The plot

It took me a moment to get past some of the brash language, but once I did, the storyline and overall plot were executed very smoothly. The narrative kept me engaged, and I’m definitely interested in reading the sequel.

The way I clinched an could see the story coming to life..

Like this book ending clutch. Checking to see if it’s a #2 book as I write.

Great story line

I Love all of Rasheed books, great stories. I hate that they all end like they’re leading to a part 2 but none of them have sequels.
