Branch Avenue Boys, Book 2

By: Shelly Ellis

Narrated by: Alan Ryder

Book 2 in the Branch Avenue Boys series

Success didn't come easy for three best friends from the streets. And now dangerous choices and reckless desire will push their bond to lethal limits....

A stint at the Branch Avenue Boys' Youth Institute taught Ricky, Derrick, and Jamal to unite when the going got tough. But fallout from their very different adult lives is making loyalty something they can't afford - and igniting drama they never saw coming....

Arrested during a city-wide raid, Ricky must inform on DC's drug kingpin, Dolla Dolla - and find the woman who loved and betrayed him. But revenge is a slippery slope that's putting a target on his back....

Institute head Derrick hopes reuniting with his fiancee will keep his secret affair with a colleague in the past. Unfortunately, one of his students is hiding Dolla Dolla's major stash - and Derrick's attempt to do the right thing will have shattering consequences....

Jamal's backroom deal with DC's corrupt mayor is giving him everything he thought he wanted: money, power, and women. But murder and the unexpected return of the woman he's always loved is getting him in way over his head. His attempts to manage the damage will put him and his friends at killer odds to be the last man standing....

Pretty Good

I think it was better than the first one as far as being lengthy for no reason. This one was much better. Great story on street life, careers, friendships, and relationships.

Love it

I enjoyed this book because it kept my interest and it made me want to keep on listening. Now I am ready for the last book in this series and my membership renewal is in 2 days. I am willing to pay extra money so I can hear more of this story.

AMAZING!

I love this series! I can't wait until the next one comes out this year!

Hiding from the mob

I enjoyed the narrator. He had so much expression to his voice. The story line was sad. These were good men but they got into some serious crime. It was very hard for them to leave it. People was getting killed and they was trying to servive.This book is a sequel to the first one. It is a enjoyable book.

Ricky

Ricky, Jamal, and Derek are just full of surprises. I really hope Jamal and Derek work out their friendship. I’m not going to spoil it. Just know I’m really enjoying this book series!!!
