Publisher's summary

In the world of the Cartel, there are many pitfalls and family curses. In the city of Miami, the good die young and the bad live forever. The first family of Miami, the Diamonds, are back and more ruthless than ever. When the family has to deal with the sins of the father, karma comes back and rests on the shoulders of Carter “CJ” Jones II. The life his father never wanted for him calls him, and the allure of family tradition sucks him in so deep that he falls victim to the game. This story shows the second coming of a king and solidifies the cartel family tree in the roots of the streets forever.

Ride with a new regime as Carter II and his cousin Mo attempt to carry the legacy of their fathers on their shoulders. Will the city respect them? Or have the ghosts of the past been erased by a new wave of hustlers? Miami was forever changed when Carter and Miamor came to town. Can the Cartel ever regain their strength or was their fall from power too devastating to repair?

Ashley & JaQuavis dive into their franchise series once more and give their fans a taste of classic urban storytelling.

Love the Narrator

Read the series and this is the first time listening to the books on audible. I was really impressed with the narrator. I looked at some of the other reviews, and I think it's cool that he's on Broadway. Nice to see black authors getting black talent that has experience with acting and performing. Anyway, I'll definitely keep an eye out for the next in the series or figure out the next book the narrator is working on :)

Old narrator VS. New

I like the old narrator better. The narrator of this book should work on his delivery and acting more. He was alright, but not the best. You could feel the old narrator's soul and passion in his reading.

It was good for a new saga

This book was good. They should’ve played more on certain things and less on others. Could’ve lived without the graphic sex of a minor. What seemed to be a major part of the storyline is over before it began. They seemed to have forgot that they said Moe and Carter were left an inheritance because they kept referring to things as if they were broke and had to get in the streets. Gotta remember what you’re writing. Over all it was a good book. I hope they finish the stories started here and not take 5 years for the next book. 😂
