**Title: 7881 E. Cranrest**
**Description:**
Deep in the cracked sidewalks and flickering streetlights of Atlanta's westside, 7881 E. Cranrest stands like a rusted crown on a forgotten block. Inside, 19-year-old Kytrell "Ky" Jackson rules the only kingdom he's ever claimed: the trap house that doubles as home. By day, he's slinging for the set that raised him; by night, he's the only shield between his five-year-old brother, Isaiah "Zay" Malachi Jackson, and the chaos bleeding through the walls.
Their mama? She's a ghost in her own house: high, gone, or screaming; whatever keeps her from seeing the bruises on Zay's knees or the gun tucked in Ky's waistband. The fridge stays empty, the lights flicker on borrowed time, and every knock at the door could be the plug, the opps, or child services.
Kytrell's got one rule: *Zay eats before anybody. Zay sleeps before anybody. Zay lives-no matter what.* But when a botched lick leaves blood on the doorstep and the set demands Ky finish what he started, the house at 7881 becomes a pressure cooker. Loyalty to the streets or love for the little boy clutching a half-eaten Pop-Tart in the dark; Ky can't outrun both.
In a house where the address is the only thing that stays the same, Kytrell's about to learn that some doors you can't lock from the inside.

Not only would she be snatching me away from my family and friends but she was taking me away from the person I'd loved for five going on six years. I couldn't just walk away from him. "Baby.." She trailed off, sighing deeply. "I know you love Abir." She stood to her feet to stop packing for a moment and pulled me into her. "But I promise you, there will be other boys. Right now you have to do what's best for you and that's coming with your daddy and I to give you a better life." "Better life for who? You?!" I screamed out, becoming even more angry at her choice of words. As if my feelings were robotic and I could just turn them on and off for any and every person. "My feelings just don't matter to y'all at all, huh?" I asked, crying harder than before now. "Speak to your mother with some respect, Giselle." My father spat to me and I shook my head, watching as they stood there looking at me like some dumb teenager. This wasn't puppy love for me. I didn't spend 5 years building something, just to walk away from it for their dreams. I couldn't do it. Sinner. Book #1Complete
