C. N. Phillips returns with the next tale in the saga of five crime families that run the streets of New York’s five boroughs. The uneasy alliance they once shared has been compromised, and now no one is truly safe from retribution.

Caesar knew the peace he started had an expiration date, but he never thought the end would be so explosive. With the Pact completely dissolved and the Chinese angered beyond measure at the loss of their leader, they want Boogie’s head bloody and served on a stick. Caesar is willing to protect him at all costs, even if it puts him at odds with the allies still on his side.

Immediately picks up from book 2. Enter the Triad! I enjoyed this storyline much better than the first two books. Ends on a cliffhanger.

WOW!

What an ending. Ming doesn't play when he is faced with the truth. I really like King Ceasar, Diana, Boogie, Roz, Tazz and Bentley. How is what the great, great, grandfather said going to play out. Will Ming start a war with Ceasar, Diana and Boogie? Can't we all get along? I think that Bentley and Morgan, Boogie sister will end up together. This is a great series! The author did a good job and I recommend this book!

I was taken aback by how Caesar went from being a teenager to having decades in the game. I saw no evidence of this. Boogie appeared out of nowhere. Why someone attempted to murder him was never explained. Cassius had a plan to take over that was cut short really quickly. These guys never enjoyed the fruits of their labors as murdera were frequent. Nasir was slimy for no reason. Then a Namir appeared. You cannot make this up. The Five Families never operated as a whole. The title was misleading and the story line poorly developed.

It’s been a long time since i’ve read a book like this. I got tired of reading the same thing but i’ve always been a fan of Mr Webers and thought this new author he was signing off of deserved a chance. I’m impressed each book had its on story, very well executed. Great job! I’ll wait until the forth installment reach the audible level and eagerly read and listen at the same time.

Suspenseful!

Kind gave it a 5-star rating because this book captured my attention from book one. Great characters. Serious and comical at the same time. The Chinese and the Italians irked my soul. And not to mention Simon, what the shell did he think he was doing? Overall, it was a good read.

THE BRONX (BOOK 3) INSTALLMENT OF FIVE FAMILIES OF NY WAS INTRIGUING HOWVERE, IT DIDN'T GRAB MY FULL ATTENTION, WHICH IS ODD, GIVEN I'D LISTENED TO ALL THRE VIA AUDIBLE.
MAYBE THE NARRATORS DIDN'T BRING THE CHARACTERS ALIVE VIA THEIR NARRATIONS. IDK. IT DIDN'T APPEAL TO ME.

This is my jam....full, captivating characters and story line. I am unbothered by the additional characters. It just flows.

I need this in a Netflix series.
