Product Description
Synopsis
A searing novel of ambition, betrayal and murder - the master of street fiction is back. She's beautiful, self-assured: coveted by men, feared by women, beholden to no-one. She's one of the deadliest women ever to grace the streets of Harlem - her name is Eve. The only family Eve Panelli has ever known is the infamous Twenty-Gang. Orphaned as a small child, Eve quickly found her own hustle. By the age of 17, she had already spent two years of her life in prison. Now, at 18, she's back with the Twenty-Gang - and it's not long before she is up to one of her old tricks. Strong-arm robbery. She's also got her eye on Felon, the 'hood's up-and-coming street king. Eve's life takes a serious turn when the DeNardis, one of the most powerful street families and the city's largest supplier of narcotics, try to tighten their hold on Harlem. And when Eve's best friend is murdered in the crossfire, she goes out for revenge - starting all the way up at the top.

The Baddest Chick!!!!!
21 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
Eve Panelli is a young hustler that backs down for no one. Since the loss of her parents at an early age, the only family Eve has is her crew the infamous Twenty gang. With two years of prison already under her belt, Eve is now eighteen and back on the streets of Harlem getting money the best way she knows how :strong-arm robbery. In the midst of all of this, she has some strong feelings for her longtime friend and hustler Felon that she doesn't know how to express. But things are not the same on the Harlem streets since Eve has been away. The number one drug supplier the dominant DeNardi family is trying to solidify its presence on these streets through Felon, his right hand man Butter and their crew. Felon and Butter are on top of the world and plan to stay there. But Butter's resentment toward the DeNardi family and his cowboy antics may lead them down a deadly and dangerous road. Things get ugly when Eve's best friend and crime partner Cassidy is killed in the crossfire of this drug war. Eve vows to get revenge and won't let anybody step in her way. She has to not only avenge the death of her best friend, but also the death of her own parents. When the smoke clears, will Eve succeed or will this be a deadly mistake?
Eve is an incredible novel by K'wan. K'wan once again brought a fast-paced storyline that showed the gritty violence of the hustling game. This author showed great creativity in developing the main character Eve and her crew Twenty gang. K'wan showed that even while doing dirt in the streets, Eve was still a woman that can have a softer side. What I liked most about this novel is that Eve was not the average sleep with men for money type female hustler. She was getting her money in the most dangerous way possible with strong-arm robbery. By tapping into the female psyche, K'wan made Eve a believable character which is a true testament to this author's talent. Eve is a riveting, chilling, page-turner that grabs you and won't let go. K'wan once again brought a widely entertaining novel that will satisfy his fans and will gain new ones. With Eve, K'wan proves why he is one of the best urban fiction authors of today and in the years to come.

Not his best work
9 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback
I've read mostly all of K'wan's book and unfortunately this is not his best work; the story line dragged and was all over the place. I am very disappointed that I've wasted $10 (e-book). I'm in the process of reading Streat Dreams and unfortunately I am going to repeat this review (another $10). K'wan please get an editor to review your work prior to putting it out. Very disapointing when a person spends his/her hard earn dollars to purchase your book to read numerous typos.
