Tony held out his hand, and the baldheaded guy handed him a large sum of cash. From what I could see, Tony must’ve been given at least five grand. Every bill he had in his hand was either a fifty- or hundred-dollar bill. I couldn’t see Tony’s expression because his back was to me, but I knew he must have been extremely happy. During all the years I had known him, I knew he had never held that much money in his hands at one time. I was sure he felt like he’d wn the lottery.
As he stood at the table counting his money, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I knew it was the chick coming back downstairs, so I didn’t bother to turn around. I wanted to keep my eyes on Tony and these two overgrown rejects posted up before me.
The footsteps grew louder, so I knew it would be only a matter of seconds before she graced the room once again with her presence. I heard her steps draw closer as she put one foot in front of the other, but then all of a sudden she stopped.
I felt her presence behind me, but I didn’t know how close she was. My curiosity went into overdrive as I wondered why she’d come to an abrupt stop. I forced myself not to turn around, because I didn’t want to seem like I was being nosy. But I couldn’t help myself. I had to find out what she was doing.
Just as I got up the nerve to turn around, I got a glimpse of a black piece of fabric. I knew it wasn’t something attached to the wall because I would have seen it when I first came into the house. So what was it? I turned my head to the right o see what this black thing looming over me was.
Without any warning, everything around me turned pitch-black. I realized my head had just been covered with a dark, cotton bag. I panicked and tried to pull the bag off my head. “What’s going on?,” I screamed. “Take this thing off me! Tony, help me!”
No one responded. The next thing I knew, I was struck in the back of my head with some heavy object and knocked out cold.

I didn't like this book at all. I thought this book was rushed. The previous 4 books were great but this one not so much..
Reviewer: Christy
I honestly think this should be the last of this series. Actually Part 4 ended great and that shouldve been the end. This book was not good compared to the others. I really suggest reading parts 1-4 and leave it at that if you havent already. I love The other books just one just didnt do it for me.
