Sequel to "By The Blood". If you haven't read the first book, be sure to go and check it out!

Blood is thicker than water- a phrase many have heard and implemented in their everyday lives. For the Knighton brothers, it was more than just a phrase. For them it was a motto, their creed. It meant that nobody, friend or love interest, was above the familial bonds- by blood they were bound together and an outsider would be laid to rest before they could even attempt to break up the ties that held the family together. When troubling events occur in what is deemed to be their city-Memphis, Tennessee-they find themselves questioning the very words they hold so dear: Is blood really thicker than water?

Twenty-six year old Ja'Marr Phillips, also known as Prodigy, was your typical street dude. Residing in the slums of Philadelphia, PA, the hood life was all Ja'Marr knew and he was fine with that.

He was disrespectful, nasty, selfish, and a certified cheater with no heart or soul in this body. Love was never meant for him and neither was settling down which explained the constant cheating he partook in.

She wasn't into relationships or long-term sneaky links or committing to anyone at that matter. Yet, she found herself going against her own beliefs after meeting him. This is THE OTHER HER.
