“Money can't fix it and love can't tame it. Push it down deep and it rots you from the inside out. Give in to it and you end up doing five years in some hellhole. I once saw my Daddy beat a man half to death with a bar stool over the man's wife. What Javon did ain't really his fault. Violence is a Montage family tradition."

Not my usual genre, got this one from a guy on TikTok. Very fast paced, good read. Lots of the car stuff went over my head lol

This book is an exciting and thrilling read, perfect for fans of crime novels and thrillers. From the very first chapter, it grabs your attention and never lets go. Beauregard Montage, also known as Bug, is a man caught between his past and future, with two conflicting identities. His story is full of action and drama, making you feel the tough realities he faces. It’s so good that it deserves all the stars! This book would make a fantastic action movie—Hollywood should definitely pick it up!
