Coffee Break Bundle Espresso
Take a break - your Espresso shot of three dark humor satirical short reads exposes “the dark side of fame and fortune” and the twisted lives of three anti-heroes. A depraved entrepreneur. The sleazy side of the Ad game. A scandal-mongering paparazzo. And the murderous ways of a beautiful, but obnoxious, prima donna.
In Lord of the Stings , Dave Skinner, a cockney Rock Star and nowadays wealthy entrepreneur, plots to scam a knighthood in this satirical take on fame, power, and the British establishment.
In Survival of the Slickest , Andi has worked his way to the top in the Advertising game, only to discover that's what it really is. A game. That's the day when he's asked to leave his ego at the door on his way out!
In Paparatz , Tayla is the famously beautiful Aussie supermodel from hell who suddenly finds herself in a jam in the fashionable end of London. Does this mean a dead-end for her career, or worse, prison? And can she escape the clutches of Mr Starfucker, King Rat of the paparazzi?
Dark humor quick reads for 3 or more coffee breaks – for readers who love badass celebrity, scandals and thrillers with sharp dialogue and compelling plots! Not for the faint-hearted!

This very interesting collection of three short stories was a great way to spend an hour. The first story, Get a Life, was about the frustration a young athlete that's more accurate than you might think. The second story, Trying it On at Monika Fang's was about a young woman given money by her boss to go out and get a fancy dress I wish this one was longer! I really want to know what happens next! Third and final story, Trapped in Cuckoo Land, was about a young woman who gets an amazing offer for a weekend away in Spain. I liked this one, I could definitely read a longer version on this one too.
Jinx James is very talented and to be able to flesh out characters and write a complete engaging story in a few words is proof of that.

No laughs, no smiles, this wasn’t dark humor. This was lacking humor. I guess if you find misogyny funny, it might be a little funny. And; claimed to be edited but plenty of misspells and typos throughout the stories.

It was ok
It was a quick read. It wasn't what I expected. The stories were ok. Nothing special. Maybe I will like the next one better.

Not my usual reading choice. I did not get the humor but they were good quick stories which is what I was looking for to pass the time.

Offbeat and twisted but no comedy
Three (or was it four) short stories that were somewhat boring and really not all that good. I did not enjoy this much.
