Listen… this was my first Aubreè read and babyyyy, consider me a fan for life!

Naji wanna leave the streets alone but can’t keep his eyes—or his heart—off Syrenna. And Syrenna? Whew. She was raised like the first-born son, not the delicate little flower she looks like or like her father likes to pretend she is. Sis is out here duckin’ and dodgin’ love like it's gunfire, ready to shoot her way out of anything that sirs feelings or seems too real. But you know how it goes—the heart gon’ heart regardless.

This book had everything! A little love, a little lust, whole lotta drama, some unaliving (yup), betrayal, secrets on secrets… but what really hit was the sisterhood vibe and that ride-or-die mama who would throw hands with anybody, even the Don, for her daughters. I was HERE for all of it.

Now, I didn’t read the other books tied to this fam before jumping in, honestly I didn't check to see...the cover is what snagged my attention but it still flowed smooth for me. Only thing? There were a few typos here and there that had me side-eyein’, but it didn’t kill the overall vibe. I rocked with the characters and loved how Aubreè brought their story to life. I'm definitely tryna see what else she got cookin’.
