Synopsis

Markita “Kita” Jones is a young woman with the world at her fingertips. A high-school student with beauty and brains to match, she’s well on her way to Howard University. However, on her 18th birthday, she watches her dreams die during a drive-by shooting that claims the life of her brother. Overnight, Kita transforms from a naïve schoolgirl into a savvy street hustler on a mission to find her brother’s killer.

With the help of her best friends, Kenya and Alexis, Kita quickly begins making more money and more enemies than she ever could’ve imagined. As these young hustlers learn to navigate the dope game, the police start to close in on them and the stakes are raised higher than ever. Loyalty is questioned, love is tested, and someone’s actions prove to be dishonorable. They came into the game together, but will they leave the same way?

Review/thoughts

First I want to thank the publisher and author for allowing me to read this and share my honest review.

Without taking or saying too much about the story, reading this novel kept me guessing the whole way through. I felt so connected to all the characters (including the enemies) I enjoyed the way the story flowed and how each chapter I wanted to know what was going to happen next. This is a dark, gritty story set in Detroit following a young woman and her friends (Kita, Kenya, and Alexis) and how they navigate the underworld of crime and fast money.

I enjoyed India’s writing and I want to read all her books now. I’m a fan now and anyone who likes urban fiction / street lit I think they would enjoy this story.
