Story4.5 out of 5 stars 156
From the time he was a boy in Georgia, LC Duncan, patriarch and leader of the Duncan clan, has battled racism. Even now that he and his family are truly successful, the racism can still be in-your-face. Maybe it's the political climate or perhaps it's just bad timing, but LC and the rest of the Duncans are being challenged by the ultimate power-hungry racist, Sheriff KD Shrugs.

A stint at the Branch Avenue Boys' Youth Institute taught Ricky, Derrick, and Jamal to unite when the going got tough. But fallout from their very different adult lives is making loyalty something they can't afford - and igniting drama they never saw coming. Arrested during a city-wide raid, Ricky must inform on DC's drug kingpin, Dolla Dolla - and find the woman who loved and betrayed him. Institute head Derrick hopes reuniting with his fiancee will keep his secret affair with a colleague in the past. And Jamal has a backroom deal with DC's corrupt mayor.

Welcome to Detroit, Michigan, home of the grittiest, illest, most hardcore, crime-infested, poverty-stricken neighborhoods in the country. It's sometimes referred to as the Murder Capital because of the huge murder rate that never ceases to surprise us, the Murder Mitten, or the Dirty Glove because of the state's shape on the US map.

- By I M A LISTENER on 02-11-20
Publisher's Summary
Three best friends from the streets found success--in very different ways. But with a crisis detonating around them, their bond could also destroy everything they care about....
No matter how tough the odds, Ricky, Derrick, and Jamal learned to unite and fight during their time at the Branch Avenue Boys' Youth Institute. But their adult lives have driven them apart - and set off a series of events their friendship may not survive.
All Jamal's political achievements can't erase his bargain with DC's corrupt mayor. And when he finds himself the latest target on Mayor Johnson's hit list, he'll risk everything to end the mayor's deadly reign - even if it's the last move he ever makes.
Institute head Derrick refuses to cave to DC drug king pin Dolla Dolla and sell out all he believes in. But his courageous stand might cost him the Institute - and the woman he loves....
With a pregnant girlfriend, Ricky can't stay on the run forever. Now he's making a dangerous play to win. But with Derrick and Jamal in Dolla's sights, Ricky and his friends must resolve the conflicts keeping them apart if they want to come back together - even if that means none of the Branch Avenue Boys will be left standing....

Music to my ears!
I can't believe this is the last book! I have loved this entire ride and this narrator has been perfect from JUMP.
I thoroughly enjoyed the final chapter of the Branch Avenue Boys series! I’ve been pacing since the end of book two, on pins and needles waiting to hear what happens to Jamal, Derek and Ricky… and most importantly, the Mayor and Dolla Dolla. To say this ending was fitting and satisfying is to seriously short change the ending installment to this series. Simply perfect.
Shelly Ellis writes delicious drama, realistic and nuanced characters in a vivid setting… I plan to re-read all three books now that the series is over. Already can’t wait for the next offering from this author.

This was a really good series, though I wanted Dolla Dolla dead immediately, he worked my reserved nerve. So many variables in the entire story, but ultimately very enjoyable. I have laughed and cried throughout the series.
