It's hard for me to rate this book. It took me forever to read it because I felt like it's the same ole hood story that I've read over and over again. It had action, I can't take that away from the book but... I dont know... something was left to be desired. I'm giving it 4 stars because the action was interesting... but all the drama in between... all the deaths... just seemed like overkill to me. I couldnt sympathize with Miamor's plight because she created the mess in the first place. Quite a bit of all the horribleness that happened was her fault and I can't get behind a character who refuses to own up to her mistakes. Had she not been trying to kill people in The Cartel in the first place, no one would have offed her loved one. Did she truly expect to try to kill someone and they not retaliate? That's stupid. And it's business, it's not personal. Any person apart of organized crime knows this. She messed with too many people's lives trying to get revenge for something she set into motion. And the fact that she never realizes this in the book makes me feel like there is no pay off. I'm not really interested in the next book or the third for that matter. I can pretty much predict what's going to happen. Obviously Carter is going to be pretty angry at Mecca and the drama will start there... Zyir will probably spend his time trying to get Breeze back and then a war with Ma'tee will ensue. So... hmm... no... dont really need to read the next two books. I am interested, however, how this will play out if they make this book into a movie, which I hear they may do.

Also, I may be slightly interested in what may happen with Leena and her baby along with Polo.

Final rating: 4 Stars
