Big fan of Sydney Rye.
I found myself totally relating to the heroine as she struggled to learn, what was going on, and how to stand up for herself. I didn’t want to put the book down and have added several more of this series in my reading queue.
A great introduction to the Sydney Rye book series. You get to see how she evolved, lots of action and fast moving plot.
This was one crazy book. I am glad I read it. I needed this action packed book. The start and finish was so not what I expected I don’t know what way this book or story is going to go. Such a great start to a series. It left me wanting more.
Wow! Sydney Rye is one badass chick ~ not by choice, but by circumstance. But I really love Blue ~
After one too many deadbeat boyfriends, Joy needs a fresh new start. She gets herself a lovable pooch named Blue. She also ends up with a dogwalking job and a dead body in an alley, who is the husband of one of her clients.
She and Blue decide to solve the case. I loved this book so much that I have bought the rest of the series.
A good read!
I know this was supposed to be a mystery thriller, which it was but that was not the best part about this book. As far as the mystery thriller part, that was probably a 2.5-3. The best part of this book were the characters, which were a 4-4.5. LOVED Joy and Blue and James and the dog walking crew and the clients and their dogs etc…
It was …
Intriguing mystery with unpredictable characters. Joy takes on the job of a dog walker. When a dog breaks away , she takes chase onlys to find one of her clients murderer in an ally. Joy’s life goes down hill fast but you will be cheering for her.
Great book loved the Character Sydney!!! Can’t wait to read more about her!! Dieing to read the new one coming out with Gia Santella!!! This is a colaberation between Ms. Emily Kimelman and Ms. Kristi Belcamino!!! Both have created two very strong viberant characters and I can’t wait to have them both in one book!!
This is the first in a wonderful series with Sydney Rye and her rescue dog Blue. She starts out as fairly normal but by the end of book 1 her life is normal no longer. She’s tough, likable, flawed and loyal. It’s a new premise that is exciting and, while not entirely realistic, you fall in love with Sydney, flaws and all … or maybe because of …
“Unleashed” is well-written w/ twists and turns and unexpected plot developments. Most of the characters have depth and complexity. (There is the greedy and lecherous TV preacher w/ his control issues and creepy leer — central casting for any person of faith these days, unfortunately.) The main character, Joy, has flaws aplenty: reactionary, …
To me this was an emotional touching murder mystery. It was scary, suspenseful, funny, exciting, sad and has a great dog. I laughed, cried and and enjoyed the start of this series of books.
Though this type of subject matter is not my usual fare, the fast paced action drew me in and I was finished with book 1 and on to book 2. This series is very enjoyable with twists and turns that keeps a reader engaged in Sidney/ Joy’s adventures and dilemmas.
I love Emily Kim Elian and she has made me fall in love with Sydney Rye. Regardless of the locale, I’m IN, ready for the ride. This book was no different. I highly recommend that you start with her first book and work your way here. Enjoy the trip
Emily Kimelman has written an interesting and intriguing novel. She develops her heroine completely, physically and psychologically. Her plot is original, starting quietly and gaining momentum. The ending is shocking.
