Publisher's summary

The port of Miami brings in millions of dollars worth of cocaine every year, and the Cartel controls 80 percent of it. The Diamond family is a force to be reckoned with, but all hell breaks loose when they lose their leader. The most ruthless gangster Miami has ever seen, Carter Diamond, leaves behind a wife, twin sons, a daughter, and a secret - his illegitimate son, Carter Jones. When young Carter learns of his father’s death, he comes to town and is introduced to the legacy of the Cartel.

Miamor is a woman who uses her beauty to enhance her skill as a contract killer. She is the leader of the Murder Mamas. When her crew is hired to take down the Cartel, they slip up, and Miamor loses her sister in the process. She is determined to get revenge. Unknowingly, she meets the son of Carter Diamond - and he immediately catches her heart. She is sleeping with the enemy, and when she finds out, she is torn between love and revenge.

Young Carter and Miamor lead two different lifestyles. They are on opposing teams, and when their worlds collide, the truth will be unveiled in an unpredictable ending.

About the authors: Ashley & JaQuavis are the New York Times best-selling duo responsible for the popular Cartel series. They live in Flint, Michigan, where they are working on future projects.

AWESOME AGAIN

Would you listen to The Cartel again? Why?

Man, I would listen a thousand times. Great story and keeps me on edge. I listen on my way to work everyday and I can't wait to get into the car. Cary I like your performance but the female voices...ummm not so much. Maimor sounds like a man...hint hint. You all may want to consider a female for the female voices. But great story.

Great listen from start to finish

Great listen from start to finish. Story kept me intrigued and on edge. Character development was on point. Narrator did an awesome job, he is very talented. I just hate the way he sounded doing the characters screams lol. It made me laugh at some of the serious scenes. I wish I would have listened to this book a long time ago.

How it all started

Diamonds are forever !!! Carter Jr inherited a bunch of problems that he didn’t deserve. Family is everything though which is why I love this series. Make sure y’all start from the beginning unlike me lol because this series is amazing

Why??

Cary's shrills and change in voice is soooooo annoying! His shrieks are likened to nails on a chalkboard. I hate that he's the narrator on the upcoming books in the series. Please have this man tone it down if you plan to use him again.
