The Cartel by Ashley Antoinette
1.0
For all the violence, sex and poor-decisions, this book was boring af.
Updated Jan. 26, 2022: Downgraded back to one-star because fuck urban lit. You don't get stars for doing the bare minimum.
Updated Aug. 21, 2021: I bumped the rating up a star. Reading [b:Loving My Wife and Her Sister Too|57490302|Loving My Wife and Her Sister Too|Lady Lissa|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1616419905l/57490302._SY75_.jpg|90023341] made me realize I was too hard on this book. While I'm still mad about the cliff-hanger (and the colorism ... and the xenophobia), I will give this book its due. There's A plot, (most of) the characters feel like real people and the story spends time developing their relationships and conflicts. It still isn't my vibe, but it wasn't as bad as I initially said.
