Resumen del Editor

Tracy Brown crafts a tale about a master manipulator and serial survivor who will scorch earth to get what she wants. The question isn’t who murdered her; the question is who wouldn’t?

Brooklyn Melody James has finally gotten the punishment she deserves after leaving a web of lies, heartache, and betrayal behind her. As her life slips away, Brooklyn remembers the events that shaped her into the cold, calculating creature she became.

Brooklyn learned the art of hustling from her parents. who used the church to get money. Idolizing her father and despising her mother, Brooklyn’s determined to be the type of woman who makes her own rules. When her back’s up against the wall, she sacrifices her family, takes the burnt offering that remains, and runs away. In NYC, young Brooklyn charms her way into the inner circle of hustlers and stick-up kids, learning tricks along the way. She catches the eye of a major player in the drug game, Hassan, and they have a breathless love affair. Brooklyn becomes integrated into his operation, earning the trust of Hassan and his associates. But when she gets the keys to the kingdom, driven by unfettered ambition and a ruthless desire to survive, Brooklyn snatches the pot of gold, leaving bitter retribution promises behind her.

From DC to Maryland, Brooklyn burns bridges and breaks hearts. What she doesn't realize is that someone is prepared to end her reign of terror. As she faces her killer and her fate, Brooklyn’s stunned that justice comes from the least likely place.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Brown’s latest morality tale (posthumously published) is high drama and fast-paced, with a focus on family and survival at all costs…written in a confessional style that readers will relish.”—Booklist

"The entire experience with Brooklyn kept me absolutely riveted...This was a definite five-star read."—Chick Lit Central

The book

I will definitely miss reading Tracy Brown's book. This book was definitely a good one.

Not the best, not the worst, but horrible ending

I didn't like the ending. It felt like a cliffhanger. I didn't mins the narrator. I supposed because I never been to New York, and unsure of their accent. I guess it was an OK book but I was expecting more after reading the reviews.

Brooklyn 2

R.I.P. Tracy Brown I was so engaged in the story from start to finish, the ending of this story made you want more. I’m sorry that it’s not possible. I would recommend this book.

Tale Old As Time

Young girl falls for the fast life fast money . The drug dealer.

I hates everything about this book.
I didn't know the author passed away till I started listening. RIP.

The whole story so triggering. The mother not be leaving her own daughter.

The father is supposed to be a pastor but is a liar and a cheat.

Here's the trigger part the relationship with her sister that was me and my sister and my sister just passed away last year in May.

Being raised in the church I knew that life .

The whole gay storyline.

You couldn't cheer for the girl you knew from the start she was dead.

The other triggering part was I took a girlfriend in who was down on her luck once and I knew exactly what was going to happen there.

To me the whole drug gang aspect they would have just killed her then.

I just canceled Audible and this was my last credit and I really wanted a good book I pre-ordered it find out the other died and then the book was just trash.

The story

Great story, great performance, should be made into a movie or play. Author has passed away and now will go back and reading her older stuff.

Horrible ending

The horrible accents, not sure what type of accent the reader was speaking but surely wasn’t NY or Maryland accents

Great story telling! very interesting story, kept me engaged constantly

I hated the narrator's voice as every character. It was too much and also way too obvious. that made it a little harder to enjoy the audio version

Good story

The story was good but the narrator"s accents for the characters were not well done.

Good book but the narrator..

Ugh this book was pretty good. I almost didn't finish because the narrator drove me nuts! The accents were horrible and it wasn't just because they didn't sound NY or Maryland.... they would of sounded terrible no matter where they would of been from just based in the tone alone ... phew that's how bad it was my first few lines of the review are just about the narrator....#facepalm

The story itself was pretty good. Like others I feel like the ending was a cliff hanger and not enough for a whole part two but could of used a few e extra chapters but I'm just glad Tracey Brown was able to finish this enough to put it out here for us to enjoy.

New York accents stand out

Super fast moving story, high drama in a prosperous Black church and it’s secretive connection to the local drug trade
