This book was good. At first I was like I can't really get into this book but after I realized that I need to broaden my horizons and give the book a chance I was really hooked. This is a different kind of story about a different kind of Thug!
Mallory and his brothers Marek, Marc and Marlon are straight out of some gothic fire and brimstone like stuff. However, the book keeps you wanting more from beginning to end. Mallory is the missing link that has been cast away by his father…

I am scared of you.
Not because you're beautiful.
It's because you have something that interests me.
And that is mystery.
See, my past is what it is- history!
Because you are my future.
You got something that a sistah like me ain't used to.

I call you confident when others call you conceited.
I call you strong when others call you weak.
Just because you…
