Product Description
The third and most explosive installment of the groundbreaking True to the Game trilogy will take you on a marathon race through the mean streets of Philly. Starting off where the second installment's dramatic cliffhanger left us, True III will finally reveal Gena's mysterious stalker and savior, as well as introduce a new killer so vicious, so cunning, so ruthless, he'll have you looking over your shoulder with each turn of the page.
The crooked cops are searching for the money, Gena's family members are now the target for Gena who's hiding from everything and everyone, as the race is on for Gena's survival. Will she manage to keep the money, can she get out of town and make a new life for herself, and will her family survive the maniacal killer that is hell bent on tracking her down? Will Gena stay, True to the Game?

 WHY? June 24, 2008

Following her near death experience in the hotel with Jerrell, Gena is whisked away by an unknown savior and nursed back to health. Now awake, Gena is ready to meet the person behind it all...
In the third installment, the "True to the Game" trilogy comes to an end and answers the one question readers want to know - Is Quadir alive? Defined by no substance, no story and no characterization, this novel is like watching paint dry. The few moments of action quickly dissipate. In large, "True to the Game III" focuses on explaining past situations and crooked cops in pain staking, drawn out detail. "True to the Game II" veered off in one direction and III veers in yet another direction, neither being consistent or interesting as the first book. I can't help but play on the title and say this book was not "true to the game." I expect that "True to the Game III" will divide readers into two groups: die hard fans who will hail the book despite all its obvious flaws; and those who want to grab the `author' and say, "ENOUGH ALREADY!" Count me in the second group.

In True to the Game III by Teri Woods, Gena's life is at stake. Out of the gate, she is attacked and an unknown hero comes to save her. After the assault, she awakened in a strange bed, in an unfamiliar home and with little clues to what exactly happened. Gena had many unanswered questions. But one question was more important when she stood ace-to-face with her deceased fiance, Quadir; why are you not dead?
Explaining his death was the easy part for Quadir. Telling her he loved someone else was not as easy and caused her to flee. With the twenty million dollars she inherited because of his death, Gena could definitely make a new life without him. At least she thought she could until a barrage of violence, targeting her family and close friends, made her escape out of necessity. But it is hard to run away from something when you do not know who or what you are running from and why you are running from them. That was Gena's dilemma.
True to the Game III was a fast-paced, action-packed read. There is a little work needed in character development as it seems the author wrote this for readers who have read the first two parts. I connected with the characters via the situations presented, not so much because of their personalities. I am sure this third installment will tie up loose ends for TTTG fans and it would work decently as a stand alone. I did not care for the ending and found it not only fluffy, but told more then showed. Die hard fans would probably love it, but I encourage new readers to start with the first book.

Call me a glutton for punishment. I thought True to the Game II was horrible but I just had to find out what happened in III. This book takes the cake. It was well written but the story itself was just STUPID. Add to that boring and slow. The plot was unbelievable and ridiculous and I only continued reading to see how it was going to end. I laughed out loud many times as the plot dipped further into insanity. What was the point of making books II and III? I'm going to pretend like they don't exist because they shouldn't!! I know the guy that wrote the first True to the Game has got to be upset. His story and characters have been butchered.
Note to other authors - don't bring dead characters back to life!

I was happy like a kid in the candy store when i got it and my excitement left like "poof". The Explanation was good. But quadir was acting slow he didn't know if he wanted a woman who saved his life or a chick he loved before his "Death". They put time into that explanation but the rest of that book was thrown together.
One is a classic. 2 was almost there and 3. Look Terri, You need a better ghost writer or you should have paid them more. This book is suppose to be about quadir and gena. Not all these new chracters.
Someone needs to understand that you should read the old story before you the write the sequel. So it'll make sense. They should've taken their time. I want a do overs. Recall and do it over.
Can I give it a ZERO?!?! June 23, 2008

This book was not good at all. Boring. Slow. Who were these characters because I did not recognize them from True to the Game? Gena was dumb and clueless. Quadir was Captain Save a H** at all the right times. And the book wasn't even about them. More time was spent on the corrupt cops and Jerrell's deranged twin. Unbelievable. My only question is WHY? WHY was this book published? Just horrible!
