Read it!

Carmello was not a typical choice for me, but I was happily surprised when I read it because the story and characters have life in them. Carmello is one of those books that goes by so fast while you're reading it, at the end of the last page you are a little disappointed that it's all over.

Great Story Line

I absolutely loved this book . I thought this urban fiction was going to be like the rest ,but it was a breath of fresh air . Just when I thought the drama was over it was another twist to the story, which kept me on pins and needles. I will recommend this book to anyone who loves urban Drama. Kudos to the author !!

Outstanding Read!

Loved it!

Carmello Deen wants nothing more than to live life on the straight and narrow. His brother Caine and sister China have other ideas. Wanting to restake their family claim in the drug game, Carmello reluctantly leads them back into the fast life. Of course it doesn't come without risks, and in the end the Deen family pays dearly. Again. Carmello has to make a decision. Stay in the game or get out. Not since The Coldest Winter...
