"The Cartel series is back and more deadly than ever. Las Vegas. A city built on obscene wealth and corrupt deals, cunning entrepreneurs, and the ruthless mob. The Cartel's plan to open a casino will rake in cash, but comes with great sacrifice. The stakes have never been this high, and rules of the game have never been this hard to manipulate. And when one dead girl, one scorned wife, and one hole in the desert launch a chain of catastrophic events, The Cartel is sent on a downward spiral as they battle the Arabian mob and fight traitors within their circle. Will the Cartel prevail or fall victim to the city's black cloud? And if there's one rule in the town of Vegas, it's that when the dust settles, there can ...only be one winner"--

Review by Booklist Review

The Cartel 6: The Demise is not only couple Ashley & JaQuavis' latest entry in their sturdy, best-selling Cartel series about the Diamond crime family but also their debut title with a mainstream publisher. The story picks up right where The Cartel 5: La Bella Mafia (2014) left off, with the head of the family, Carter, hovering between life and death in Las Vegas from a bullet to the chest. His brother, Monroe, is at his side, peeking out the window at their former ally Baraka's dozens of armed henchmen, who are waiting with blood in their eyes. All of the other Diamond family members, along with friends, enemies, and those who fall somewhere in between, are quickly swept up into the subsequent tumultuous events and their cataclysmic consequences, especially Carter's wife, Miamor, whose murder-mama temper touched off the fiery conflict. The story's turns and surprises, paired with its unflinching studies of emotional pain and physical pleasure make this an excellent, exciting read for newcomers, longtime Cartel followers, and all urban-lit fans.--Hawkins, Valerie Copyright 2016 Booklist
