Synopsis

Headlined by New York Times bestseller Carl Weber, three authors bring readers tales of power, greed, and ambition set in some of the country's roughest neighborhoods. "Sibling Rivalry" by Carl Weber: They say the parent's sins always fall into the children's laps. Twins Kayden and Jayden Vincent have walked in their father's kingpin shadow as two princes fighting for the same throne since they were children. Now, finally at the age where the transition is inevitable, it seems as if the twins are going head to head when it comes to everything around them. What they don't know is that the crown they are fighting for comes with its own burdens-like a past the kingpin forgot to tell them about. It's a past that, if not dealt with, will leave both men without an empire to inherit. "Love Seldom, Trust Never" by Ty Marshall: While attending his estranged father's funeral, East is approached by the legendary Ricardo Wheeler, who offers him the opportunity of a lifetime. Wheeler takes the young man under his wing, but when Wheeler's son and heir-in-waiting becomes jealous, his excessive ambition and quest for power lead to betrayal. A treacherous war is set in motion that will force the powerful legend to choose between his two sons. Anything built on a lie will eventually crumble. When no one and nothing are what they seem, who can you trust? "The Bag Is In" by Marlon PS White: Slow grinding for years, Greedy and GiGi are ready to step up their game, with a thirst to be Detroit's King and Queen of the Trap. The struggle is real, but the payoff will be major. After cashing out their middleman up front, the couple's hood dream tragically turns into a nightmare. The middleman is popped, and the infamous Mexican pipeline is broken. Greedy and GiGi devise a seemingly flawless plan to not only recoup their invested cash, but to link up with one of the most notorious cartels across the border. What seems like sunshine quickly turns to rain, however, and chaos erupts.

Goodreads review by Lisa on September 01, 2018

I really enjoyed the story written by Carl Weber and Ty Marshall but Marlon White's story was a total fail! It was a total disconnect and could've been left off. The twins in Carl's story were total opposites and then to discover there was a sister, whew! I really enjoyed that storyline. Ty Marshall......more

Goodreads review by Deedee on December 10, 2018

This was an anthology featuring 3 authors. Carl's story was kind of predictable with the evil twin vs good twin. He did throw in a few twists but he also left questions to be answered. However, I still enjoyed the story. Ty Marshall's story was the best one! His story flowed effortlessly and kept a......more

Started off so strong.. but got weaker as I progressed. Loved story 1, "Sibling Rivalry" by Carl Weber. Story 2 "Love Seldom, Trust Never" was pretty good (big fan of Ty Marshall over here!), but when it came to story 3 "The Bag is In" .. just not a fan and could not get into it. As I kept reading I......more
