"What am I to you?" "Everything. And if anyone tries to take you from me I will put them in the fucking ground and sleep next to you on top of it."

In the heart of North Philly, power isn't earned - it's taken. A kingpin who treats people and neighborhoods like chess pieces and a man who refuses to back down from what he believes is right. Just read please, I'm terrible at descriptions.

Kazeem "Kaz" Curtis is known on the block for wooing the ladies. He's handsome, fly, and everybody's got his name in their mouth. But when the truth about what he's hiding comes out, will they reject him-or finally see him for who he really is? Before he can figure that out, Jasir enters his life. Some call him a mystery. Others know him as hood royalty. But all Jasir knows is that Kazeem isn't as slick as he thinks. He sees right through him.

With his life dedicated to the streets, Fetti didn't have time nor the energy for anything else. Determined, cold, and calculated described him when it came to how he moved getting money. He had it all. That is until life took an unexpected turn leaving him to face the consequences. The only thing on Zaytona mind is taking care of his daughter and getting money. But with living in two different states and dealing with a baby mama from hell, it's hard for him to be the good father he's desperately trying to be. When the two worlds collide, things get a little bit messy and very hostile.

World ended, zombies everywhere, and I'm stuck tryna figure out who the hell I can trust. Camp supposed to be "safe," but it's full of drama, lies, and people losin' their minds. And then there's Asaan-quiet, fine, mysterious. I ain't expect to catch feelings out here, but now it's like survival ain't just about killin' zombies. It's about who gon' ride for you when the dead close in.

Ain't nothin' soft about love in the hood. Sixteen-year-old Amari, a wild-hearted, street-smart intersex boy from Eastside, keeps his truth close. Ain't nobody got time to understand him-not his mama, not the streets, not even himself sometimes. But then comes Dre, a quiet, observant boy fresh from ATL, trying to keep his own demons in check. They ain't supposed to fall for each other. Not here, where survival means keeping your head down and heart cold. But what happens when love starts speakin' louder than fear? When truth gets louder than whispers? This ain't no fairytale. This real life. And real love-yeah, that sh*t hit different.
