A mobster story with a strong female lead? Sign me up! Layla didn’t necessarily sign up to be the head of a drug cartel, but when her uncle finds himself behind bars...well, family looks after family. This is a rollercoaster ride we are on with Layla as she finds herself in some sticky situations. What a great and entertaining read this book is.

i really enjoyed reading this book, the characters were great and I really enjoyed the mystery in the book.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Fast paced story that, surprisingly, makes you sympathetic to a drug lord.

Layla is intelligent, beautiful and recently replaced her uncle's as head of the family business - drugs, any drug, all drugs.

She is looking to score the biggest cocaine deal of the caryel's history. And is derailed from her mission when she stumbles across a different type of trafficking.

Sex trafficking and Layla can't allow it to continue.

Complex characters, believable world building - a good weekend read.

i really wanted to like this book, but it just did not make any sense to me. i don't get the premise and i did not enjoy reading it. it was hard and contrived and confusing and weird weird weird.

Oh, those Sinaloa cartels! So terrible, yet so tantalizing. The United States Intelligence Community considers the Sinaloa Cartel "the most powerful drug trafficking organization in the world". Wheels Up introduces the newest cartel head, Layla Navarro, heroine and star of this fast-paced crime thriller.

She’s a beautiful woman. It may be tough to be a woman in Mexico, but Layla is here and ready to take over the cartel after her uncle is imprisoned. From cartel accountant to mariachi singer to assassin- she’s all in and holding her own. Until everything goes sideways.

“Wheels Up” refers to the time or point when a plan or operation is executed. And Layal is ready to do what needs to be done to rectify a terrible wrong. Layal has taken a personal oath, “The woman is coming.” This guides her through terrifying ordeals in Mexico, Guatemala, and ultimately Cancun.

The author takes her personal knowledge of the Yucatan Peninsula to bring this story of drugs, human trafficking and adventure to life. The food, culture, and scenery are all as lively as the characters.

From the gorgeous cover to the exciting ending, this is a good read! Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for a review copy. This is my honest review.

When her notorious drug lord uncle is recaptured, Layla Navarro becomes the top of Mexico's most powerful cartel To expand the empire. So the story revolves around how the deal goes . It was refreshing to see a women in charge of a powerful cartel . Fast and exciting to get to the end.
