The Cartel

I had such high expectations for this after reading the prequels, but unfortunately this book didn't meet them.
I fell in love with Carter Diamond in those prequels, and here he dies in the very first chapter??? We barely even got to know him, since his kids immediately take over. And yeah, we have Carter junior, and I did want to read about him too, but eventually not immediately.
Maybe there's more of Carter senior sprinkled throughout the other books, but I don't feel like reading them right now, perhaps some day in the future.
On top of that, the storyline wasn't as engaging as it usually is with these authors for me. The writing bugged me too, although I can't pinpoint exactly why? Just something about it and the vibe wasn't right.
I really wanted to love this, I'm sad I didn't.

Can you clarify? Does this book pick up immediately where the prequel (part two) left off? From the reviews and the book summary, it seems like it’s a totally different time period as it speaks about Carter Sr. I want to start the Cartel series since the prequels are so good.

I hope you'll like it :)
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THIS WAS THE SERIES THAT KICKED OFF ASHLEY ANTOINETTE & JAQUAVIS COLEMAN'S ENTIRE WRITING BUSINESS!THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VIBE OF THIS BOOK. IT'S BETTER THAN ANYTHING ASH & JQC EVER HAD WRITTEN.
WITHOUT THIS BOOK & ITS 7 SEQUELS, THER WOULD NEVER HAD BEEN A THE PRADA PLAN 1-5/MOTH TO A FLAME/ETHIC/BUTTERFLY OR ANYTHING BY JQC!
THIS BOOK KICKED OFF THEIR WRITING CAREERS THUS IS THEIR ENTIRE EMPIRE!
@Stephanie; THE CARTEL CAME OUT FIRST; THE AUTHORS MADE THE PREQUELS GIVING THE BACK STORY ON CARTER DIAMOND AFTER THEY HAD RELEASED THE CARTEL. WHAT ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT?
