The Cartel 3: The Last Chapter Mass Market Paperback – February 4, 2014

Kept me on my toes as if I was watching a movie. Enjoy the movie.. ... ... ..I mean book! 😅

This book had me on the edge of my seat until the last page. I finished this book in between an 8 hour job and just 1 hour at home. At first after reading the prologue of the book I thought all Hell everyone died. And of course everyone does die, except Carter, Murder and the 2 Murder Mamas (which are enough characters for another book: hint)The great part of the book were the highs and lows of every character that eventually led up to their deaths. Poor Breeze just could not catch a break in her life. I would have loved to see Breeze and Zyir with a better outcome, but I'm not the writer. I also felt like Miamor died WAY TOO SOON. Her and Mecca should have had a fight to their death at the end. I was disappointed that Murder's character was not conniving enough to infiltrate the Cartel. He claimed the be the person that taught Mia everything that she knew, but he couldn't even get his foot in the door. As a matter of fact, he didn't kill anyone. All in all I LOVED the outcome and the bittersweet ending, even with Mecca realizing his mistakes in the end. I loved the book because it lived up to the quote "You live by the gun, you die by the gun". It would have been too good to be true if everyone of the characters in the book had a happy ending. I would recommend this book to Everyone because despite the things that I envisioned to be different I damn near did not want to put the book down. Thanks again Ashley and JaQuavis for a great read!

Suspense, thriller, family, loyalty, and deceit. This books as the others in this series is hard to put down. Clear your schedule.

I’m on edge with this book, I can’t put it down.. so interesting 🤨 this is one of my best book. The Author did a fantastic work, I make sure I write all the series ❤️

Do not even know where to begin. So I'll go by character:Miamor: It is clearly known that I never cared for Miamor's character. Oh, she help make the story great, but she played a major part in the Cartel's demise and the riff between blood. Look at it like this, what if Mecca did confess to killing Monroe and the truce was not broken, Miamor still would have gotten at Carter and his family for her sister's demise despite her guilty role in it. So, I am I happy that the book opened how it did? Hell yeah!Breeze: My heart goes out to her. She paid the worst toll for her family sin seeing that she was so innocent.Zyir: Could not help but love and admire him. I could respect that he is flesh and would fall into the devil's trap that is Illiana. But what upsets me is that after finding Breeze, and Carter putting him up on Illiana's jealousy, he still let her be around Breeze. Come on now.Mecca: From the beginning I could not stand Mecca's demeanor and did boarder line hate him when he killed Monroe despite understanding how it could happen. Let us be real, if in Mecca's situation and witnessing what he did, would you be able to just show Monroe love? Please! But Mecca was a coward because he did not own up to it and helped in the demise of the rest of his family. However, in this finale I fell in love with this new Mecca and as you get to the end it made sense the drastic change in him.Carter: Despite still being in love with him, Carter's character was my biggest disappointment. His love for Miamor I admire and despise. To see a love so deep is beautiful but after finding out what her plans were for him and his family and still have that burning hate for his brother who saved his life is the saddest. On top of that, he never found out why Mecca killed Monroe. He talked about disloyalty, but Monroe crossed a line that should have never been crossed. While murder surpasses Monroe's betrayal, Mecca deserved redemption for it considering the circumstances. Hell, if Leena could forgive...? Therefore, Carter was seen as the weakest because Miamor clouded his judgment and I hate him for killing Mecca even after he saw the change in his brother. He is just as guilty as Mecca for bringing death to a sibling.Over all, I thoroughly enjoyed the finale. Way better than Miamor's own, you know I love to hate the chick. The booked had me going and could not put it down (finished in less than 24 hours). I knew the lovey dovey happy ending is not Ashley and Jaquavis style so I was sitting baffled for a minute, but ultimately I am not surprised at the ending.Couple of things though, what is going to happen with Leena and baby Monroe, how will Leena take Mecca's death, I would of love the demise of Roybn (hated her more than Miamor) what is going to happen between Murder and Carter and will Carter feel any remorse after finding out about Leena and Monroe?

Mecca was a minace to society, he caused a tidal way of destruction to everyone, although he was justified in protecting himself against the Murder Mammas. Breeze suffered the most living and surviving 3 types of hell. But Carter still stands a true Boss im waiting to read more about him especially since Murder is still lurking

All I can say for this series was WOW!!!!! I actually read all three books in about 10 hrs. I couldn't put it down and then had to read the next until I read each and every one. I was hoping for a better closing as it was the last chapter and all but as all great books I was left with some questions. Why did Carter wait so long to avenge Miamore's death? How in the hell did Murder and Illiana find out they were still alive? and the most important question what the hell happened to Young Carter? Leaving those questions aside it was a great book. I really felt as though I was watching a movie with twist and turns that you could never guess. Ashely and JaQuavis are geniuses and have done it again with this book, its fast-paced, keeps on your toes, and just when you think you've figured it out your wrong. It's and worth every penny and a must read.

ANYONE WHO SAYS THIS BOOK IS DISAPPOINTING, WAS PROBABLY EXPECTING THE AUTHORS TO WRITE AN ENDING SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY HAD IN THEIR MIND. IF THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED THEN YOU WOULD HAVE SAID THE BOOK WAS TOO PREDICTABLE. WAS I EXPECTING THINGS TO HAPPEN TO MIAMOR THE WAY THEY DID? NO. WAS I EXPECTING THE BOOK TO END THE WAY THAT IT DID? NO. THAT IS PART OF THE REASON WHY THIS BOOK WAS SO GREAT. YOU DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. I ENJOYED EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER. EACH ONE OF THEM WERE NECESSARY AND WELL DEVELOPED. I ESPECIALLY LOVED CARTER. HIS SEXINESS JUST OOZED OFF THE PAGES. IT WAS OFTEN SAID THAT HE WAS SO MUCH LIKE HIS FATHER, CARTER SR. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEEN HIM IN ACTION. ALSO, THE LOVE THAT ZYIR HAD FOR BREEZE WAS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL AND INTENSE. AND FINALLY, WHILE I DID NOT AGREE WITH EVERYTHING MECCA DID, I UNDERSTOOD HIS HATE FOR MIAMOR.
