About this ebook

In this electrifying novel, New York Times bestselling author and “an important voice in American literature” (Jada Pinkett Smith) Sister Souljah returns to the story of her beloved character, Midnight.

Handsome, young, Muslim, and married to two women living in one house along with his mother, Umma, and sister, Naja: can Midnight manage all that he has on his plate? He is surrounded by Americans who don’t share or understand his faith or culture, and adults who are offended by his maturity, intelligence, and his natural ability to make his hard work turn into real money. He is calm, confident, and cool, Ninja-trained and powerful, but one moment of rage throws this Brooklyn youth into a dark world of dirty police, gangs, guns, drugs, prisons, and dangerous inmates. Everything he ever believed, every dollar he ever earned, and all of the women he ever loved—including his mother—are at risk.

Will his manhood be taken, broken, or altered? Can he maintain his faith? Outnumbered, overruled, and deeply envied—how can he possibly survive? Will the streets convert him? What can he keep? What must he lose?

Ratings and reviews

The book was slow, drawn out, and read like a science fiction fantasy novel. The storyline was disorganized and did not appear realistic. I loooove all of her other books this one not at all. Could not wait for it to be over. I'm wondering how many of the other reviewers actually read the book or are they just going off title or author name recognition. Pass this book up unless checking it out from the library!

I'm such a big fan of yours but this book left me so confused. In " The Coldest Winter Ever", wasn't Midnight raped in jail? According to the letters that the both of you wrote back and forth that Winter stole out of your file cabinet? In Porsha's story, an Asian wife was Never mentioned and Chiasa also doesn't seem like the wife that was described. Just curious to how all of these things will tie together. Anyway, keep writing. Still a great fan. I've bought and read All. Now my daughters are reading them

Talk about milking a dead cow! I didn't read this book, I barely made it past the "gangster love story" I will never again spend another penny on this series. She should've picked back up with Winter being released and her life post gangster princess. That I would read gladly!
