Enjoyed this book a real page turner, look forward to reading more by this author
I liked it. I didn’t want to put it down. But…the ending was abrupt and left me with questions. It felt like I had to get the next book to figure out what just happened. I personally don’t like series books that don’t stand alone.
At first thought this was a wired book due to names and what the beginning was but once you get into the characters I had to finish readin and ordered the series to finish all of what happens
I couln’t put it down!
Kept my turning the pages to see what would happen next!
Was not sure what to expect from this first time author with such a weird title. Did enjoy this mystery in spite of the title.
Not the best, but good read for FREE…..If you can get it for FREE, give it a read…suspenseful.
He sees a strange man in a booth in a bar turn water into wine and joins him. The mysterious man tells him not to go to Dallas. But he does anyway.
Fast paced mystery when this corporate man finds his pregnant wife missing. Characters come out of nowhere chasing him. Blood flows.
Heskett was a new author for me. I look forward to reading more from him.
This book kept me so interested that I bought the next book keep the suspense alive. Illusive characters who engage the reader but do not explain their motives
Just not for me. After a few pages I just gave up.
Poor, was bored after about 30%. Unrealistic p.lot
Kept me wondering what and why these things were happening. Did not see the end coming. Will have to read the next books to find out more.
Tucker Candle, a technology trainer, meets Kareen, a man he does not know, in a bar. Kareen knows his name, the company he works for, and the fact that his wife Grace is pregnant. He warns Candle not to go to Dallas because if he does, he will meet a very evil man and bad things would start to happen. He tells Candle that it would better if he just moves out of the country. His company, IntelliCraft, is moving from Denver to Dallas and hiring all new people. His Denver boss tells him he has to go to Dallas to train the new hires. Candle does go to Dallas and meets with Wyatt, the head of IntelliCraft, telling Wyatt he will not leave Denver to go to Dallas. When he meets the new trainees, he wonders which of them is the evil man Kareen warned him about. He thinks he knows and his conclusion turns out to be true. While in Dallas, Candle cannot reach his wife to speak to her but does get some texts from her which do not make much sense. He does the training and returns to Denver, cannot find his wife, and murders start to happen all around him. He finally figures out what is happening but then the book ends. I was disappointed with the ending because too many loose ends were left unsolved and the reader is told to go to the next book in the trilogy. The pace of the action is very fast and the reader gets to feel sorry for Candle and his predicaments. I can only recommend this book with reservations about the next parts of the trilogy. Will all the questions I still have be finally answered or will I be told that I have to get the next book and then the next?
I wasn’t pleased with this book. It seemed very gruesome, and I never could figure out what it was all about. About half way through, I finally put it aside.
Left the reader hanging. What was it all for??
