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.

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.

 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.

True to the Game III begins where part 2 left off. Gena wakes up in a unfamiliar surroundings all bruised and bandage. Wondering who saved her life from the brutal attack which was caused by Jerrell. She receive the shock of her life when she comes face to face with her true love and savior Quadir, who was suppose to have been shot and killed.
There are so many unanswered questions that Gena is looking for answers from Quadir. Of course she is highly upset because how could he go this long without letting her know that he was still amongst the living. Quadir takes us back to the night he was shot up and how he survived, his rehabilitation with the help of Dr. Amelia Hopkins, and how he was the one behind keeping her safe when she thought someone was following her. The question is has Quadir moved on with his life or is Gena his one and only true love?
True to the Game III is a pretty good read, but not one of Mrs. Woods best. The book did keep my attention. The book also went different ways, there a few people after Gena including some crooked cops but in the end will justice prevail?

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!

The only and I stress the ONLY reason I bothered to read this book was I wanted to see how Quadir being alive was going to play out. WOW! That whole the doctor saved him and fell in love with him storyline was just preposterous. Not only that, but too much time was spent on it. That alone took up close to 100 pages. Then when you thought things just couldn't get any worse, they did. I don't know who these characters were in this book, but they were NOT the Quadir and Gena of book one. Even Quadir's mom did a 360. It was as if everything that happened in book one was null and void here. This book was a waste of time and I wish there was someway I could sue someone and get my time back. This is a clear case of when keeping it real (or when you don't write your own books) goes WRONG!
