About this listen
"If angels wear Vicki's and the devil wears Prada, I guess I was a taste of heaven & hell back then, because King had completely turned daddy's little angel into a hell of a rider...."
My name is Kennedy Desiree Carter. I met the love of my life, Damion "King" Carter, five years ago. Back then, you would not have been able to convince me of the way that he would change my life, in good ways and bad. I was a good girl; on my way to college with a high GPA and big dreams of becoming a child psychologist. Yet, as soon as I met King, I also dreamed of being the best rider that any street nigga had ever seen. I was a good girl with a bad boy fetish, and King was the ultimate bad boy that came to love me in ways that I had never felt before.
They say ride or die is the highest level of loyalty that you will find in a person, and King had found that in me; even though it eventually meant my own suffering. Yet, the suffering never fazed me because I knew that we loved each other. Some would say too much, and I couldn't argue with that because loving him sent me to a place that I thought I would never be, all because he put his trust in the wrong people.
Every dope boy needs to realize that sometimes the realest person on his team is his girl, and King found that out the hard way.

True never guessed that life would be this hard. Being only 25 years old, she should have been being wild, reckless, and having fun, not fighting the hardest battle of her life, alongside a husband who no longer loved her. After their divorce, True wanted to be free and enjoy every day. Falling in love was not in the plan. She most definitely hadn't foreseen falling in love with an arrogant, womanizing hustler like Coop. Yet, she did. However, as soon as True tells him all her truth, he'll revert back to that unbearable goon that wreaked havoc on the streets of Chicago.

Law grew up in the trenches. Hustling since the age of 12, his focus was making life better for his mother and brother.

Yet upon seeing her, Zuri pulled something out of Law that was foreign to him. Though he had been with his girlfriend, Whitney, for a long, exhausting decade, he had never experienced a woman taking his heart so mercilessly.

Story
True never guessed that life would be this hard. Being only 25 years old, she should have been being wild, reckless, and having fun, not fighting the hardest battle of her life, alongside a husband who no longer loved her. After their divorce, True wanted to be free and enjoy every day. Falling in love was not in the plan. She most definitely hadn't foreseen falling in love with an arrogant, womanizing hustler like Coop. Yet, she did. However, as soon as True tells him all her truth, he'll revert back to that unbearable goon that wreaked havoc on the streets of Chicago.

A tragic beginning to life led Jah and Shauka Disciple to homelessness and poverty at such a young age that they grew into men before their time. Yet, they turned their hunger, abandonment, and suffering into diamonds, mansions, and power. The natural hustler instinct they’d inherited from their father was their driving force. Yet, this story starts when Messiah turns 18 and is finally freed from his adoptive parents. Reluctantly, he leaves his twin sister behind as he, Jah, and Shauka run the streets and break yearning hearts along the way.

Not a fan of female voices
Great story line but I just don’t care for the voices of Kennedy, Siren or Jada. They sound forced, like they’re trying to be hard. Especially when they say nigga...need a more ethnic voice for these roles. Otherwise great book!

Kennedy and King
This book started off good. Kennedy took those years in prison for her man. King 👑 seem to really love 💘 Kennedy. That little kala is a spoiled little 👧girl. Now for Merch and Siren, I wanted Merch to forgive Siren, until book two. Jada truly loved her man Dolla and the crew. She is very loyal. I hope she is happy in the other books. As far as the narrator Miranda, just no. Girl you do not have the right voice for this series. Overall the book is excellent😊

Good story but...
I enjoyed the story. However, the female narrator was HORRIBLE. Her voice sounds as though she should be narrating Sweet Valley High or something like that. I felt myself being triggered hearing her say the N word. She was a bad choice for this story & this genre of books.
