Loved the True to the Game Trilogy!! I can not believe it ended!!
2.5 stars. I think there were one too many subplots to this book. Qua being alive? OK. Fine. Maybe implausible. Maybe not. But Terrell (twin to Jerrell) popping up and raping everyone in his quest to find Gena, crooked cops, Qua's brief romance with Amelia (the doctor that saved him)... There was a lot going on. Then Qua had a daughter. It took me years to read parts II and III to this series. But somehow I don't remember that. What happened to the crooked cops? I couldn't stand Gena's twin cousins. Too obnoxious. The first one will always be the best.
I gave this 3 stars because the novel is just average. Woods relies heavily on police scenes (which he does in several of her novels) and I just did it so awkward and so unnecessary. This novel ends the story of Quadir & Gena - thankfully, I certainly could not handle another True to the Game book. Woods brings in way too many characters, the most aggravating being Jerrell's unknown-until-this-book-was-released twin Terrell who had a negative impact on Quadir's childhood. Woods' description of Terrell's "satisfaction" before and during the rapes of two female characters is quite absurd and really unbelievable. Moreover, Quadir's completely unrealistic "return" from his demise is so stupid. Amelia was a decent character and I believe Woods could have written a much better novel without the crooked cops and the FBI & Internal Affairs officers -- it was just way too much. If you're looking to get a quick interesting urban lit novel from Teri Woods I recommend "True to the Game Book 1" because the others are her failed attempts at re-writing a great street lit tale.
EH, didn't really like this book. To me it was a filler book. Something to end it? I guess it was supposed to have a purpose but it didn't. I don't like that dead ppl keep coming back!
Waited so long to read this ever since I devoured book 1 & 2. But, this book was eh. Really didn't measure up to the other two. I'm just glad it tied it altogether nicely and I finally got my answers haha. I do recommend this series, plot twists were very appreciated!
