4,75 starsI knew I liked this book going in to it, but I didn't remember just how much. I think it's a shame that this series is "just" a self-published one and it's not crossed more people's paths than it has. I'm pretty sure if Shadow's character was female, these would be some sort of best seller...
4,75 stars. I used to have this as a three star read, because I read it back in the day when I still rated books on one big scale. Nowadays I realize that there's no point in comparing "fun" books with "serious" books because I read them for completely different reasons. It's like trying to use the ...
Yes! 4.5 "I-really-needed-that" Stars Where to begin? First of all, this is not a romance. It's a suspense- and action-packed crime novel with thriller tendencies. There is, however, a romance sub-plot. And all of it is so goooood. Simon Drake is a young FBI agent with a lot of ambition and drive. H...
1. This story is quirky, decidedly charming. The Chinaman showing up gave me pause. The first thing to come to mind was that one Jackie Chan movie where he was in the Wild West (Carson City?) and they kept calling him "Shanghai Kid" and he kept telling them "I'm not from Shanghai." That one line, ev...
Update I found the missing scene after the ending…. http://mchandler.org/sott/stories/mscodicil.html Reader alert! If you're expecting a romance be fair warned that you're not going to get it. If you're expecting an action/caper story then you're in the right place. This book plays out like one of...
And it was unsatisfying. It was more of the same, OTT banter, juvenile behaviour, asshole Simon (emotionally stunted or something) and a lot of action. There was no romance or love or any kind of emotional development in there. Everything happens off scene - and with everything I also mean feeli...
And I still don't like Simon. He is an asshole. And an unfair boss. This was partially really really boring. So now I want this series over with.
It has action, suspense, a decent crime plot and some very good banter going. What it is decidedly lacking is romance. Jeremy and Simon are not a cute couple. They are not a couple at all. And certainly no friends. I find this detracts a bit from my reading pleasure. I love Jeremy,he is a great ...
Let's play rough and sexy FBI-Agent and sexy Cat-Burglar!!! This was fun. All around. It had some action, some crime plot including evil German terrorist leader guy in white suits (very Bond-esk). It might not have been the most original or innovative book around, but it sure was a fun read, lig...
My bar with free online fiction is pretty low. Was the story compelling? Did the characters sound realized? Was I able to sink into the writing? Was there some use of grammar and punctuation? Did it have an ending??? (Instead of being lost in the depressing wasteland of broken dreams known as “Aband...
