Gabriel Reid has led a life of good luck. From a loving family, well educated, and now quite wealthy, he holds an important office in a prominent Atlanta construction company. But good fortune doesn't always last. Isaiah Battle arrives from the slums of Chicago, where he grew up in poverty, surviving by his wits and a hidden inner power. Isaiah is Gabriel's half-brother, and now he wants to claim the life he believes is rightfully his. The stage is set for an epic battle between brothers: a battle that will leave only one man standing.

Loved It!!!!

I could not stop listening. It has become one of my top five.

A Day Out of My Life

The story is too incredible. All the way to the unbearable ending. The best part of the book was the reader, but he made the female voices as that of a gay male affect or stereotypical black female which was offensive. Pay extra and hire a female reader too next time.

I liked the story

What I disliked was not having individual chapters. To confusing if you lost your place

Great listen

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! I wanted to know what was going to happen next. It was a shocker.

Gets distracted

This book goes off track a few times. The story line goes into much detail about the surroundings. It is like a hard to hollow movie. Jumps back and forth a lot.

pretty good

The mind thing was a little hard to swallow. The ending was really good.

Lots of crazy twists

This book was something else. I did enjoy it. I didn't really read what it was about before I started listening so I had no idea what to expect and was not really sure where it was going at first. It kept my attention once it started all making sense.

The reader though....irked me so bad. The swallowing and long swallowing between sentences at times was very annoying and the breathing. I couldn't ignore it. Never had this in any other book I've listened to.

I liked it

I can't understand why he came at Gabriel instead of coming at his father I mean he's father was the one who messed with his mama. Smh jealousy is a mother I tell you. But this was a good book I listen to it on audible but I do prefer reading a book because I can understand it better. Dude who is the narrator made it funny though. Lol but the ending part where he made dude leave was dumb like what man gone let another man make them leave while with there women smh what a loser. But what was funny was when he told the girl that he rather do push-ups then mess with her again that's so wrong . I can tell I don't like Isaiah but he's hilarious. But what weird is Gabriel and Isaiah having dreams and visions etc about each other . Only thing I don't understand is to me it feels like this story is missing something. It was good though. And the ending where they found out they were twins were a shocker to me. And even though Isaiah made me sick it sucked that he died. Then Gabe had twins. Lol like wow but I don't know why I thought Isaiah was gone pop up somewhere lol. But I understand why Isiah felt that way because he assume his father didn't want him I think it'll been better if they told them they were twins to begin with.

I also thought it was predictable...

It's an ok book but it never answered the question about Isaiah's life and death experience, it didn't change him only made him worse. I also don't condone this book essentially saying you can do bad things, not repent and still end up in heaven? I grudgingly recommend this audiobook.

A lot of twist and turns

I really enjoyed the story. So much so that I could hardly stop listening to it.
The only thing I found distracting was the narration. It seemed that the narrator had a breathing issue, like a sinus condition or something similar because he took deep long breaths between sentences. I was eventually able to get past this issue by trying not to focus on it. I only kept listening because the story was so intriguing.
It was noticeable, but I told myself that I was being petty lol. After all he probably couldn’t help himself.
