I'm No Longer Mad

 Capone III by Jahquel J. 

I owe Capone an apology. I'm sorry I ever doubted him. Because he absolutely stepped up in this book. I didn't think book 1 or 2 was that slow, but compared to THIS? Those book may has well have been a turtle moving in reverse! This was one. thing. after. another. It did not stop, but it didn't feel like action for the sake of action.  In no particular order because I can't decide what's most important! We finally got some resolution on the Timmy situation and while I don't like that Jayden is the one that killed him, I understand it. I appreciate that Capone has been making him learn how to handle weapons, but also that everyone is in agreement that this life isn't for him and that he's still going to college. And when they finally got there, he called Tasha and made her listen?! That was cold blooded. Ella is still the dumbest character in the book, but I don't hate her as much as I did. Yes, a lot of their problems were her fault; she is the reason that C.J. almost got killed, all because she refused to listen and decided to take him out of Capone's house. And then this dummy had been sharing her location with Dante, who Trilla killed (his own nephew!) - all because he couldn't manage to kill a child - and then Trilla used said location sharing to break into Capone's house and attack Erin, Jayden, Jo, Ella, and C.J.; because this child isn't traumatized enough. We met two new characters: the Carters, a drag racing couple who make friends with Capri and end up helping Capone out when everyone is being chased and shot at and they need new cars. Ella and Erin make peace. Capri decides to divorce Nahiem and then he ends up in the hospital and it's real bad for him for a while, but he survives. He and Kincade aren't friends anymore but they are still able to work together. Capri and Kincade are taking things slow. Speaking of Kincade; he's crazy. Like crazy. Capone killed everyone in Trilla's family, including his mom, who was a federal judge, and then he and Kincade showed up at Trilla's house and Capone gave him two choices: 1. you use your own gun to kill yourself or 2. Kincade will slowly strangle you, but not kill you, and keep bringing you back so he can slowly remove your fingers and whatever else he wants, before killing your. Trilla picked the gun. Erin had the baby; a beautiful little girl with down syndrome they named Capri Jo and are calling CeCe. The book ends with Cappadonna getting out of prison and Capone telling him that he's tired of being in charge and he wants to spend time with his family and he's going to turn the empire over to him. Everything about this was so good. The audiobook narrators did a fabulous job. The writing had me on the edge of my seat. Cappadonna's books aren't available on hoopla or libby (yet) and it has me stressing out because I need MORE!
