About this ebook

The only family Eve Panelli has ever known is the infamous Twenty Gang. Orphaned as a small child, Eve quickly learned the art of the hustle, and by age seventeen she had spent two years in prison. But now Eve is eighteen, back on the streets of Harlem with her gang and up to one of her old tricks: strong-arm robbery. Despite her edge, she's got a soft spot for Felon, the up-and-coming street king.

Eve's life takes a serious turn when the powerful DeNardi family, the city's biggest drug supplier, tries to tighten its hold on Harlem. And when Eve's best friend, Cassidy, is murdered in the crossfire, Eve seeks revenge—starting all the way at the top.

Ratings and reviews

This book dragged on for hundreds of pages. It was also poorly written. The chapters just went on and on. It was horrible. The chapters would be about one thing and then just jumped into another. Don't waste your money like I did

Everything was predictable. I liked how Eve took care of Beast in the end tho. Idk why all the novels have to end in such tragedy. We like happy endings too. Felon should have survived. If Butter is still alive, we need another part. For the person that said the scenes and people kept switching.. well duhh, it's like a movie. K'wan books are not for amateurs. Anyways, my pre-order has arrived. On to diamonds and pearls part 2

A very good read..as to be expected from K'wan. The ending was bitter sweet but u cant have your cake and eat it too i guess!
