What reviewers are saying about Mike McCrary & the Remo Cobb Series:
”McCrary’s prose practically bounces off the page …” - Kirkus Reviews
”Remo Went Rogue is a fast-paced, cinematic, and viciously dark novel that caught me completely off guard and left me wanting more. Mike McCrary is definitely a writer to watch.” - John Rector, Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author of The Ridge, Already Gone, and The Cold Kiss
”Either somebody set Chuck Palahniuk and Elmore Leonard up on a blind date or we have a new mad genius on our hands. Mike McCrary delivers a mini-pulp masterpiece with prose that pounds with the best of ‘em, and a character in Remo Cobb so wickedly lovable you’ll want to name your first born after him. As far as I’m concerned, crime fiction just got kicked in the balls.” - Peter Farris, author of Last Call for the Living
“Mike McCrary is a dynamic new talent on the scene and quite honestly, I’d read his rewriting of Pride & Prejudice as long as it’s written in the same prose he wrote REMO WENT ROGUE with.” - Benoît Lelièvre, Dead End Follies ”Remo Went Rogue is a fun, fast ride. It is a mean, hard-boiled novel with a fresh spin on the genre and filled with rich black humor.” – Scott Montgomery, MysteryPeople
What Amazon readers are saying about the Remo Cobb Series:
★★★★★ ‘Remo Went Rogue is a dark, gritty thriller with it’s fair share of humorous, witty dialogue. Think Tarantino but with bite.’
★★★★★ ‘I really love this book.’
★★★★★ ‘Really, really funny and surprising!’
★★★★★ ‘Mike McCrary is an awesome writer. If you don’t mind violence, sex and foul language, this is an awesome book and I could not rate it any less than it is.’
★ ‘This isn’t a review. I have not and will not be reading this book. The F word is used three times in the first three sentences. I can’t see any reason why this would be necessary, and I don’t need so much bad language. Once or twice, in context – OK. This isn’t OK. Sorry, but great as this book might be, there are many more great books out there without gratuitous ‘effing’ and I prefer to read those.’
★★★★★ ‘McCrary writes on the edge – the edge of sanity. Enjoyed it a lot.’

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*
Getting Ugly – Action packed, fast paced suspense with interesting characters. The plot kept me immersed in the story. Ugly is a fun, good character. Well written, but vulgar language happy.
Steady Trouble #1 – 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.
Steady Madness #2 – Picks up where Steady Teddy ended. Another well written, action-packed, suspense filled book. The characters from Steady Teddy #1 have growth and you either love em or hate em. You’re definitely rooting for the good guys even when they’re bad. Even the new additions are interesting. There’s a surprise at the end of the story that’s heartwarming, actually a couple of em. I had to laugh when I saw BAD WORDS INC. on the title page, since Mr. McCrary is always reviewed for his vulgar language. He has a sense of humor as you can see in his books. I volunteered to review his books many books ago. He is one of my favorite new authors.
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.
Remo Went Wild #3 – I couldn’t stop belly laughing or put the book down. The descriptions are just poetry, vivid. Remo 3 is the best of the lot, so far. Well written, intense, suspense filled, with humor over the top. Mr. McCrary has a good thing going here with Remo. It seems he’s cut the vulgar language some, but what’s there, just belongs – these are real thugs who haven’t been to church in awhile, if ever. LOL. (Since in the Amazon reviewing community, non Christians and real people curse.)
The characters are getting stronger with each book and the plot still remains twisting and engaging. Any more folks, and we’re talking spoilers. I’ll let you discover the adventure on your own. With over 50K books in my possession, not counting the local library, I don’t reread many books. When Remo Went Berserk comes out, I’ll be rereading the first three just to get into the mood to savor Berserk. McCrary goes on my bookshelf with Ludlum, my favorite author.
Remo Went Off #4 – Wow, Remo’s story comes to a close – maybe? This book is just as action packed, fast paced and intriguing as the previous volumes. Well written plot; realistic characters; realistic and appropriate dialog; just the items that make a good story.
You must read these books in order to get the most out of this series. But if you can’t, don’t let it stop you from reading this or any other book. Once you get started, you’ll have a difficult time putting these books down. Some folks will get offended by the vulgar language, which ranges in frequency usage thorough out the books, but the characters are criminals and this is their norm. I contacted the author to review his books.
