The Monster Beside the Silence: The Wolf Gospel Series Book 1

By: Crippen, Alonzo J.

The Monster Beside the Silence

The Wolf Gospel - Book 1

Some monsters hide in the shadows. CJ learned to become one.

From the cracked sidewalks of Country Circle to the blood-stained corners of 4th and Monmouth, CJ rises through the streets with silence as his weapon. He isn't the loudest. He isn't the flashiest. He's the architect-the ghost who builds kingdoms in the dark.

Alongside James King, the golden boy destined to shine, CJ carves a legend written in blood, loyalty, and betrayal. But when the game turns on them, prison walls, snitches, and broken dreams force CJ to choose between survival and brotherhood.

This is not the glorified tale of rap videos and rented cars. This is the raw truth of ambition, silence, and consequence. A story where loyalty is currency, betrayal is death, and the hunger never dies-even when the belly is full.

Gritty. Relentless. Unforgiving. The Monster Beside the Silence is the explosive first entry in The Wolf Gospel series-a brutal, immersive ride for fans of street lit, urban epics, and the cold poetry of survival.

A Real Page Turner!

I enjoyed this book so much and I could not put it down, I found it interesting and well written with a lot of emotion. This book covered many things in life that readers can relate to, like the strength and loyalty of a family, the formation and break down of friendships, love, death, broken hearts, dishonesty and life's struggles and achievements. I recommend this book to adults 18 and over.
