Publisher's summary

Dontay Walker had it rough growing up in the projects with a drug-addicted mother who forced him to become a man at the young age of 15. His father was a rolling stone, having multiple children with many women. Dontay always fought for his father's attention - until taking his spot became more important than gaining his love. Now, at the age of 30, Don is the leader of one of the most successful and most feared drug organizations in the city of Philadelphia. From the outside looking in, he appears to have it all - tons of money, respect, and women falling at his feet - but it all comes with a hefty price. He meets Desire, a biracial beauty, and instantly vows to make her his queen. Unfortunately, trouble is lurking, and Desire may not be the woman she claims to be.

A war ensues with a rival drug gang, and Dontay reigns supreme, but he begins to lose the tight grip he has on his organization as he struggles to find the person responsible for leaking details of his activities to the feds. With jealousy, envy, and revenge as motives, one of his most trusted understudies moves forward with a plan of takeover that quickly leaves Dontay without the things he's worked his whole life to attain.

In this fast-paced tale of deceit, nothing is what it seems, and Dontay learns that even his own family can't be trusted.

hard to listen to

I actually did like the story but one of the narrators tried way too hard to make the person that they were representing in the story extremely ghetto and the voice was supremely irritating other than that the book was pretty good FYI it was one of the female voices

Terrible narration

I don’t normally write reviews but the narration on this was awful. Sometime the characters would sound “surprised” or “happy” in situations that didn’t call for that type of voice. I also didn’t like that there were multiple Narrators for the different characters.

just as the reviews say

I wanted to listen to this myself because sometimes reviews are mixed but not this one... I dont like the narrators the men were ok, the story itself wasn't strong or believable enough to get into it. hope the 4th is better

uugghhh

I didn't like the story,I didn't like the voices..So far I've really only been satisfied with the 1st book..but I'm omw 2 the next. lol

Performance

The performers were horrible!!! They sound like the was reading straight off the page. This is the worst one out of the series so far.

Too short

I enjoyed the story but it ended to quickly. I can't wait to see what Weber does to tie the series together...

it's ok

That sounds like Paula Jai Parker narrating. I'm sorry but one of those female voices is so irritating. I'll finish listening because of her and the man playing Dantes voice.

Annoying Voices

The Story was just Everywhere.. and The Voices were quite annoying and Whiney. This needs to be Done over.

Too much sex

this book Jest was way too heavy in sex couldn't even get into the plot because of all of the sex

Kingpin series

Yes, the book was hard to follow, but I understood the storyline! Could use new narrators!!! A couple narrators I’ve heard in other books…so they’ve grown! I’m a Carl Weber fan no matter what he writes!!! I love the Kingpin Series!
