About this listen
Jewel is young and beautiful, and with several hustles under her belt, she's all about making money. This doesn't leave much time for friends, but she'll always make time for Touch, the local hustler. He's been her friend since grammar school, when they made a lifelong pact to look out for each other. Lucky for them, their promise has never been put to the test - until now.
When Michael Burroughs arrives on the scene from LA, he floods the East Coast with top-notch product and quickly earns his title as the California Connection - "Calico" for short. He's also a smooth brotha with a knack for getting whatever he wants out of women then tossing them to the side. When he meets Jewel, sparks fly, and things quickly spin out of control.
Touch knows how Calico operates and doesn't want to watch his friend get used and abused. Little does he know, he doesn't have to worry about her because Jewel has a few tricks of her own. When Calico shows his true colors, Jewel knows just how to get revenge. Will her plans backfire, or will she be the last woman standing?

Remy Morgan, a young girl born and raised in the heart of the ghetto, gets caught up in the life when she meets a drug lord who offers her the world. Young and naive, she is trapped in a game of lies, deception, and greed and learns the hard way that everything that glitters ain't gold. After her love is slain, Remy is forced back into the life that she desperately tried to forget. Remy has kept a diary of her life for the past two years. What she writes inside is a tale of love, passion, money, and secrecy - and ultimately a witness to her tragic end.

I love this book. Who would have thought that Jewels and Touch bond would have gone from just friends to the king & queen of the VA streets. But just like they say, all good things must come to an end

Okay! That was good!
I didn’t know what to expect when I decided to listen to this book, but I was hooked from the beginning. The way iiKane skillfully gives the characters their own voice and personalities is everything. Her narration really sells the story. This story of full of deceit, betrayal, lies, fast money and getting over. Not one part of it was boring and it was definitely entertaining. I would recommend it. That cliff hanger though. I’m definitely reading the next book.

2.5 ok listen
Okay listen-the description of the characters didn't really match with how they were presented. soooo hmmm I'll only give random observations of the primary characters.
jewel came across as a simple minded braggart for 95% of the book. A far cry from the gangtress she called herself at one point. We never saw evidence of her gaming men,.except for calico sending her 3k. However, that was not her gaming him that was him gaming her to use her and her place to do what he needed.
Sasha was simple and desperate. This was displayed perfectly with the 100K scenario. You get a 100K and all you are going to do his buy material things and not add to it. She still didn't realize the hatred she put on Jewel was her on self-hatred of lack of hustle.
Calico-He's not the "boss" that he was portrayed to be. He's the "supplier" in Cali and VA?But 150K has you in a drought. If I read/hear supplier, I think millions or damn near close to that amount. Maybe that's just me.
Touch-a laidback guy with the heart of a savage. hmm didn't see it, but maybe that'll come out in book 2. The books end definitely didn't help show him as that with his wanting to boast about his come up with Jewel.
