Not Like Us E. Nigma
Although this book is not my normal genre of books, I loved it. I think this book expertly showed how too much money isn’t always a good thing and it shows the things people will do and the lengths they will go to to hold on to their money and the power and prestige that come with being respected or feared in the community. I wish we could have gotten more background on our MMC Caleb and JP; why did the get into the street life anyway? But other than that this was a fantastic read and a good way to start my 2025!!
