Action!
Okay, I haven’t read any books from the Warriors Series Thrillers. I purchased this series of mini-thrillers to give the series a try (and because they were affordable).
This is the second mini-thriller that I’ve read and I am definitely enjoying them. So far, I think they are fantastic!
They are filled with action from the beginning page and the action doesn’t stop. There’s plenty of suspense and mystery and the ending closes with a Big Bang of a solution.
I am happily giving this story five stars ✨.

“Book #3, in the Warriors shorts
This 3rd novella is a fast-paced adventure filled with action introducing two wonderful characters Bear and Chloe. These two have charmed and entertained us numerous times in the main series “The Warriors”. It was nice to see where they came from, how they met and when they joined the elite group lead by Zeb Carter.
Bear is hired to protect a high profile criminal, a routine job….or so he thought. Excellent storyline of only 56 pages, packed with never ending action, suspense galore….and of course captivating to no end. Mr. Patterson knows how to tell a story in ways that can only hold us captive till the last page. This novella compliments beautifully the main series.
I never was one for short stories till I received novellas from Mr. Patterson they are tremendously well-done…….

Another great addition to the Warriors Shorts series. In this book we get to know more about Bear. He's been hired to guard Cardovo, who was a bookkeeper for the Los Angeles Zetas (a criminal gang). However, some how the bad guys keep finding out where they are. There is lots of action packed into this short story with a surprise twist.

Once again an awesome short from Ty. This time we get the same explosion of action but also more background on Bear and Chloe. Make ut a point to these shorts as they are top notch !

So big that you miss the Shadow!
Eleven year old Anele robs The Watcher to pay off the murderous gang who is harassing his family. Big mistake! Now he has to contend with the mysterious Watcher, and face off the murderous gang. All by himself. The Watcher does nothing but sit in a park in Cape Town all day and watch life go by. Anele knows everything about him because he has been keeping tabs on The Watcher. He intends to steal from the man and pay off a gang but there is one problem with his plan. The Watcher is the wrong man to rob. Now he has to contend with the mysterious Watcher, and face off the murderous gang. All by himself.
What did I like? I think if you have ever read any of my reviews, you know by now I tell it like it is and how I see it. This is one of the best series that I have ever read. At this time in our country so much is going on that we all need something to take us up out of the dreary! This series will do that. I love the purity of the help that is given by Zeb Carter and his team, no matter which ones it is. Every one of them are trained with the experience to back up what they do and they don’t take guff. The series is built around the positive factor that they will help no matter what the situation is, national, international, drugs, children, murder, missing, or anything that needs to be done. They work together like a well-oiled machine and each one matches the other’s strengths and weakness. Oh, what am I saying, they don’t have any weaknesses! LOL
What are you going to like? Even though this is a short story that can be read rather quickly, it will keep your attention because of all the action and the fact that it concerns the kidnapping of kids. No one likes for that to happen. You will like the method of the group in dealing with the kidnappers and love the outcome. Nothing is better than when the bad guys get their butts kicked in such a glorious way!
Every one of the stories in this series is dealing with something that is extremely bad and I for one love the way that the group works in getting the jobs done so that the underdogs come out on top!!!!!

Winner story
Again Ty Patterson has written a winner. This is Bear's and Chloe's story. Tyler Patterson's Warrior series is outstanding. There is so much suspense and action in his Warrior series that I cannot put them down until the story is finished.

These monthly novellas are treats to the reads heart. Fans of Ty Patterson have to love his character Zeb Carter and his associates. We got a glimpse into another one of those specially chosen few in his inner circle and those who work with him. Bear. The name says a lot. He is a bear of a man with protective skills rivaled by perhaps only one other man. Zeb himself. On a mission with Bear, we learn about him, his time with Zeb, and another person who you need to read about.
If I were in a situation, trying to stay alive to testify against a wily, deadly gang, I'd want Bear as my protector. You will too after you read this one.
I voluntarily reviewed this advanced reader copy and I have not been compensated in any way.

I'm loving these novellas that give us back story on each Warrior member. This is Bears story and you don't want to miss this. These short stories just make us appreciate each warrior more as we read the novels in which they are an active part.

The Shadow. TY Patterson
This book is a prequel to Bear and Chile joining forces with Zeb Carter. This is an extremely fast paced adventure, brimming or rather overflowing with action. Bear is protecting an informant. But, is his clients really who he says he is? Tremendous read!
