Publisher's summary

K’wan delivers his bloodiest story yet.

“One bullet changed everything.”

Three years after narrowly escaping a one way trip to the gas chamber, the fugitive known only as Animal finds himself drawn back to the scene of the crime: Harlem.

Throughout his entire time in exile, the only thing that kept Animal going was the thought that he would one day be reunited with his soul mate, Gucci - but one bullet changed everything. When his enemies tried to murder Gucci, they crossed the line, so he vowed to cross them all.

While Gucci teeters between life and death, Animal sets out on a bloody mission fueled by love and orchestrated by bullets. There will be no more innocents. Alliances are formed and secrets uncovered while Animal wages his personal war on the streets of Harlem, with the end result revealing one great truth: he is only a small piece in a much larger puzzle.

About the author: K’wan is the number one Essence best-selling author of Section 8, Gutter, Still Hood, Hood Rat, Eve, Hoodlum, Street Dreams, Gangsta, Road Dawgz, and others. He has been featured in Time, New York Press, King, Big News, and on MTV.

HOOKED!

I loved this book! Definitely exceeded my expectations. My most memorable moment would probably have to be when Alonzo realizes that Ashanti is truly ride or die for the people he loves no ifs, ands, or buts he's there, and I loved that. The narrator was amazing! My first time reading an audible book and I wasn't sure how it would work with one person but he proved it, and he proved it well!!

LOVE ANIMAL!

I’m so glad Animal has his own series! I was hoping he would do a bit more punishing, but nevertheless it was a good listen.

Gritty and fast paced

I read the prequel that tells Animal’s story first and I’m glad I did; it gives a back story that makes this one, the official first in the series, more interesting. The narration is excellent.

Raw and Animalistic!

This is an awesome book! The detail of each character is so lively! Cary Hite makes each character seem so real and K'wan makes sure you are left wanting to know more about each of them. After listening to this piece I was completely hooked. Animal's passion for Gucci was animalistic to say the least. Animal's survival was epic and I wanted him to be her hero. But not only is Animal able to overcome but his friends prove to be the most loyal in the jungle streets of the city. Bravo!

good book

a good book but not totally satisfied with the narrator. This type of story needs a more urban touch. I will get book 2 though.
