I have been waiting so impatiently for this fourth book in this series, and it did NOT disappoint. I tore through this book in one setting, greedily taking in every word, and when it was done I did a dance, made a little noise and went to bed grinning ear to ear.
Brandy Alexander, puff piece reporter and trouble magnet, stumbles upon a teenage girl in the streets, bleeding profusely. She rides in the ambulance with the girl and just cant get her out of her mind. Along comes Crystal, a smart mouthed teenager from the streets with a heart as big as the chip on her shoulder. Brandy finds herself discovering a side of Philly, a side of life she never could imagine. Of course, being Brandy, she soon finds herself in the center of something much bigger, and much more dangerous than she expected.
Luckily, Nick Santiago is back. Nick, the delicious bad boy who in the past books has stolen Brandys heart (not to mention mine) and in the last book handed it back to her, is still willing to step in and help Brandy whenever and wherever; which only leaves Brandy loving and wanting him more.
I can not say enough about this series and about this book. I laughed, I cried, it inspired hoots and a little arse shaking dance. They just keep getting better. This is one of those books that when you are done, you just want to grab the first book and re-read the entire series. Theyre like comfort food for the soul.
Highly recommended!

Brandy is minding her own business when a girl stumbles and collapses against her car. She gets rushed to the hospital & late dies with no identity as a homeless teen. Brandy is heartbroken and approached by another homeless girl Crystal who's friend Star is missing. Delving into the underworld of homeless and throw away teens is a subculture Brandy knows nothing about. Alphonso and Nick step into help as Brandy is threatened by pimps and street punks. Finding more than she bargained for in her search for Star has Brandy on a deadly path that uncovers and links dead teens apparently dying of overdoses. Nothing is what is seems as she gets in deep. In between all of the investigating she needs to pull off a baby shower for Fran who is so wanting to pop her baby out, examine her relationship with Nick, & comes to terms with Bobby. All in a days work if she lives that long
