It was supposed to be quick, in and out. A put the tim down type of lick, that’s all. But it all went so very wrong…fast. Jabari had this crazy passion for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and making a helluva lot of wrong decisions. His homeboy paid a price for it with his life and Jabari ends up with two bodies on his hands. He needs to obtain money back that was stolen from a slick, ghetto, sheisty District Attorney, then find the only witness to the murders so he can have a clean slate. On top of it all, the witness also happens to be the one who’s found the money. But there are others stalking him, wanting the same thing, the money. Jabari needs to handle business fast before he too becomes the next victim or body, so he won’t be forever…lost. Get caught up with Jabari and turn the pages in this drama filled, action-packed novel written by the novelist ~Dean Hamid~
This was my first read by this author and I must say I’m impressed! I loved everything about this book! This was some absolutely good street Lit! From page one I was hooked. The suspense kept me turning he pages! The action in his book made me feel like it was picturing a movie in my head! This author does a great job with his story telling! If you love a book that’s action packed and suspenseful this this is one that you must read! I will be checking out more by this author!
I'm updating this review because the audio version was recently released. The story was made even more so engaging with the audio. The narrator did a good job of bringing Mr. Hamid's story to life. The author delivered a well-written story with solid character and plot development that captured my attention from the beginning. There was a good bit of attention and a whole lot of action. The story was also true to its genre. I was fully invested in Jabari's tale.
I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. It felt like a well written true to life story about gangs, sex, drugs & murder. I admit I’ve never experienced it for myself but this book depicts everything I think I know about gangs. There were many different characters, almost too many I found it hard to keep up at times, but overall I really enjoyed this story. Let’s talk narration. IMO, sometimes the characters sounded too much alike making it hard for me to tell who was speaking. Otherwise, the narration was fantastic. His voice & accents were absolutely perfect for this story. Well done! I recommend this book.
This is the first book I read from this author and let me tell you that I loved it! Such a good book with great characters that keeps you obsessed with every page since the first one. The ending of this book.. come on! I just didn´t expect it! Can´t wait to read other books from this great writer! Amazing job! a must-read!. A fantastic book that has it all! I happily endorse this story to any and all who are looking for a suspense enjoyable read and a completely different experience than anyone could imagine on their own. Great book!
