Special thanks to the author & @flatiron_books for my gifted copy and @macmillan.audio for my gifted ALC‼️

Talk about a plot within a plot within a plot twist. Yet again Cosby gave it with King of Ashes. This was like The Godfather meets New Jack City with the high-stake crime, brutal violence, dark themes, the gripping suspense, unpredictable plot, and the undeniable truth that danger could be lurking around any corner. 

From start to finish this book will have you hooked. Things get intense from the moment Roman arrives in town ready to risk it all to protect his family. Even if it means he has to repay a debt he doesn’t owe and could be killed in the process. I felt like every chapter and situation added an edge to the storyline. 

You got the BBB wreaking havoc on the streets, Roman being the neighborhood hero striking a deal with the cruelest OG of them all Torrent, major things going down in the crematorium, Dante continuing to make one bad decision after another, and Neveah’s driven curiosity will leave relationships broken. There’s so much to take in and unpack with this we need a movie already‼️

Overall, I loved the book it’s so worth reading. Every turn of events will leave you wanting more as the stakes continue to rise. The way Cosby portrayed and developed each of the characters it’s so easy to envision and relate to them all. And the narrator as always did a phenomenal job with the audio. If you’re a fan of action-packed gritty Southern crime fiction I highly recommend this book.
