Rating: 4 out of 5

****Review might contain spoilers so beware****UnBeloved is not my most favorite out of the bunch but hot nuggets was it still really really good.If you are expecting this story to be like the rest, let me tell you right now that you are not going to get it with UnBe. This story is not filled with drama like the rest in the series. There is no love triangle. It's not fast paced. It's not action packed but there are some moments that will leave you grasping your kindle for dear life. Certain characters will surprise the heck out of you, in a good and bad way. Some brothers seek to live a better life, by trying to right the wrongs that they have done while others dig their own grave even deeper.UnBeloved, in my eyes, is way more mature than UnD, UnB and UnA because the characters are much older. We already got a glimpse of their crazy younger days in the other series (mostly Jase and Dorothy & yes, we do go back in time and catch more of how they meet and such) so I am glad that Madeline decided to write this book how it is. It's the calm before we hit the storm, ZZ's story. We all know that his book is going to be one hell of a ride. How could it not be with the shit he has done? And jus wait until you read **********!!!! It was crazy. Crazy good. But before we get his story, we get Preachers story. Yes, he is getting his own story.One thing that I absolutely love is how Madeline ages her characters. We started this wild ride of a series with the characters being young/younger and for me, even though I know it's all fiction, it's makes their stories seem real. Makes the characters seem real. It adds life to the story.My favorite parts:"You should stop by the club and see me sometime." he said....."I...I'm married.""Baby, I ain't tryin' to marry you." ***translation: I just want to f*ck you.***"He's talkin' 'bout you f*ckin' his daughter," he whispered loudly. "We weren't supposed to do that, dude, and you didn't listen""Yeah, that's her. Roly-poly b*tch. F*cked her in the a$$ the other day and, get this, she sh*t all over me. I'm talkin', this wasn't no little mess. This was Niagra f*ckin' Falls pourin' outta her a$$.""Haven't been with a woman my own age since.....""F*cker, you ain't never been with a woman your own age."Preacher spread his arms out wide in an apologetic gesture and shrugged, "There you have it.""Wait," Blue said, "You mean to tell me, you're not Mexican?"
