Worth the read

Story was good enjoyed the book. I heard people complain about performance before however, I did not experience that was bad, till now. I just realize how important the narrator is to a book on audible.

Way too short

I am upset the story wasn't longer. I've purchased almost every book you both have written together and separately. I love this genre of books.

Diamond legacy

This story was a great way to show how the Diamond legacy started. It was a perfect fix for a Cartel junkie like me!

Carter Diamond

Carter was a man of morals and stood on business! I can’t help but to think Loso set them up ! I can’t wait to see what’s next. Cary Hite did a great job bringing this story to life!
