SO GOOD!! There was never a dull moment and the twist at the end was the cherry on top!

No stars and no words for this urban fantasy. I will never read another JaQuavis Coleman book again.

I always look forward to books by Jaquavis Coleman/Ashley Antoinette/Ashley Jaquavis/etc.
This one was not as good a read for me as most of their others.
At least until, Basil's killing spree.
I do need them to know that Strange Fruit is sung by Billie Holiday. Not Nina Simone.
An iconic song about the lynching of Black people and the songstress is wrong?
OK... Also the part with the Haitian gunmen? So "dreadlocks and deeply dark skin" are "strong Haitian features"? Hmmm...
At any rate, it's fine. 2.5 stars.
Basil's craziness at the end along with Fat Rat's actions and Basils moms revelation made it worthwhile.

Yo! The kingpin Kane isn’t somebody you play with but at the end it was crazy though. Between Basil and Moriah. I need to know what happened next! We will never know. Are they sibling or no? Will Basil ever find out? It was a good read.

My review in 6 words: The rise and fall is real!
One thing I will always appreciate is a true story...it deserves 5 stars off that alone in my opinion. From the very beginning, this book hooks you! It seems like every chapter you learn something new and it twists and turns until the las chapter. You are literally on an emotional rollercoaster with Basil and aka e trying to figure out who is for you and against you...but one thing is for sure: the Streets Have mo King, only placeholders.
