Praise

This was an awesome read. I'm a HUGE crime reader so this was a change of pace for me and I was not disappointed at ALL. The characters and the story line are realistic. I plowed thru the first book in a day or so and quickly finished the second book. If you're looking for a realistic love story this is something you should give a try!

This book here is so good 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I mean I wanted to throw my damn phone at times. This book will hit home for some because we tend to be blinded by love and just go with the motions you will have to read to understand my statement. Keontry is something else I almost I feel bad for him. Then we have Nova like all the signs were there but the sexual relationship clouded her judgement. Ginger she just crazy. I can’t wait for what’s gonna happen next. I hope it’s not who I think got hurt. Grab you a copy because this book is so good.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is the perfect read-aloud for littles. Take it outside and read it at the park or inside during mealtime. Really any time is good!
The author creates plenty of opportunities for kiddos to recognize all the colors that surround them!
