War #14
The Gods Of Everything Else 2: Too Close To The Sun (The Cartel Publications Presents)
After making big boy moves to get from under his billionaire father, Banks Wales, Ace proves he has the tenacity to live on his own in Baltimore. With millions at his disposal, he doesn’t miss a beat, trading mansions on the beach for penthouses in the city.
Soon he misses his twin brother Walid and unknowingly allows his ego to present itself in dangerous ways when he’s rejected. This pushes his relationship with his fiancé, Arbella Valentine, into dangerous territories.
All the while, it’s clear that Banks knows all and manipulates moves in the background to keep his iron fist on Ace. Meanwhile, Mason tries desperately to stop another war from festering within the family.
Can Ace survive the curse of the Wales and Louisville bloodline that courses through his veins?
And how will Walid maneuver without his twin by his side?
The Gods of Everything Else 2 will leave you in shock and have you aching for more as we reintroduce the new and crazy generation!

another wild ride
This family…it is always something with them…the drama is never ending. As a reader, I am here for it! T. Styles always has me highlighting things and googling ish…like what’s a dead name? Context clues give you an idea but your curiosity is piqued and boom you are down a rabbit hole. I need Part 3.

TWISTED MAMA T!
Girrrl! You had me holding my breath thinking that you were going to kill Ace! He did some bogus things for sure. But, I thought you would have them get him some help which is what he needs. After all his grandmother did a job on him too! Now he's angrier than ever being rescued by an evil man that I'm sure made him worse! PLEASE don't kill him!! Let him and his family especially his twin Walid rebuild their relationship he needs them! Banks eventually forgave Minnie as did the rest of them. Aren't there some compassion for ACE? He is a product of Banks and Mason after all. And we know Mason ain't Never played with a full deck!!!😂 In the next book save him! If anybody can you can! You're a MASTERMIND of an Author for a
reason!! Oh and bring Walid love again!!!

Initially when Ace was the "bad" twin, I thought it would be a limit to his shenanigans. I thought I knew my favorite author. But 65 percent into this book, I realized I don't know NOTHING! T Styles came swinging all the way outta left field and hit a home run with the levels this character was willing to go. The scenes literally in the last half of the book had my heart racing! I'm so emotionally invested in these characters, I honestly don't want the series to end. And that's saying a lot cuz way back when the War series was beginning I didn't expect the storyline to evolve this deeply. These characters are my family and I miss them already

You can have it all and it never be good enough
This was an intense read and it was good. It’s so unfortunate that ace mind is so warped he lacks accountability. I really was hoping he would change and be better but all he wants to do is cause pain and hurt to those who he’s suppose to love. The message is clear family doesn’t mean anything if you don’t love them like you love yourself. I can see and feel all parts but how much more fruitful life would be if people leave toxic individuals alone whether it’s friend or kin… I have no idea what the next book will be like. Only time will tell….

Good read
Wow. That was some shit. Ace doing that to his family that only wanted the best for him and to love him. Causing that much trouble desire and ass whipping that Walid put on him. But no matter how much Banks said he was through he still kept track of his son. But for the shit that Ace has done is nowhere near what Banks is going to do with him next. We though the War between Banks and Mason was bad i can't wait to read what's going to happen with Ace. But at the end they always see it Banks way hint Mason.

March 31, 2022Whoa!!! Amazing!!!!
Its awesome how each part of this series gets better and better. Ace is more like Banks, than Banks could possibly understand, he underestimated him once and this one might be his ending. I hated how Ace snitched and hurt everyone, but that's selfish Ace as usual. I had forgotten about how he pushed Celeste down the stair and crippled her, what a monster and even worse now!!! Waiting on the next episode!!!!

Goodness gracious!
I just don't even knowing I have the words! Ace!!!!! I shouldn't be surprised because Ace is Ace but my goodness he kept topping his usual antics. And Blakeslee, that child is something else. The way she would lie with no regard blew me away. She's literally the girl version of Ace. These stories keep getting crazier and crazier. And I be tuned tf in waiting to see what happens next in the saga of the Wales and Lou's. I need another book NOW!

This series just get better and better! Ace is back !! Revenge is the name of the game now!! I hate seeing Ace having to go against his family, but lines have been crossed. I just hope in the end they can come to some sort of understanding and forgiveness! I’m Team Ace!!! So ready for next installment!!!!
May 20, 2022
Whewww chile, when I say a thriller,I mean a thriller! Ace is definitely a loose cannon like he really has serious issues...honestly they all do. I already know Ace is about to destroy whatever paradise Banks has made. I hope the Wales and the Lou's are ready for the tsunami, that's about to hit the island!!!

Another great one
Sometimes I want to be anger at Banks but I understand his need to want to protect his family. I really him and Mason would get together. The need to keep saving Ace is going be this family's demise.

OMG on me!
Styles you outdid yourself. The only problem I had was when Ace my died or die became a snitch. lol. I give two thumbs and a hop skip and jump 10. I truly appreciate your vision, I wish you will hurry and get the next one out. I pray Banks and Ace come to a truce.

I don’t know who side to take in all this. Banks was overboard but dang Ace really went wild with all that he did. That ending was perfect too. I know one thing… It’s always gone be Mason and Banks🤞🏾🖤.

Nice
That was good. They really underestimate Ace and I guess they are about to find out. I guess the story continues.
