"The environment in which a person lives in can often determine the path they take. This is true for many people growing up in urban ghettos around the world. It's proved itself true for the four very different but similar young ladies in this story as well. Each of them, facing their own demons at home find themselves in life or death situations that lead to life changing decisions.
Meet Blaque Daniels the 17-year-old, nonchalant math whiz with a fetish for knives and an abusive daddy who will go to any lengths to break her down.
And Frankie "Fe Fe" Donnovan a 19-year-old, pre-op transexual with a smart mouth, the body and face of a goddess, and hands like a prized fighter.
Next there's Rose St. Clair, a 18-year-old black, white, and Irish mixed quiet girl with a natural nac for computers and the mind of a business woman.
Finally there's Trouble Walker the oldest of the bunch, a 20-year-old bad ass who fears nothing, is loyal to a fault and is a natural leader. She doesn't care about anything but money, power, and respect.
All of these girls live in the same neighborhood but really have no ties to each other besides their struggles. When the volitile situations in all of their lives erupt at one time, the girls find themselves in jail on murder chargers and are given a choice. Do life in prison or channel all of the bad attributes their environment has given them and become paid killers. Come on this turbulent thrill ride through the eyes of each girl and find out which path they choose and whether or not your environment can truly influence your future!"

My Thoughts...
This was quite a read for me in being a true urban fiction read...so be ready! It seems like every one of the main characters from Blaque, Frankie [FeFe], Rose to Trouble were all over their head in some kind of trouble and they sought to take care of it in one way or another. It was quite a read how at the end how each of the stories seemed to connect with all of the suspense that came from each individual challenges and hardships. The ending was quite different in that it ended in a cliffhanger leaving you having to pick up part 2 to see was was coming next of these four people. I am sure more answers to many of my questions will come out because I was really wondering what in the world was going to happen with and to these four people as one can see from the read each one has quite a hard road ahead of them in their present situation.
