Moth to a Flame: Tenth Anniversary Edition
In the little city of Flint, MI, the good die young and the people left standing are the grimiest of characters. With reign over the city’s drug trade, Benjamin Atkins made sure that his precious daughter, Raven, was secluded from the grit that the city had to offer. But when Raven’s young heart gets claimed by Mizan, a stick-up kid in search of a come-up, there’s nothing Benjamin can do about losing her to the streets. She chooses love over loyalty and runs off with Mizan, but her new role as wifey soon proves to be more than she can handle.
Puppy love always feels right, but things turn stale, and she soon finds that everyone she loves has disappeared. All she has is Mizan, but when hugs and kisses turn to bloody lips and black eyes, she realizes that Mizan is not who she thought he was.
Raven becomes desperate for a way out, but this time, Daddy can’t save her. Every time she finds the courage to leave, fear convinces her to stay. Like a moth to a flame, Raven is drawn to Mizan, even though she knows he’ll be the death of her. When the hood life she chose becomes unbearable and the only way out is in a coffin, what will she do?

This was my first Ashley Antoinette book. It was also my first urban fiction in over a decade. The book was interesting. I gave my rating due to the plot holding my attention. I will probably read Ethic just to see what happens but this book wasn’t one of my favorite urban novels.
This was one of my favorite books. The hurt the pain the anger it is definitely a book that has triggers so make sure you check out the trigger warnings before you read this book but this is the beginning to the book series of ethic. I will read this book all over again. if you wanna go on a roller coaster ride of emotions, this is the book for you.
Most of my problem with this book was the one sided view of Raven’s life and some inconsistencies with her character. I also had some minor problem with some of the timelines.
