All the Way In by Treasure Hernandez
Born into the struggle, Sonya Mills and Melody "Ham" Tatum are far from living the good life. They're missing meals, have no clean clothes to put on their backs, and are forced to sleep in abandoned houses. There are zero possibilities in sight for a legal come-up for either young woman.
The desperate teens have no choice but to beg, borrow, and steal if they hope to survive on the savage streets of Detroit. In a twist of fate, the pair link up, adapting a bloodthirsty, anything-goes, what's-yours-is-mine attitude that they inflict upon all they come in contact with. Sonya and Melody are made of no sugar, no spice, and definitely nothing nice!
