Moth to a Flame by Ashley Antoinette

2.0

I tried to read this book twice and never got past Ch. 3 until recently. I was in a reading funk and needed a mindless plot to help me. Well I’ll give it two stars for that reason alone. I’m definitely ready to read something of substance now. Baby….this book was basura! I’m sorry. I really tried to like it but it was filled with conflicting things. My biggest issue was the lack of consistency in these “BIG TIME” dealers. I use big time loosely bc they were moving like dudes on the corner and not BOSSES. Forgive my language below:

Ch 1-3 took FOREVER to get through. Her family failed her. I don’t know any damn drug dealers who don’t put their kids on GAME! Even if they don’t want them in the life…they still make sure they kids are up on GAME b/c of the life they live…don’t ask me how I know.

Raven is stupid

How does she not see that her dad was being set up after Mizan left the drugs behind
Why didn’t she call ethic after her mom got arrested?
What fbi agents are watching her dad BUT not following up on his death and connecting dots.
How was she involved in a horrific crime with Nikki BUT not further questioned by police?
The next damn day she lets her dad in the house that a horrific crime occurred at and there is no proof that this crime occurred??
Her dad didn’t know about Nikki the next damn day? How did all of this occur in a small time period and not ONE damn person know a damn thing.

She don’t have a cell phone..it’s 2010
Why do y’all like Ethic? He ain’t shit either.
Why is she not abreast to being weary of all people? Sis, you just left an abusive relationship w/ a drug dealer who was at dinner with his potential connect. Did you even tell Ethic this? You know he a snake sis, he not sitting in jail forever. He a snitch boo. Ethic don’t have his ears to the streets?? Wtf type of top dog is he supposed to be?

Mushroom shaped head? Lmao that’s a new one

So all y’all are street savvy but not one person can communicate?
I feel like sis gonna die.
So the nurse said she called other contacts and Ethic, who is Soooo smart, didn’t ask any questions? These people clearly don’t know a damn thing. There’s no way these people are big time this and that but miss key factors
