started off slow, I enjoyed it. Once the story started to unfold I had numerous jaw dropping moments when all the deceit was revealed. Nonetheless I'm always a fan of a good gangsta novel.

This was my first read by the author and I will say this, it won't be my last. June Miller did an awesome job with this book. So much disloyalty was involved. The characters were well developed. You either loved them or hated them. Great job June.
