Then There Was Us: A Ghetto Love In Detroit
*COMPLETE SERIES 1-4*Raised in the corrupt city of Detroit with two crackhead parents, Yemi & her big sister Sable were forced to grow up at a young age. Life had never been fair to either of them, but the only way from down was up. When the unimaginable occurs, Yemi loses all hope, sending her over the edge of sanity. Unlike his brothers, Azar’s attention was on things other than drug dealing and killing. His primary focus was on becoming a professional boxer, and his remarkable record was sure to land him exactly where he wanted to be. That is, if the lifestyle that the people around him lived didn't get in the way of it. During his pursuit of success, the young and lost Yemi Daniels comes into his life. Hopeless and with the will to die, Yemi gives Azar no other choice but to save her. Thing is, Yemi didn't want to be saved. She wanted nothing more than to be left alone to sulk in her own sorrows. When a high school friend resurfaces, everything changes, and she finds hope in a life she had lost all hope in.

I loved this story
It my third time read it. Miss candice ability to bring out so many different emotions through her characters in this series is crazy. I cried and laughed through the series. I felt like bad for sable and yemi Azar is a hood Angel. Tasha was another character I felt sorry for. I could not understand why everyone let Ricky get away with be a savage. Yemi revenge was justice served cold ass rocky was. Zazz was a real life savage.

Azar
Oh I'm torn on this one! I felt all of the pain that Yemi endured! I cried with her! She was dealt a hard life! I like that Agar was that helping hand that she needed to get her life together, but Yemi should have listened to him about Raquel! Raquel got what she deserved at the end! I did not like that Azar had to be the one to do all of the killing. Those were the parts of the book that torn me up!

Great read
Man I felt Yemi's pain when her sister died. Azar was a good man he stood by her though her trials & tribulations. They r truly a happy couple bc they've both endured so much, I just wish his mother could be happy for them. This was a very emotional read but the ending was awesome. Great job Miss Candice on writing this book loved it.

Wow! What a story
This book was definitely a page turner! It had drama, excitement, romance and mystery. Yemi definitely reached rock bottom in her life. She was betrayed by several fake friends in her life. Yet, through it all, the one person was there who loved her unconditionally. This was an amazing story.
