About the Author
New York Times bestselling authors Ashley & JaQuavis hit the scene at the age of seventeen. Born and raised in the most notorious neighborhoods of Flint, Michigan, it was only natural for the pair to write about the street life they knew all too well. During their freshman year in college they received national publishing deals, and with the Cartel series they have solidified themselves as two of the best in their genre.

After Murderville 1 and 2, I was so excited to read this book because I knew it would be a great read. Turns out it was just decent. Usually I would rate a 5/5 but it does not deserve it.It's like their new books can't compare to the old ones. What I'm beginning to notice is that all their characters talk the same, look the same, and act the same. If someone would have told me Leah was Dahlia and Disaya was Liberty, I wouldn't even be surprised. It's the same characters but different story. Some of the scenes on Murderville 3 were repetitive and just so unrealistic. The part when Dahlia killed Zulu and automatically got the respect of the African Mafia. Really??? She just killed their leader and these so called ruthless men all bow down like they wasn't ready to kill her minutes before. That whole scene made me mad. Then Rocko and Libery relationship was not as genuine as the authors tried to make it be. As I kept reading, I couldn't find one good reason why they loved each other.It just seemed so random that they ended up being together. Rocko claimed to be the type of guy that was unaffected by women but on another page he's talking about craving Liberty. Well which is it?... And Liberty claims to love Rocko but clearly he is a rebound cause she just now started noticing him. Another part that seemed ridiculous was Liberty's and Abia's unusual friendship. How can Liberty call her a mother figure and be so cool with the fact that Abia sold her. If anything she should be raging mad at Abia for making her go through all that BS with Samad. Abia could care less about Liberty so that whole scene of them hugging and talking like old pals was fake. The authors even threw in a flashback to prove my point.I guess the redeeming quality of the book would be the fact that Dahlia died and it had a good ending. If the ending was crappy I would probably give it a 1/5.

Let me say I love A&J's work. They are a brillant duo. But I do tire of the series, especially waiting on them year by year. This book was OK but it wasn't jaw dropping, which proves my point exactly. If you continue to draw these books out, the thrill is no longer there. But as for this one, I can say I'm glad the ending was different from their usual. Dahlia was a piece of work but her fate goes to show that greed can be your downfall. I don't see how Liberty lived the life she did and couldn't handle her cousin. And it's funny how all of a sudden Po finally realized what was really going on. I did like how the previous characters came together. I saw one reviewer said true fans didn't need a reminder of who was who-I disagree. I have read every book they have put out. A&J write a lot of books and in between they are putting out book installments. Sometimes so much time has passed that you need a reminder.

This was a nice read. I'm glad that they didn't prolong the series. To me it seemed like it was rushed in some areas & didn't draw me in like previous books did. I feel like it's missing something. That whole thing with Dahlia just seemed unbelievable how she came into power, how the men just sided with her & followed her that was too easy. All in all ok read to me...

A&J rushed this; clearly it wasn't at all realistic. And, why make this chick (en) look like a dizzy gangsta (not)? I have been a fan but, these authors are getting sloppy. Sorry this was just not a good read.....so disappointed!

The dynamic duo have done it again. I absolutely luved it. Murderville 3 picked right back up from where part 2 ended. All of the famous characters from the series and a few surprise cameos too. Ashley and Jaquavis u never seem to disappoint me. Can't wait for the Illuminati!!!!!

The only thing I found refreshing about this story was the ending. Usually A&J has the same typical dark ending for all their books but apparently they must have been listening to their readers because the ending to Murderville 3 actually took me by surprise and I was able to breath a sigh of relief.
The story itself was just ok. Nothing in it really blew my mind and there were no shocking twists or turns...a lot of scenes did come across as a little far fetched and at times I got kind of frustrated at the way Dhalia was able to avoid death like she was untouchable or something. Liberty was the same ol Liberty...the only time she showed an ounce of strength was when she told Po off at the end. Poor Rocko.....it's a shame that he's playing the rebound guy to Ashai and Po. That relationship was so random and something she sought at the height of her vulnerability, I don't think I was convinced at all with those two.
The ending of the book sets you up for the upcoming book Illuminati. But the way Baron and all the other big time drug dealers were captured and had to figure out what they all had in common reminded of the SAW (movie) franchise.
One thing Im starting to notice about the characters A&J create is that they all sound the same, have the same thing in common and really nothing to differentiate one character from the next except for their names. Either the men are all big time drug dealers, or the women are either drug bosses or damsels in distress. These characters need more depth and personality and I believe another reviewer pointed this out as well, and I also stated this in another review of their books. Overall I rate this a 3.5
