Vincent lost his job and moved in with his mother. His friend Tyriq is a big time drug dealer and willing to sponsor him into a drug cartel. Vincent is reluctant, but his baby mama is nagging and bills are piling up. Hustling is the way. But his long-time friend (and an experienced hustler) Spoon is against Vincent getting down. Vincent ignores Spoon's advice and joins Tyriq. Vincent quickly starts stacking major figures. The never-ending gwap, expensive cars, jewelry and fast women prove addictive. What he craves could be his downfall. The higher he climbs, the more envy he encounters. Vincent is caught in a costly, ugly and vicious war. Younger soldiers are ready to kill in order to rise. Does Vincent have what it takes to succeed at this most ruthless, dirty game?

The Game,
By OOSA Online Book Club "O.O.S.A. Gets It Read!" (World Wide Web, USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Crave All Lose All (Paperback)
Vincent is a young man growing up in the streets of South Jamaica, Queens with his loving mother and father. Despite the guidance and lessons of home, Vincent soaked up the knowledge of the streets via his two best friends, Spoon and Tyriq. Spoon and Tyriq are getting that money. Out of a job and with obligations as a man to his baby's mama, Chandra, but most importantly to his son, hustling became a priority. Now in the game deep with priorities changing, will Vincent crave all and lose all?
"Crave All Lose All" by Erick S. Gray is one of the hottest novels I've read this summer. It was all that and then some! This dramatic and gritty tale of greed, power and lust was a very good read and I am impatiently waiting the sequel. Good job, Erick! Reviewed by: Tekisha

For the lust of money...,
By Joey D. Pinkney "JoeyPinkney.com" (Garner, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crave All Lose All (Paperback)
Eric S. Gray has penned an unapologetic urban fiction classic in Crave All Lose All. Although born and raised in the mean streets of Jamaica , Queens, Vincent "Vince" Grey has everything he needs to live a decent, normal life. He has a father to guide and teach him. He has a mother to love and nurture him. He even has a chance to move out and go to college.
Vince goes from an unemployed loser to a independently wealthy gangster with certified street credibility within a few short months. That independence comes at a severe price. With blood on his hands and more than enough money to get out of the game, Vince finds his back up against the wall. Although Vince is brought into the folds of a organization that poisons black communities for fast money, he quickly outgrows being a middleman for Tyriq. Once Vince becomes a certified connect for a Colombian cartel, the rival Jamaican crew that supplies Tyriq pressures him to erase Vince from the picture and regain control. Death certificates are issued left and right. Old friends quickly become bitter enemies living by the basic rule of the streets: eat or be eaten. Vince was a character that had many layers. Equal parts love and lust, his relationship with women was a roller coaster at best. This includes how he interacted with every woman from his mother to a stripper he got close to. The abundance of money usually magnifies a man's weaknesses. From strippers to drug runners and even toTyriq's main squeeze, Vince's lust for fast women seems to overshadow anything else that the game provided him. Although there was steamy sex, there was also the presence of heartache and pain that made Vince a believable character. I enjoyed the plot twists of Crave All Lose All. The book is filled with sex, drugs and violence, yet it is unpredictable to the end. There are certain things I didn't cover in this review that were totally unexpected and readers will definitely enjoy experiencing on their own. Joey Pinkney Unbiased Book Reviewer [...]

Not good.,
By Keepin' It Real (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crave All Lose All (Kindle Edition)
I'm not sure why this book has so many 5 star reviews.
In my opinion, this book is poorly written and is filled with garbage and cussing. Now, believe me, I don't at all mind when an author likes to sprinkle a little profanity here and there, but this was on every page and almost every sentence. Crave All Lose All also contains some very graphic sex scenes, teenage drinking, and the "N" word. This does not make a great book in my opinion. It makes it a poorly written one. I would give it zero stars if I could. Just a heads up for anyone who was interested in this book. I promptly requested a refund from Amazon and they were very polite and fulfilled my request.
