Review # 1 was written on 2016-12-19 00:00:00 Thomas Mckenzie Every Year I try to read a book with short stories to discover new authors. This year was not so successful. Most of these stories were so bad, I almost didn't finish this. I'm glad I did though, the third to last story really touched something in me. Marcus Sakey is defiantly someone I would want to read more from. Here are what I thought: Perfect Gentleman by Brett Battles 2* Very predictable Killing Justice by Allison Brennan 3* A compelling story of injustice, politics and money I think it could have been great with a bit more flesh, but it was very bare in some places Bottom Deal by Robert Gregory Browne 4 * Intriguing story and full; well-developed character Time of the Green by Ken Bruen 1* This is crappy, the writing, the story. I just didn't like anything Slice of Pie by Bill Cameron 3* A quick gripping read. Would like to read more of his stuff A Failure to Communicate by Toni McGee Causey 3* This could have been a terrific story if it weren't for the confusing time jumps. I like the heroine, she's kick ass! I'll try to find more of Toni's work. I think I'll like them. One Serving of Bad Luck by Sean Chercover 4* I really enjoyed this one. It was fast and on the edge Prodigal Me by J.T. Ellison 3* This was fun, just a shame you get to figure the plot twist out way before it happens The Only word I know in Spanish by Patry Francis 1* This was just one long rambling of nothing Teardown by Marc Lecard 2* Pretty everyday, nothing special Runaway by Derek Nikitas 1* WTF did I just read??? This was just a mess... From start to finish The Crime of my Life by Gregg Olsen 4* This was a quick suspenseful one. And the plot twist... did not see that coming. The Point Guard by Jason Pinter 4* This was really good. A swirl of emotion and a bound to the main character in less than ten pages, this is talent. Gravity and Need by Marcus Sakey 5* WOW! Marcus makes all the others look like wane-bees. This was awesome, deep and you really connect with the characters. If all the stories was like this I wouldn't have such a struggle finishing this damn book. Death Runs Faster by Duane Swierczynski 1* So boring, and the writing is terrible. Righteos Son by Dave White 1* Just NO! |
