About this ebook

In this gripping and heart-wrenching story, you will meet Sean. He was raised by a hustling, well-connected mother and was taught early about street survival. When his mother is brutally murdered, Sean is thrust into a cold world all alone.

An old friend of his mother takes Sean under his wing and introduces him to a life of drug dealing at its highest level. Sean becomes "King Sean" and rises up the drug game's totem pole. King Sean makes a solid name for himself in the street game. The only weakness he has ever had is a childhood friend and also the love of his life—a beauty named Sunny.
Sunny has a struggle with drugs, and along her road to recovery, Sean falls victim to the vice as well. His life is slowly headed on a downward spiral, and his decline from street fame is filled with murder, lies, backstabbing, and a struggle to survive.

Walk on the journey with Sunny and Sean as they hit rock bottom and steal, lie, and deceive in their struggle with addiction. Someone dies . . . but not until the end is the truth unveiled.

New York Times bestseller JaQuavis Coleman pens an intricate, fast-paced street thriller that tells a bold story of true love, addiction, and murder. Read about The Day the Streets Stood Still.

Ratings and reviews

This was a very great read. Of all books by this author(and yes I read them all) this one specifically ended the best. U expected a let down as usual but this time, it ended in somewhat of a satisfying sense. Not all books have to end with everyone losing. Every now and again there should be a happy ending :-) LOVED IT

Good book not his best though...i was kinda disappointed with the ending just as i was with dirty money because i wanted to see what happened with him and bg when she revealed her pregnancy news...

I loved it! It's a great read and a really good twist in the end. The whole book flowed well and wasnt all over the place. I wouldn't mind seeing K👑ng Sean and his family in another book continuing taking over the streets
