Unholy Empire — K.R. Bankston

18-year old Jacoury Slaughter and his best friend Ramell worked hard to escape the poverty that was their legacy in Kansas City. Their needs were simple: to live on their own terms and to love whom their hearts desired. For Jacoury that desire was 16 year old Necie, his sister's best friend since childhood, a desire that would remain unobtainable until the night they finally came together and she agreed to be his. Their happiness would become a target once her parents found out and fully unravel the day she told him she was moving away and there was nothing he could do to stop it. Never one to back down from a challenge, Jacoury sets out to prove Necie wrong; unwittingly opening the Pandora's box of twisted lies, salacious secrets, and inconceivable carnage that will lie in their wake.
