Review

Murder was loyalty and honor. I would hire him.
This is a good read for me. Loved it!

Reality of the Mind

Hearing the story about the Murder Mama's and how they came about was very interesting listen. The thing I liked the most was how the author portrayed Miamor and how the challenge in her childhood turned her into the murder that she became.
If you have ever held a gun in the face of danger then you know the thought process that occurs before pulling a trigger, either shoot or be shot. Most people would hesitate before just shooting but sometime that last thought is the difference between life and death. The scene that I remember the most was the situation where Miamor almost died at the hands of one of her targets.
My favorite character in the book was Murder and how he loved two women that happened to be sisters but because of his loyalty to Anissa he didn't give into his minds urges. The major theme in this book to me was LOYALTY and that's what makes the book a great one because it shows so many different approaches to the theme by the characters (either they were loyal or disloyal), it also shows that you can't underestimate people and also helps the readers realize people are never who they portray to be. The true reality of the book is what blows me away and left me speechless that's why I gave it 3 stars. You won't believe this one.

Oh MY GOD! WOW

Would you consider the audio edition of The Cartel 2: Tale of the Murda Mamas to be better than the print version?

I have not experienced the text version (I so don't have time in my schedule right now for actually sitting with a book in hand) but this was phenomenal!

What did you like best about this story?

The twists and turns, the truth of it, the way I could relate to it was amazing. I no devil or angel but I have been through things in my life and come from places that made this book so believable for me.

What does Cary Hite bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He was awesome, he is consistent in the way he portrays the characters and although having a variation of narrators is cool he is a great voice over actor.

If you could rename The Cartel 2: Tale of the Murda Mamas, what would you call it?

I would call it, It Was All a Dream after a Biggie song lyric LOL

Any additional comments?

This book had me about to cry so many times it's crazy, I gasped like I was actually watching a movie, and I cannot wait to buy the next book, or 2 LOL.

It was all a dream

Definitely want to read more. Getting to know Miamor’s character more has me routing for her survival and Carter’s love. I can’t wait to read more to see where this story goes. This book had me feeling all kinds of emotions and hopefully book three will redeem itself. There are still some secrets and skeletons that Mecca has that need to be revealed and I’m hoping the will be revealed soon.

OMG!!

what a freaking twist! Can believe it was all made up! So was her childhood real?

G.O.A.T

Greatest of all Greatness. I've beyond enjoyed by far the first 2 of th series

It was all a dream

This book was nice thanks for tricking me. I thought everything was really happening it but turned out to be a dream. Definitely headed over to the cartel 3 to see what really happened to Miamor

Great!!!

Great Great Great! I love it! Just keep it coming with the shenanigans. Great read
