This is one of the few books that I stopped reading before I was finished (at about 20%) so I won't comment much on the story or the quality of the writing.  I was so uncomfortable with the racial putdown language that I had to stop.  Yes, this language may be appropriate to the black drug culture (I really don't know this for a fact), but I don't want to immerse myself in it.This book is written from multiple points of view that would have been difficult to track if not for the chapter headings. Also, I did like that the main "good guy" Tyrig didn't excuse Myeisha for making the bad choices driven by her history. By the time I stopped reading, she had already murdered two people but claimed she wanted out of the drug culture to live a normal life.  So she is a conflicted antagonist.
