[Amie's Book Reviews · Rating 5 out of 5]

⚡️ Please be aware before reading this novella that it contains some graphically violent scenes that may be disturbing to some readers. "Nine Fingers: The Tucson Ripper" is (in my opinion) meant for mature readers ages 18 and up. ⚡️

❗️Right now this novella is available FREE on Amazon and Wattpad.

This is the third work of fiction by Tony Bowman that I have had the pleasure of reading and reviewing. The first was a paperback copy of "THE ROAD" which is one the best post-apocalyptic books I have ever read. If you are aware of how many books and audiobooks I read in a single year, then you will realize that for me to rate a book that highly, it has to be very special. You can read a copy of my review of THE ROAD on my blog. I also read his amazing collection of short stories published in an anthology entitled "MORGUE DREAMS AND CURIOUSER THINGS" which I also rated as 5 out of 5 stars.

There are only so many adjectives that can be used to describe any book. "Nine Fingers: The Tuscon Ripper" deserves to have every positive adjective used to describe it and possibly even have some brand new adjectives created just for it.

Here are just a few of the things I loved about this book:

~ Thrilling: this novella will get your heart pumping as you read. Will Ward be able to stop Rodrigo before another innocent victim falls prey to his bestial whims?

~ Riveting: I do not believe it is possible to put this book down once you begin reading. I read it from start to finish in a single session.

~ Intense: The action begins immediately and is non-stop.

~Great Character Building: Usually novellas do not contain enough detail for the reader to feel like they really know the characters. This is not the case with "Nine Fingers: The Tucson Ripper". Tony Bowman has done an outstanding job of making his characters seem real, therefore his readers become invested in the outcome of the story.

~ I really liked the book's ending. Not only did it neatly wrap up this portion of the story, but also created a burning desire to find out what happens next, without leaving the reader frustrated by ending the book with a cliffhanger.

I definitely HAVE TO get a copy of "NINE FINGERS" to discover the rest of Ward's story.

I rate the novella "NINE FINGERS: THE TUCSON RIPPER" as 5 out of 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Put this book on your MUST READ list right away and don't forget that you can pick up your copy right now for FREE on Amazon. Tony also has three of his works available for free on Wattpad.

A great pre-quell to Nine fingers. A short story that packs a lot of punch - non-stop action, great character building and a filling in of the background story. Loved every minute of it.

Tuscon ripper

This is a prequel that isn't getting much press, I don't know why, it's a honey of a novella. This is Ward Rickman just prior to his adventure in Nine Fingers. It was a nice read on my Sunday afternoon off. Kudos to Tony Bowman, since I've finished the first 2 Nine Fingers books, I had to buy one of his others, Vale's Hollow,to feed my hunger.

Nice!!

Very intense short story! From the very beginning it reeked me in. Towards the end I was yearning for more. I truly did not want this story to end. Anxious for more from this series.🤗

Great sample

Nice taste of Bowman's talent and his penchant for spinning a nice werewolf yarn! Makes me proud to be an Appalachian author!

Okay read

Not much to say couldn't tell one topic to the next. Not very impressed. Won't pay for the second book!
