True to the Game III by Teri Woods

3.0

---

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.
