The Game: Thirsty
The Players: Justice, Monk, Sapphire, and Carlos
Justice - an exotic beauty that uses her looks and charm to out-hustle the smartest hustlers. "A beautiful woman armed with a load of confidence is considered a dangerous woman!"
Monk - Justice's younger brother and notorious stick up kid. "Give it to Monk or give it to God!"
Sapphire - best friend to Justice and somewhat naive. "Sapphire was as square as a pool table and as green as the cloth on top of it."
Carlos - Justice's ex and Charlotte's dope boy with money to burn. However, he won't "hesitate to do whatever or whomever to keep it that way."
The Objective: Guap - a thirst that will never be quenched.
The Challenge - To make it out alive; to thirst another day.
The Twist - There are no rules.
The board is set. The players are in place. Let the games begin...
Mike Sanders has true creative talent. As the events of THIRSTY play out, it's apparent that these characters are doomed for some sort of collision, and it's this inevitability that gives the book its great forward momentum. With novel number three, author Mike Sanders doesn't abandon his talent, but takes it to new heights. Great character development, fast-paced action, and page-turning drama, THIRSTY is a worthy book touting the power and enjoyment of good writing. Sanders keeps us turning the pages, faster and faster, and by the time the story comes full circle, he will have plenty of new fans hoping he gets to work on his next book. I'm looking forward to T2.
**Kudos and finger snaps for the poetry. Let me find out you got skills!**

This is a story of several people whose lives collide. Choices are made, some of which are terrible. Choices that will forever alter their lives.
Mike Sanders has brought freshness to an all too familiar premise. He has introduced a multi-faceted plot with many characters, and the story is told from four points of view - Justice, Monk, Sapphire and Carlos - in alternating chapters. Each chapter blends into the following effortlessly. I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. His descriptions are vivid and convincing.
In the end, "Thirsty" is a book that's hard to put away completely. Even long after it's finished, you may find its characters sneaking back into your head. Mike Sanders has spun a wicked tale that MUST be read by everyone. This is my first read by this author and it won't be my last.
