I loved this book. Wasn’t sure what to expect but this did not disappoint. I thought Nick was an amazing character and the twist at the end i did not see coming. I would like to read Nick and Jim’s story if it ever came out. A great read

In a world where we have Nancy Botwin, the suburban housewife in Weeds selling dope to pay her mortgage and the science professor Walter White in Breaking Bad doing likewise, we meet cubicle-dweller Evan Powers who one day up and quits office hell and joins his roommate's marijuana empire. What starts out as a cool hippie scene with bonfire parties and such morphs into something else when Nick's empire turns out to be rooted in dirty deals with scary players.

The outskirts of New Jersey set the stage for this thrilling, non-stop action novel. The main character was well-drawn. With precision accuracy, the scenes effortlessly sliced through the engaging storyline. This well-written narrative made for an excellent read.

Evan Powers lived with his roommate and best friend Nick Grady. One day, Powers called it quits with his go-nowhere job and hooked up with Nick for his new career path - growing and distributing marijuana. It was a large-scale enterprise. The author did a bang-up job with the way he presented intricate details of the marijuana industry. Just reading the novel gave me the munchies.

Before they knew it, their operation had been forcefully taken over by a group of Russian mobsters. It was like watching the big fish eat the little fish. Is there no honor among thieves? Oh, that doesn't apply here. They're not thieves; they're well-respected drug dealers, practically, leaders of the community.

Powers and Nick were backed up against a brick wall, either work for the Russian syndicate or die a slow painful death, not much of a choice. This was one partnership that would not stand the hands of time. With no further delay, they needed to come up with a plan; otherwise, their business would go up in smoke.

Ultimately, they knew it would have to come down to a final showdown. The ending failed to appear as I had predicted; it threw me a curve. I can't be right all the time! Taken by surprise, there was a devilish twist lurking just around the corner.

I extend my thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this digital copy in exchange for an unbiased review.

A good story that may disappear with the legalization but in the pages still a warning as you see how Nick goes (from small/cool/happy0 drugs to an empire of big, large, scary. Great story and if you have lived in Jersey there will be plenty to recognize
