About the author

I began writing at a very young age, mostly short stories and crudely drawn comic books. I completed my first book at the age of 15, the second at the age of 16. Now, a few years later my debut novel, Parabellum is my first professional publication. I look forward to publishing many more novels in the future!

vigilante serial killer with the brilliant mind teams with fbi to apprehend a serial killer. the plot is unlikely and implausible. but the vigilante is an intriguing character as is the haunted agent forced to work with him.

Good plot

The main character wasn't the person the author tried to depict. I felt that she was meant to be a strong lead and ended up being weak, scared, and dependent on others. Things were to contradictory.

I really enjoyed how Mitch developed the characters. The main character, Kellen, was not a super hero. I liked how he made her human with issues to overcome. The story itself was a quick read which I appreciate. I recommend this book and am looking forward to reading the next installment.

This was a solid suspenseful novel.

This is a great read. The pacing is great and the characters are well laid out. Sure a bit more character development would have worked but that is just my opinion. It is worth the time. It is a good book.

I really liked this book. The writing was spot on except for a few grammar errors but easily overlooked. The story flowed great and I would recommend this book.

Good read

Easy read. If you like a bad person doing good you will like the book. Can't wait to read the next.

Set in the backdrop of an fbi bau member working with a vigilante serial killer to catch another serial killer. The novella is really about how one person can affect the psyche of another. Well written but has its unbelievable points. No justice system would put a convicted murderer on the street with only a single agent to cover them! Ezra is almost Machiavellian in his thought processes. Kellen is driven by her own demons. It will be interesting to see follow up stories take this relationship.

To catch a killer

Really enjoyed reading this book. I do wish that Mitch would have delved more into the why's and minds of the serial killers. Looking forward to reading the next book and maybe getting some answers.

Three Stars

Three Stars. This story did not focus on the thoughts or feelings of the antagonist like I am used to. So it was refreshing to read. I still prefer an author who takes me into the mind of the killer.

Good book I'm looking for the next one it kept me very intrigued

[Diane Wachter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Predictable, highly unlikely story line, but suspenseful. It also leave the opportunity for numerous sequels. Reminds me a bit of the TV show Blacklist. Not great, but okay for a quick read.

[Andrew Kirkhouse · Rating 3 out of 5]

[Christine Turney · Rating 4 out of 5]
