About the author
Remington Kane
252 books127 followersRemington Kane is an American author that writes action-packed thrillers. The author might be unfamiliar to some people because Remington Kane is actually a pseudonym for Donald Wells.
Donald Wells has garnered a reputation for writing darker and somewhat serious novels about killers. The author was born in New Jersey. He never really left and has since made a home there. Like most of his peers, Donald Wells was an avid reader as a child.
He spent many an hour devouring every book he came across. And it wasn’t long before he began to yearn for the chance to write. Like many aspiring authors, Donald Wells knew he had the capacity to tell stories. However, he was a little hesitant to venture into such uncharted waters, not only because he didn’t know where to start with regards to writing a book but also because he didn’t have confidence in his own ability to produce compelling fiction.
Again, like most notable authors, Donald meandered about for a while. Rather than going into publishing the first chance he got, Donald tried his hand at various odd jobs. He worked as an insurance salesman, a Real Estate Sales person, and even a Retail manager.
The jobs, though seemingly meaningless in the grand scheme of things, did wonders for the author’s writing capabilities. Whether he was driving trucks or cleaning floors, Donald gained insight into the workings of the world.
He met unexpected people and heard their intriguing stories. He came across numerous strange encounters and even participated in some of them. He essentially dipped into so many unique aspects of life that it came as no surprise that he had more than enough stories rattling around his head when it finally came time to write his first novel.
Not that many authors can claim to have been offered a chance to act as bodyguard to a drug dealer. Since getting his first book sold, though, Donald has finally settled in his career. The author loves writing novels and there is nothing he else he would rather be doing. The fact that he has found a way to make money out of his passion makes him one of the luckier individuals in the world.
By the time Donald Wells began writing as Remington Kane, he had already become established as a novelist with numerous thrillers under his name. However, writing as Remington practically took over his life.
This is because Donald has achieved more success writing as Remington Kane than he did producing novels under his real name. Kane is best known for the Tanner series of novels. Tanner is a hit man who accepts a job to take out a mob boss.
When he is betrayed and thrown into prison, Tanner thinks of little else besides getting revenge. And once he finally gets his freedom, the hit man becomes a one man army, engaging in a brutal way against a crime organization known as the Conglomerate.
Each new book sees Tanner raising the stakes by finding a new target that will sting the Conglomerate in ways they couldn’t possibly fathom.
Remington Kane has been praised for the Tanner novels because Tanner is such a refreshing hero. The protagonist is so average physically, devoid of the exaggerated traits that most action heroes seem to bear. If not for his natural fighting and survival instincts, one would be hard pressed to tell Tanner apart from any other ordinary man on the street.

Monsters (Detective Pierce #1) by Remington Kane is a great and unusual serial killer/detective story. This is the first story I have read by this author and and enjoyed it. It was quirky and interesting.

This is a great KU library read and series opener. Detective Pierce and his partner take on an attempted kidnapping case and soon realize they are looking for a serial killer, or more precisely, a team of killers who have avoided detection for years. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next book.

Good characters
I liked the fact that the hero is some what damaged as much or more than the villains. You know that the villains will get caught, but how is the interesting part.

Great murder mystery by Remington Kane. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. As always, David Stifel does a great job with the narration. I've listened to quite a few of his narrations and they are always great!

Full review here in my blog: http://onenovelconcept.blogspot.com/2...
Synopsis: Consisting of a series of six short stories we learn about two killers, Dave and Jack, that schedule a "boy's night out" every couple of weeks where they hunt down and kill women. Things seem to be going well for the boys until one of the women escape, and Dave ends up killing his boss in a moment of passion. It is the combination of these two events that ultimately result in their demise.
My review: I have to say that the cover alone is one of the most disturbing images I have ever seen. I didn't quite feel the character development in this book as I did in the Taken series but still very well written, I mean I read this entire book in about three hours (one good thing about being sick over the weekend, plenty of reading time). I will say Donald Wells writes serial killers so well that he actually has me wondering about him.
What I love about the way the author writes these short stories is that each story has its own climax. They are not written as chapters, it is almost like you can read them independently of each other and still enjoy the story itself. I will definitely be checking out the next box set when it is written and released.
My rating: 7
Pages: 140

First read of this series and found to be totally different one than expected. Similar to others by Kane in its style and details but not sure yet where this character is going. I definitely plan to continue forward in the series as it made good entertainment.
