Book Description
There are two roads to take on this journey called Life. The right way, which is summed up at times as “The Good Life.” On the other hand, some people take a left which is “The Street Life.” A lot of young niggas take this route not always because they want to, but because that’s the only road in the middle of nowhere. America was built on the same. Come ups that are considered crimes today. Fraud, Robbery, Murder and Grand larceny. The problem is the youth is more up front with the truth, too much exposure can effect an entire generation. That can make life crazy. The unbelievable is always reality. The unpredictable is always anticipated. Funny thing is only a selected few realize what they see is only an illusion, what they need is always confused with what they want. Priority is always confused with “I’ll do it eventually.” If only we could see are mistakes for what they are. No one is perfect, Do to our creator, but if there was a such thing as an equal perfect would the world still be kaotic with envy and hatred? Of course, nothing has changed. It’s still a war being waged amongst one another everyday. Individuals don’t think individually they let others control their mind because they are weak minded. They are controlled, by people around them, almost like a child that depends on you to feed them whatever you give them, they are trusting you to give them something to fulfill their hunger. They eat it without question or suspicion just like the people that you surround yourself with. They feed you whatever they think you mind will eat. If you let them, they will feed you whatever they went. Whether its lies, the truth, or entertainment; whatever to fulfill the satisfaction of acceptance.

Book Description
You can't go home again... But apparently Kimmer Reed had to. The government had hidden a young computer mastermind who held the key to the country's defense right in Kimmer's hometown. Now, if the Hunter Agency's top operative hoped to keep the government's secrets safe, she had to cozy up to the people she'd once left behind to discover just what the bad guys knew. And the good guys, too. Because mastermind Caroline Carlsen had a self-appointed bodyguard in her cousin Rio Carlsen. Ex-CIA Rio might have made a good ally--if Kimmer had been allowed to tell him they were on the same team. Instead, she had to shadow his every move, watching while he walked comfortably in a world that had been lost to her. A world of family and connection. A world Kimmer would do anything to regain.
