Synopsis: Behind the beautiful facade of every city there’s always drugs and violence; the stuff the politicians wanted to keep hidden from the public eye. Cleveland, Ohio was no different and that's why the city had been labeled as one of the deadliest cities to live in and King, Damien, and Bennett had contributed to the cause over the years. They’re the leaders of the infamous KDB gang, that originated and operated out of Cleveland and extended down the East Coast.

​Over the years, KDB had been labeled as being untouchable, but that was because their leaders were playing chess while everyone else around them were playing checkers. They used politicians, judges, detectives, and whomever else they needed, to stay out of jail and off the FBI radar.

​As their empire grew so did their problems, and drama within their lives. Secrets, lies, betrayal, infidelity, and death were revealed causing pure chaos within their personal lives, which in turn caused a chain reaction that started to affect their businesses.

​KDB had the potential to become one of the most profitable, African American conglomerates the East Coast had ever seen if they played their cards right. They’re The Real Kings of Cleveland, not just because of their success but because they did what others attempted to do but failed at it miserably.

Review: Well if you like craziness and a story full of drama, this is definitely the book for you. The “kings” of the story definitely have their share of issues. I liked how the author introduced each one and gave some back story to how they came to be. However, I feel there is definitely much more to learn because the secrets really didn’t begin to unfold until nearly the end. I know us readers are in for a treat with parts 2 and 3.
