    About this audiobook

    Kiki Swinson's "tension-packed" (Library Journal) and "unrelenting" (Publishers Weekly), bestselling novels deliver startling twists, unforgettable characters-and a stark, unforgettable portrait of life in the South. Now she detonates an explosive tale about a couple who can't get enough-and a risk that will exact a merciless price. Nobody will get hurt: Dawn and Reese Spencer just can't get ahead. Between her desperate desire to start a family and his gambling debts, they barely keep afloat, even with well-paying Norfolk International port jobs. But their calculating co-worker has the perfect plan: help him smuggle containers of precious, illegal-human-cargo past U.S. Customs. Nobody will know: For Dawn, risking the innocent lives of undocumented immigrants is unthinkable. But Reese persuades her that no one will get hurt. And once things proceed without a hitch and a fortune starts rolling in, the Spencers are sure their dreams are about to come true. Nobody will live to tell: Until several immigrants turn up dead on arrival. Until Reese bets more than he can ever repay. Now the Feds and cold-blooded loan sharks are closing in.as the real brains behind the operation start killing off loose ends. And between love, lies, and revenge, it's every betrayer for themselves-no matter how lethal the cost.

      Fans of Kiki Swinson will likely hate this review. I’ve never read any of her other works but I did not enjoy this book. I couldn’t connect with any of the characters. They were either naive, insecure, or just downright dumb. To be fair, I probably would have enjoyed this book when I was in my 20s and urban lit was really hitting the scene. As a middle-aged mother of 2 young black boys, I really struggled with Dawn and Reese’s decisions and actions. As for the writing, the word choice felt odd and out of place. This was a NetGalley advanced reader’s copy.
