Publisher Description
Tracy Brown crafts a tale about a master manipulator and serial survivor, who will scorch earth to get what she wants. The question isn’t who murdered her; the question is who wouldn’t?
Brooklyn Melody James has finally gotten the punishment she deserves after leaving a web of lies, heartache, and betrayal behind her. As her life slips away, Brooklyn remembers the events that shaped her into the cold, calculating creature she became.
Brooklyn learned the art of hustling from her parents who used the church to get money. Idolizing her father and despising her mother, Brooklyn’s determined to be the type of woman who makes her own rules. When her back’s up against the wall, she sacrifices her family, takes the burnt offering that remains, and runs away. In NYC, young Brooklyn charms her way into the inner circle of hustlers and stick-up kids, learning tricks along the way. She catches the eye of a major player in the drug game, Hassan, and they have a breathless love affair. Brooklyn becomes integrated into his operation, earning the trust of Hassan and his associates. But when she gets the keys to the kingdom, driven by unfettered ambition and a ruthless desire to survive, Brooklyn snatches the pot of gold, leaving bitter retribution promises behind her.
From DC to Maryland, Brooklyn burns bridges and breaks hearts. What she doesn't realize is that someone is prepared to end her reign of terror. As she faces her killer and her fate, Brooklyn’s stunned that justice comes from the least likely place.

Great read
I originally DNF’d this book but came back to read it again. Starts off a little but really picks up by the second chapter.
This book was very disappointing
The story had so much potential to be amazing, something very close the works of Sister Souljah, but the writing was subpar. For one, every conversation lacked any depth the dialogue was always quick with short sentences or just quick back and forth. Also the story seemed rushed. It would slow down for maybe a month or week of the main characters life then just speed up again giving us unfulfilling details of what happened in the time prior. Her story just felt incomplete through and through. Wouldn’t recommend especially for anyone over the ages of 16 or so.
Good book
