Description

This book is for adults well versed in gang culture.

In fact, if you are under sixteen years of age, you’d be best to wait a couple of years before reading. Let me give an explanation for.

Even though this intense story revolves around a cast of teenagers, some as young as fourteen, the story is adult in nature. There’s swearing and violence right through. I guess it’s good to say it’s about young adults in a very adult world.

Jess’s life hasn’t turned out the way she had hoped. She’s smart and excels at school. She’s got a job, a head for business and a plan for the future. But she’s fallen into the role of caregiver and sole provider for her heroin-addicted mother and delinquent older sister Nova.

Nova holds a high-profile position in a local girl gang. Despite common sense, Jess idolizes her sister’s life. It kind of feels to be one of excitement, camaraderie and freedom, and Jess wants in. Nova’s knows that gang life isn’t for her, but Jess insists. After one explosive argument, Nova betrays Jess and leaves her to fend for herself. Jess takes her future into her own hands and joins a rival gang. It’s just what she needs, but it’s also a decision that leads her down a path of unforeseen consequences.

The rough neighborhoods of South Central L. A. erupt with violence over one blazing summer night. Two gangs, two sisters, wage war on each other. Both Jess and Nova want a way out, but who has the better plan? Only one can walk away.

This story is not for everyone, but if you like strong female characters, gang culture, and gritty street life, then there’s a good chance you’ll be able to be turning pages until the end. Here’s what readers are saying:

  • “I will thoroughly recommend it to all who enjoy a gritty crime novel and who have a strong constitution.”

  • “This violent world in which teenage girl gangs are menacing and dangerous is gripping. I actually wanted to find out who would continue to exist.”

  • “Gabel’s detail-rich world of gang culture was a fascinating read. The story will draw you in and the characters will keep you to the surprising end.”

I invite you to take a chance with this realistic look at family, friendship, betrayal and revenge through the lens of tough Los Angeles girl gangs.
