This story is an urban fiction/street lit. You step into the arena with the Carter family. A group of siblings and cousins who have now taken over the reigns of a family empire that they are making their own. There is money, murder and mayhem oh my.
Character Breakdown
Amayiah- She is the babygirl of the family. Their most loved and prized possesion. She runs their legal businesses and has the role of mother and wife down to a science. She is non-confrontational and the one the famil tries to shield from all of the ugliness in the illegal things the family does although she is part of the business by birthright. She has secrets that only her and her husband share
Rashawn- He is not a carter by blood but by loyalty. He was adopted into the family in his youth and met the love of his life. He is the plug and is the brains and the means behind their succesful drug faction. He is a doting father as well as a well rounded husband. He is a fierce protector of his "My baby". He is a young savage whose heart beats for his family.
Goon- She is the problem solver. When shit gets hard you can call her the equalizer. She is the manifestation of a bad night that sets her on a warpath. She is also the Carters secret weapon although the family doesn't know her true identity
Story from my perspective
You meet Amayiah and Rashawn and you automatically think "Goals". She is the beauty to his beast. He is savage as fuck and all he wants is to keep his family safe and secure the bag. From the beginning you can tell that Rashawn is his wifes protector and he promised her years before that he would never leave her out in the world alone and he has kept that promise with a fierce determination.
Amayiah has been through some things not even her family knows but her husband is her best friend and they share no secrets. After experiencing a trajedy at a young age. It makes life seem just a little to hard to live. It makes her a shell of her former self and her dreams change with its harsh reality. She relives the night again and again and when it just wont stop. She collapses into herself whenever life gets to hard. Through her husband she remains grounded. He is her anchor. When it gets dark for her he is her light even though the darkness somethimes becomes all consuming.
When, the family is faced with a threat they enlist the help of Goon to start the process of eliminating their enemies. The family does not know who "Goon" is they are onlt connected through a third party. They impressed with Goons work and want to bring them on permanently to handle all their dirty work. This makes Rashawn nervous because he is the only one who knows Goons identity and knows that that type of revelation will break the family and cause chaos and expose the one person in the world to scrutiny and judgement and he promised to protect them. Even if it puts his loyalty in question with the Fam.
Goon is the sadistic thing nightmares are made of. She has no loyalty to anything but her cause and that is seeking revenge for a young girl whose innocence was taken. Each job she takes is like retribution. Her victims are all "Takers" and that just won't work for her. Her name rings bells in these streets because her torture methods are efficent and she gets sick satisfaction out watching her victims squirm. She also can find anybody the only thing is Rashawn won't let her be great. She tries make him understand that Amayiah is his only concern and no matter how much he tries to show her cares she needs him to understand she is loyal only to herself and her only goal in life is to make these men "Pay" so fuck love and feelings.
Rashawn finds himself caught between two worlds. He knows if the fam were to find out he would never be forgiven. But whats a man to do when he loves two women that are both the best parts of him?
This book has so many twists and turns and you are probably think this mam on some good bullshit. I can tell you honestly you will have to read it to understand this triad. I enjoyed how this new author came out the gate swinging. The Carter Family is full of secrets and when revelations come to light will they be able to stand tall or will they falter.
