A picture is worth a thousand words... And a million tears...

Doc has finally gotten Adrian Gionta’s scent, and he won’t stop until he catches his prey. Gionta is far more than a painter of souls though, and he’s had plenty of time to prepare for the oncoming storm that is Doc Holliday. It will take more than a mere mortal to save the thousands of people trapped in Gionta’s paintings. Thankfully, Doc’s no mere mortal... but will even he be enough...

Fans of edgy characters look no further! If you're into badass, morally ambiguous, anti-heroes who don't flinch at killing bad guys (and stealing their souls) then this is the series for you! It has the perfect blend of supernatural action, humor, and mystery that you crave.

Hi, I'm M.M. Crumley Your Author Extraordinaire (Also Known as M.M. Boulder)

As M.M. Crumley I write Urban Fantasy books full of supernatural action, nail-biting-mystery and; laugh-out-loud humor. Why? Because stories, myths, and legends have always been a huge part of my life... As a child, I liked nothing better than to lose myself in a world where magic and heroes were part of the fabric of existence.

As my pen name M.M. Boulder I write psychological thrillers and murder mysteries that bring the darker impulses we may not feel completely comfortable with into the light. My stories are full of lies and deaths, but there is always justice. A type of justice that's not afraid to get its hands dirty. I write morally ambiguous characters who are pushed to their limits and take matters into their own hands. In my world getting away with murder has never been so much fun!

No matter what I write every one of my characters are real to me. They exist. They are three-dimensional beings who demand that their stories be told. If I were to turn away from them, they would haunt me; and so I don't. Instead I chase after them and write down everything they say!

I have several series to help you scratch your itch for adventure:
THE HOUSE OF GRAVES Series
THE IMMORTAL DOC HOLLIDAY Series
THE LEGEND OF ANDREW RUFUS Series
JANEY FALKE: SAINT KILLER Series (Coming Soon)
Five Deliciously Dark Psychological Thriller Novels
And More...

I don't normally read serialized books due to the commitment needed. That isn't the case with Doc Holliday. I have enjoyed every book in this series and its companion series Andrew Rufus.
It is easy to become attached to the characters and share in their triumphs and hard ships. As Doc finds out, you can't save all the people but you can save some and make their lives better. A good message for everyone.

Excellent

This is one of my favorite series of books. It is super well written and the story line is awesome. I never know where it is headed. I love the characters. They are dynamic, passionate, fascinating and unique. The story line always carries an underlying theme of justice, compassion and truth.

Another great book!!!

If you have not read the series, start with the first book. They are all great and will pull you in to Doc's world. Love this series. As soon as a new one comes out, I have to read it even if I am in the middle of another book.

Why are these books...

Why are these books so darn good? Time just gets away from you when you are lost among the pages of the story. I insist that you get a copy and indulge for yourself. Highly recommend.

Ok but..

This book seemed to ramble and just be filler....nothing stands out for Docs adventures. Maybe I missed something? I don't think you really need to read it ad the new "bad guy" is bought in near the end. Nothing like previous books.

Doc is still Doc

The series continues but how much longer? At times this felt like a collection of mini adventures adventures for Doc but continues his story well.
