Product Description
The third and most explosive installment of the groundbreaking True to the Game trilogy will take you on a marathon race through the mean streets of Philly. Starting off where the second installment's dramatic cliffhanger left us, True III will finally reveal Gena's mysterious stalker and savior, as well as introduce a new killer so vicious, so cunning, so ruthless, he'll have you looking over your shoulder with each turn of the page.


The crooked cops are searching for the money, Gena's family members are now the target for Gena who's hiding from everything and everyone, as the race is on for Gena's survival. Will she manage to keep the money, can she get out of town and make a new life for herself, and will her family survive the maniacal killer that is hell bent on tracking her down? Will Gena stay, True to the Game?

3 out of 5 stars Vengence is mine said the twin brother   August 17, 2008
This book really took it there. It shows how a vengeful brother can really seek revenge. By going after your family and friends and even your elderly grandma. That was the ultimate disgrace and I wish Jerrod could have been taken out to suffer more than he actually had. I hate the fact that Gena is such a weakling. You'd think growing up in Richard Allen would have made her stronger. She is one of the most naive characters that I have ever read about. Now the way Quadir was resurrected was sweet! I have to give Ms. Woods her props for that. His bff betrayed him in the worse way. Money really is the root of all evil. Cops, loyal servants and even your family members sometimes turn on you because of it. But I still have to go back and re-read part one because of the long release delay of two and three. I guess part 1 was re-released but I read it first years ago. No way to remember all that happened from eight years ago but I'm glad this one was released not to long after part 2.


3 out of 5 stars Expected a little more   August 14, 2008
I liked the first True to the Game book, and the second was okay it was interesting to say the least. This last one somewhat disappointed me. I understood what the author was doing and I think the story could have been really great. This book left me questioning a gang of things in the second book, by now everybody knows it was Quadir that saved her, well why in the world did it take so long, he'd could have been and got to her and explained the situation, he'd been following and watching her all that time and Jerrell wasn't with her 24/7. In this book Gena was even stupider than in the first one, I hated the way that she didn't seem to grow or mature really at all she was still some flashy hood chick worried about how she'd stay laced in Gucci and Gold, worried about herself. I liked the twist and turns and how she had to go through all that stuff, I just didn't like the fact that the author kept her in that stereotypical stigma of being this dumb tail girl. Then again, Quadir seemed just as air headed as her, so maybe they are a match made in heaven. And I agree the ending was not what I expected and I was very disappointed that she didn't go into more detail about their relationship. In all it was okay, the twist and turns were interesting not enough about the lead characters though, and the ending was very rushed and left you wondering how all of that even came about, but an okay book to read if your waiting in the doctors office or your cable is out lol, or your just plain ol bored. Get it from the Library though.


5 out of 5 stars Great Trilogy   August 11, 2008

I love reading and at times find myself falling for these kind of books and stories. It drags you into the story and makes you feel like you are a part of it, its so real. It a beautiful love story with many twisted situations. I would absolutely reccommend it to my friends or anyone else. If you are going to read one, read all three, their worth it. Loved this book!!


3 out of 5 stars Rushed...   August 10, 2008
It was cool, seemed kind of rushed thought, Im a writer myself n I just think it could have been cleaner, sharper, and edited better... but other than that...it was ok for the purpose..


5 out of 5 stars I Freakin' Loved This Book!   August 8, 2008

I really enjoyed this book. I read it in a few hours. This was a huge step up from the second installment, which I rated horribly. Things really seem to come together, there were many suprises and the ending was great. She developed thje characters better this time around and Gina didn't look like a complete fool.
