I received an Advanced Reading Copy (ARC) of this book in exchange for an honest review I really don’t want to write this review.

Known for its killer bargains and discounted prices, it’s an area of town every college student should be familiar with. On the outskirts of Chinatown, between Beltway 8 and 59, you will find a plethora of strip malls offering...
