My Review :
This is my first time reading anything by this author and I was not disappointed. This book is Fast paced and very well-written. Oh and lets not forget it is very twisted. The story kept me interested from beginning to end. I found myself quickly turning the pages to see how he was going to get out of it all. I also found myself unable to put it down.The characters are rich and so well crafted. The thrills and mystery that McCrary develops with the plot and characters will keep you glued to the pages. My heart raced in places with excitement – and towards the final pages. And The ending wow that was a shocking suprise. I am looking so forward to reading my next book by Mike McCrary. I highly recommend it.
I’ve read a number of Mike McCrary’s books and have totally enjoyed them so when I started “Relentless” it seemed a bit slow going for me. Because I have enjoyed his other books I kept on going and was I glad I did. Now I did manage to figure out a bit of the ending pretty early on but I did not expect the kick butt action I got from then on. It had everything and more. Now I know why I like what this guy writes and I won’t give up on any of his books because just MAYBE I’ll be in for a big surprise.
Relentless – I was clueless about the storyline, so I really didn’t want to read Relentless after I read the first couple of chapters. I don’t care about LA, designer clothes and fancy cars; you got em, great but so what. But I’ve read a few books by Mr. McCrary and love his work, so I hung in there. Glad I did because the pace picked up, the plot turned intriguing and suspenseful, and the characters ranged the gamut from weak to pure evil, with plenty of manipulation from several directions. I figured out a few things, except one thing: what was actually wanted in the end by the bad guy. I want to say more, but I don’t do spoilers; this is a review, not a book report. Another well written, well thought out story. 5*
Remo Went Rogue #1 – Action packed, fast paced suspense with a cast of characters typical of this type of novel. Cut n Shoot ain’t that little any more. Well written, but too much vulgar language, although that’s typical for these characters. If you like Elmore, you’ll like this book.
Remo Went Down #2 – Great! Another action packed, fast paced thriller full of suspense, characters that keep getting better and a twisting plot. Better than Rogue, still with the vulgar and the violence works. I couldn’t put the book down, it wouldn’t let me until I finished. Do read Rogue first, and then hang on for the ride with Down.
Steady Trouble – Action packed, fast paced with an interesting plot and characters. Of the three books, I’ve read, this is the best, with Getting Ugly second (fun, good character). Cowtown, yes; A-Town?, must be near NYC or Chi-Town. Standalone, but there’s definitely more in the future. Well written with believable characters and plot. Do want to see more of Teddy. This book is different from the Remo series, but just as enjoyable.
