Publisher's summary

"If angels wear Vicki's and the devil wears Prada, I guess I was a taste of heaven & hell back then, because King had completely turned daddy's little angel into a hell of a rider...."

My name is Kennedy Desiree Carter. I met the love of my life, Damion "King" Carter, five years ago. Back then, you would not have been able to convince me of the way that he would change my life, in good ways and bad. I was a good girl; on my way to college with a high GPA and big dreams of becoming a child psychologist. Yet, as soon as I met King, I also dreamed of being the best rider that any street nigga had ever seen. I was a good girl with a bad boy fetish, and King was the ultimate bad boy that came to love me in ways that I had never felt before.

They say ride or die is the highest level of loyalty that you will find in a person, and King had found that in me; even though it eventually meant my own suffering. Yet, the suffering never fazed me because I knew that we loved each other. Some would say too much, and I couldn't argue with that because loving him sent me to a place that I thought I would never be, all because he put his trust in the wrong people.

Every dope boy needs to realize that sometimes the realest person on his team is his girl, and King found that out the hard way.

Different narrators need to tell the story

The voices didn't match the story. The female was too proper. And the guy sounded older. The narrators who read Savage should have done this book.

I loved the story but maybe there was a glitch in my system. My stories kept jumping and wasn’t complete.

Great read

Loved it! I really liked the story and the characters in the book. Loyalty is something big for me and this book touches on it a few times. If you like those urban street stories, this is a good read. I recommend this book.

Not a fan of female voices

Great story line but I just don’t care for the voices of Kennedy, Siren or Jada. They sound forced, like they’re trying to be hard. Especially when they say nigga...need a more ethnic voice for these roles. Otherwise great book!

Kennedy and King

This book started off good. Kennedy took those years in prison for her man. King 👑 seem to really love 💘 Kennedy. That little kala is a spoiled little 👧girl. Now for Merch and Siren, I wanted Merch to forgive Siren, until book two. Jada truly loved her man Dolla and the crew. She is very loyal. I hope she is happy in the other books. As far as the narrator Miranda, just no. Girl you do not have the right voice for this series. Overall the book is excellent😊
