The clock is ticking and the pressure is on for him to save someone that he loves. A Kingpin and a God must reunite and come together before everything he worked for comes crashing down.

Book Review - I found this series thanks to the Hoover series. I appreciated getting some of the backstories on Gangsta and Paradise. It was interesting to see that Paradise lost control of the monster she helped to bring nurture and neither knew how to get a hint of his humanity back. The story moved quickly so much so that it glossed over some events that I wanted details on and yet I found myself skimming some parts. A running theme I see in this crossover world is the humor infused into each storyline. It helps to break up the viciousness of some of the characters. I am on to Phantom's series.
