From Manhattan with Love

Fifth Avenue #3

by Christopher Smith

Stephen King: "Put me down as an enthusiastic Christopher Smith fan. Smith is a cultural genius.

Chaos. Murder. Love. Revenge. And redemption.

In this taut, 35,000-word novella, both women come together in an explosive story that threatens each of their lives, particularly when one woman breaks her own rules and dares to fall in love. In "From Manhattan with Love," she soon learns what she always feared. When it comes to real danger, there's nothing more dangerous than love itself.

Can’t wait till it’s over

[Yvette P Carter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good

Extremely short. As soon as it gets good it's over though the read was well worth the quickness and it did provide needed interest to continue to the full length next book.

Excellent series! Can not wait to read the next one!

Another great adventure by Christopher Smith. His characters become real in the pages of the story. My only disappointment was that the ending came too quickly. I could have stayed in this book a lot longer. As in Fifth Avenue and Running with the Bulls, Christopher Smith's storyline and characters are so believeable that the reader is immersed in the action and it is a shock when you arrive at the final page. . . I can't wait for the next installment1

I really enjoyed the first book of this series - the second book not so much (too much obsession with underground sex clubs). This novella started off well - but to me it didn't finish - there were too many characters. I wish the author would have focused on just one plot line, and other than the beginning he never did mention Spocatti's character again. To me - this should have not been a separate book but the start of the 4th one.

Well on a positive note, it is short

This novella has two things going for it. The story is short and therefore more to the point, and therefore more of a page turner. Secondly the characters seems more believable and without clutter. But I don't think that New York has ever been bombed as much as it is in this series.

Assassins Carmen and Alex ,are each hired to kill the other. Instead they join together and kill the head of the syndicate. Alex proclaiming his love for Carmen. It takes awhile for Carmen to love freely. Its a story of the rich using assassins to move up in power, money and into elite circles.

very short

[Cindy Skiles · Rating 4 out of 5]

Way too short! I wanted more!!! I am anxiously looking forward to the next "Fifth Avenue" book. It can't come soon enough for me!

[Lisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

I know it was just a novella, a prequel to the next in the series, but it was just too short. So there wasn't enough story line to grab me.

[S.E. Nelson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This story grabbed my attention right away. I loved the characters and the action. The twist at the end was unexpected. However the story ended abruptly. Too short but engaging.

[B K · Rating 3 out of 5]

not the best of the series. its a short easy read.

[Trish Bodine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent series. Thank you, Christopher Smith! This is not a genre I typically devout, but these were well written with just the right amount of suspense.

[Bonnie · Rating 2 out of 5]

[Kathy Neff · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just wanted more!! :-)

[Val · Rating 5 out of 5]

Only one problem with this book - its too short!!! I knew it was a novella, but it grabbed my attention and left we needing more! Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

[Gary · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn't realize that this was a novella. Was a little disappointed that it ended so quickly, but it still was as good as the first two books in the series.

[Vicki · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was somewhat disappointed that this was released as a novella instead of a complete novel, but other than that, it was another great read by Christopher Smith!

[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was very good but I think I was supposed to read two other books first...oh well!

[B · Rating 3 out of 5]

I know it is a novella, but was it supposed to end mid-sentence to add suspense? Or was my electronic copy faulty? Either way, great story...just confused.

[Elaine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Page turner, but what does Mr. Smith do. Great book, a must read.

[Angela Lyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Novella was great but it was too short just like everyone said. Looking forward to reading book 4 & 5 in the series.

[Andrea Miles · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this a lot more than he previous two, being a novella it wasn't as wordy but the characters seemed a little less two dimensional

[Janell Barney · Rating 3 out of 5]

I expected this book to sort of tie up lose ends that were left in books 1 and 2, but it didn't. I got the first 3 books for free from Amazon, not sure whether I want to pay for book 4 or not.

[Liquid Frost · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just a quick little read. Good if you have read the previous two books.

[stan · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a find a fast moving thriller if you like an anti-hero (heroine) this for you great work

[Robert Bannon · Rating 5 out of 5]

great pacing. grabs your interest immediately and never lets go. Great entertainment. Just try the first page and stop reading - it's like trying to only eat one chip....
