Broken - OK, it's too short but this short is full of intrigue, suspense and good. Add a bunch of emotions to the mix. I could not help but like Riley and I was glad she cared for Albert. Riley does not like people and she has a screw loose, or a box. Good coffee break material. I cannot fuss about the length since the story is complete. 5*

Genuinely Dangerous - How many times can a guy step in it? This is a rollercoaster ride through Hades and then some. Depravity; psychos and more sickos; twisted egos; and the list goes on. It's like watching a train wreck and you can't look away. Of course, there's humor, and bits and bobs of normalcy, but don't blink you'll miss it. This book even mentions Remo and more than likely set the foundation for the Remo Cobb series, which I enjoyed. Jesus wept. is not the shortest sentence, chapter 115 has a shorter one and it made me laugh. It's been a while since I've read this type of twisted story and it kept reminding me of a movie I had seen that could have been Ruby's family. So if you want to take a walk on a sick and twisting path, this is the book. Or if you liked Pulp Fiction, you'll like this book. 5*

Relentless - I was clueless about the storyline, so I really didn't want to read Relentless after I read the first couple of chapters. I don't care about LA, designer clothes and fancy cars; you got em, great but so what. But I've read a few books by Mr. McCrary and love his work, so I hung in there. Glad I did because the pace picked up, the plot turned intriguing and suspenseful, and the characters ranged the gamut from weak to pure evil, with plenty of manipulation from several directions. I figured out a few things, except one thing: what was actually wanted in the end by the bad guy. I want to say more, but I don't do spoilers; this is a review, not a book report. Another well written, well thought out story. 5

A short, fast-paced and easy to read story that has a surprising plot. Very well written the mystery and suspense regarding what will happen grows very fast and has an unexpected ending. Very entertaining!
I downloaded a free copy of this short story and this is my honest review.

This is the perfect short story. There was enough information to either love or hate the main character and you knew who she was immediately and it packed a huge punch. Loved it!!!
