I think I’m falling out of love with the Cartel. I feel like it’s going in circles. 

Giving book 5 a try. Let’s see what Miamor, Breeze, and Leena do in this one… and how Carter, Zyir, and Money come back from “the dead.”

I love the series but honestly at this point it was drawn out too far. It’s still 2/3 more books. Everyone has died and come back to live at least twice. I support A&J but I don’t see the hype over The Cartel... I’m going to finish the series though..

This is the best in the series so far in my opinion. Finally got rid of M*cca, some of my old favorite characters Money and Murder are here, and the plot is fantastic. I love how the old good guys, and the ones they really made you love, came back as the big bads. It really had me questioning my allegiances. Ziar has come to the top of my list of favorite characters I would say. Also the best sex scene in this one (ayo?). Per usual the action is top tier and the endings are wild. This one was so stressful

I had a lot of issues with this book! I did enjoy the read but I feel as though Ashley & JaQuavis won't allow some of their characters to die off. It's like they're superheroes! Always coming back qnd it was annoying. I don't like how Money, Carter and Zyir were beefing and trying to kill each other to having a small fist fight just to become close again. It really made a portion of this book become pointless. I know that Carter, Zyir and Money went to Bermuda to get away from the Feds but they're just leaving their wives and children behind? I really wanted this to sum up better but sadly it was quite disappointing. Hopefully, The Cartel 5 will be better!

This series is going on for too long. It was good in the beginning, but now....it's too long and too unbelievable.

236 pages of straight up awesomeness!! I can't even effectively write a revise for this story without telling all of the hidden surprises and jaw dropping moments. The first chapter snatched me in til the very end!!! As much as I hope that part 5 won't take a year to be released, I kinda know in my heart it will. Either way I can't wait to see how A&J end this series!!!
