Trust No Man by Cash explores the world of snitches, whores, and gang-bangers. Close your eyes and you will see these images in many of our backyards, or places we have visited or where we grew up. Terrance aka Youngblood is the main character in this urban fiction story. We are given his story in detail from growing up in the hood to him finding where he fits in; in the scheme of things. Youngblood hangs around old heads or OGs trying to pick up their tales of the street when they used to slang and never got caught up. Youngblood is a strong-minded individual like many of the young men of today; however, he gets caught up in trying to come up and becomes a stick-up kid.
Plotting against rival bangers and drug dealers Youngblood is trying to make his name ring bells in the street. Hooking up with different women and flossing his wealth will only lead him in two places–dead or in jail. After doing an extensive bid, Youngblood fathers multiple children, gets shot numerous times, and becomes a well-known killer. Will Youngblood turn his life around before it is too late, or have the streets already claimed his soul?
The beginning of this story was very typical of all urban fiction books, but it had a twinge of something different and held me captive, anticipating what would happen next. When I got to the end of the book, I was saddened and a little confused. With the help of additional editing, this story could have flowed much smoother. I recommend this book to readers of urban lit.
