Trapped in the Game

by Tamicka Higgins

He wants out, but with each move, he's deeper in the game. The streets are no place to live a life. And Black knows that better than anyone. After a drug heist gone bad, Black and Buzzy are hellbent on selling off all the pills they thought they'd gotten away with. All they want now is to unload the narcotics and live the high life by spending the cash and getting out of the business. But that's easier said than done... The two men they lifted the drugs from are making demands, and Black and Buzzy can't turn away. Now, Black is faced with a new challenge, falling for Layla, a chick he just can't have. After all, she's married to the man who's doing time for Black's heist. Black can't possibly take everything from him. With the cops on his tail, a desire to bail on the game, and a guilty conscience, Black must act carefully. But will his next move involve another man's wife?

Modern version of "They pulled me back in"

Tony Black has lived his life on the wrong side of the law. Like many before him, he believes one last score can get him out. So what does he do? Yes, of course, he robs a pharmacy with 3 career criminals who also happen to be addicts. What could go wrong?

This book is classified contemporary romance, but the romance was the least interesting part about the story. Would have loved for the author to have resisted that ploy and just gone all in with the redemption ARC. Still enjoyed overall, foul language not withstanding, particularly the character interactions.

Hilarious

I'm not sure if this was supposed to be funny or not but these characters had me laughing. Four addicts trying to pull off a heist at a pharmacy. Of course they messed it up. Black was supposed to be the smartest one but wasn't. He meets and falls for Vic's wife after he gets caught and goes to jail. He just took over the man's family. Lenny was a fool from the start so it doesn't end well for him. But Buzzy is the funny one throughout the story. I actually kind of liked this one. I'm interested in seeing what else can happen.

While this book centered around a serious situation, I found it to be funny as well. While Black was the serious one of the duo, you couldn't help but to laugh out loud a time or two at the antics of Buzzy. Black tries to turn his life of crime around but figures that one last job would get him set to do so but asthe saying goes, sometimes its best to quit while you're ahead.

I voluntarily readed an advanced readers copy if this book in exchange for an honest review

Into Black

The book was good. It seemed like a short story a lot different from the Side Chick series. I gave it a three stars. I liked the story but it seemed rushed. I hope to find out more about the characters.

Trapped

It looks like Black wants out but he's forever trapped because it's always going to be something. I was sure Vic would know what was up by the end but soon he will. What's the next move?

Don't bother

Please don't bother with downloading this book. Normally I can read a GOOD book in a day; however this book, I literally forced myself to finish ( 3 weeks because it was that slow paced & uninteresting). I can't recommend this book to read

Couldn't

I just could not get into this book although I tried to book starts off very slow and by the time I got said 30% it didn't pick up so I didn't finish it

[mabel · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was ok, but not enough to keep you engaged to the book. I did finish it, but was not interested in reading further.

Meh

I've read this author's work before and loved it. This, however was mother best work. The story was old and predictable.

[donna mciver · Rating 4 out of 5]

The plot was good, made me wanna keep reading to see what was going to happen next.

Did not like it that black go with his boys girl. It was predictable after he went to her house

Drama

Story is filled with betrayal, guns and love. Greed will get you put six feet under. Sometimes wanting a better life will cost you dearly. It's got to be a part 2!!!
