Dirty Music (2020)
(Crescent Crew, book 4)
Shaun Sinclair
"Shaun Sinclair taps into the new code and DNA of black and urban life in America, where there’s one foot in the rap game and another foot still out in the mean and hungry streets of capitalism."
The Case Manager (2017)
(Shattered Lives, book 1)
Latoya Chandler
"The Case Manager, by Latoya Chandler will open your eyes to how truly ugly this real world can be."
Secret Society (2006)
(Secret Society, book 1)
Miasha
"Miasha writes with the fatal stroke of a butcher knife. This book is raw material. Squeamish readers beware. You want proof? Just read the first page."
