— Candice, 1/22/2014" I hold urban fiction to a lower standard than your general fiction books. To me they are fun little escapes that I switch to whenever everything else is just too much. Usually Ashley & JaQuavis are head and shoulders above other urban fiction writers when it comes to plot continum and editing. The first Cartel book is still one of my favorite stories, urban fiction or otherwise. However, in this outing I felt let down. The whole, everyone comes back from the dead, or wasn't really dead in the first place storyline was just plain silly. How many times can you kill off and revive the same characters? It didn't help that I know that the plane crash in the end was just another way to kill the boys and yet in The Cartel 5 they'll be back and it'll all be an elaborate hoax to keep the feds off their case. Another issue that bothered me throughout this story is Monroe Jr. Based on the fact Monroe Sr. had been in a coma for 5 years, the child would have to be at LEAST 4 years old. Yet he is continuously referred to as "the baby" and treated as such. If you didn't put the math together you would think he was a toddler. It's a small detail but for me those type of details matter when I'm expected to withold belief over and over again. "
— Jenee, 1/18/2014" So this book did redeem the authors from Cartel 3. I have to say it was a good filler book and I read it during my work week in two days. I love when I can do that! Can't wait for Cartel 5 to come out. "
