CONCEPTOne thing I love about Eros is that he brings something different with each book.  In Budussy, he explored the family structure as well as the college environment.  In Kingdoms of Sodom and Gomorrah, he explored biblical royalty.Here we are presented with elaborate crime fiction interweaved with a special dose of erotica as only Eros can bring it.STORYI love the way that this piece of crime fiction is explored from all angles.  The reader is presented the perspective of the law enforcement, the evil boss, the hoodlums he is after, as well as all innocent parties in between.A strong lesson that can be learned from this story is that loved ones can sometimes get caught in the crossfire.CHARACTERSI found myself rooting for many of the characters and was fairly disappointed when many were met an unfortunate end.  Nevertheless, it gave it a more realistic sense.The degree of mystery and frustration that each character experienced in the very beginning is actually what pulled me into the story, eager to see how the plot would further unfold.  It was obvious very early on that this wouldn't be your typical street fiction.DIALOGUEThe dialogue within this story has serious strength.  The cops and detectives talk just as they do CSI and Law and Order.Hans talks like a character from the Godfather.And JoJo, Brad, and Lawaun talk like characters from Friday.Great job on giving each character proper dialect.STRUCTUREThe structure of the story is well executed, so much so that I almost felt like I was getting three stories for the price of one.I saw many points where the author could have broken it up and spanned it out into a series of books, and I am very happy that he chose to leave it as single purchase.OVERALLOverall, I found this to be an enjoyable read with several shocking plot twists featured towards the end, and I would highly recommend this book to someone else.Jerrice Owens, Future Bestselling Authors
