review 1: This is not going to be much of a review...the book was very forgettable. It lacked character development and a plot. Ok here it goes.Ali and his crew (G-Money, Diesel, Skip, Big Mel, plus others)are drug dealers with a heart. They have their territory on lock down, due to a lucrative deal with a rogue detective. The detective wants Ali to get rid of G-Money, but Ali refuses. The detective decides that he will allow another dealer, Rell to take over Ali and his gang's territory because he needs to keep his pockets lined. This decision causes an all out war between the two gangs. With a gang war going on, the women who love these men are left wondering what is going to happen to their men. Nancy, the abused, pregnant girl, who Ali has fallen for finds out that being... more down for her man will come at a high cost. Coco finds herself conforting her man's side piece at the hospital, and April decides that enough is enough.If that isn't enough, there is a snitch in Ali's gang? Who is it?All this was happening, but nothing was happening. The first half of the book was BORING! The second half was filled with senseless killings. There was no character development. Not sure if I'm going to read part two of this series.....
review 2: Well let me say, I love the title and love the cover, but I couldnt get into the book. Maybe it was the several punctuation and spelling mistakes that I found or the structure of the dialogue (multiple people talked in one paragraph as apposed to everyone having tbeir own line) or maybe all the cursing. I only read the story of Nancy, thats how the book started and thats what I wanted to finish with. I hate being introduced to another story in the next chapter. The story of Nancy is about a woman in an abusive relationship and ends up in a better one, but with a drug dealer. Interesting story, but I have a problem. Coco, a friend of Nancy's calls her a Christian. That's where the trouble begins for me. Nancy is a single, soon to be mother, worked at some place topless for a couple days, curses, threatens people and even masturbates. About a month later she's already moved in with him and has premarital relations (and we're given a somewhat graphic play by play of it) Now, I don't want to get into a debate in the comments on how a Christian should behave. What they do behind closed doors is between them and God, but if you are going to write about a Christian in a book, I think that they should be portrayed as such. Throughout all of Nancy's troubles not once does she ask God for help. Needless to say she wasn't a Christian at all and Im guessing her friend Coco said it as a joke of sorts. if that's the case the author should have acknowledged that, her actions after carrying the christian title upset me.Overall I'm rating it a 2 stars because some stuff did interest me, but between Nancy character, the explicit sex activity and other things I had to take away stars. Again books should come with warning labels. less
