This series will take you through all of the emotions. The good, bad and ugly. Thought provoking. You will question the way you feel about these characters and their actions. Are they right, are they wrong and are they redeemable and what makes them so or not. This is a reread for me and I'm enjoying it even more this time around. Ashley Antoinette is a beast.

Update (10/23): originally read this in 2018?2019? I love it more this go around even with the violence on page. It kept me engaged. Ashley's writing & page had gotten better as well. And who does love Ethic?!

WHAT A WILD MF'ING RIDE THAT BOOK WAS!! I need #2 immediately! I'm on my way right now to hoopla. So all the CWs & TWs! Especially for murder, death of a child and drugs. That's about all I can fix my fingers to say since I just finished this book a few moments ago...
