For all the issues I've had with the Eddie LaCrosse series, I think it's safe to say that I'm a fan, both of the series and of the author. The stories are well-told, gripping, and engrossing, and even if they aren't perfect stories, they're fun reads, and that's enough for these kinds of stories....
Some surprising twists at the end, and just desserts. Overall, a very good book that left me on the edge of my seat. A great read!I purchased this book at the local Dollar Tree Store along with some other sci-fi, vampire-like books. I bought my brother a copy as well, but he has yet to read it...
While I liked the story better than that in Blood Groove, I still don't like most of the characters. I hate the main character, Baron Zginski. The one character I had grown to sort of like was horribly killed. I hated the end. I still say it's a well-written book for what it is, but it is defini...
It should have been a case like any other: a missing princess, a king willing to pay in gold for her return. But before he realizes it, private investigator Eddie LaCrosse, a slightly shopworn sword jockey with a talent for discretion and detection, is swept up in a web of mystery and deceit invo...
Tony exclaimed. Heads turned throughout Cadillac’s pool hall. I kind of slid down at our table. “A little louder, I think the folks in the restrooms missed it.” Tony was just warming up. “Ry, you’re out of your mind. You ain’t got no business getting married, we just got out of college! Besides, ...
Maybe. Or maybe not.... *** A man I’d never seen before stood outside my wife’s office in the West Tennessee University Humanities building. He was tall, portly, and had a belligerent expression firmly set on his round face. His beard seemed stretched, like it would’ve bee...
Don looked up from the floor, where he knelt as he pulled things from the closet. “Looking for my old guitar. Have you seen it?” “Lord, do we still even have that thing?” Susie put her purse on the bed and sat down to remove her shoes. Susie had been adopted from China but raised across the line ...
So was Liz; just before dawn she awoke me by draping her long bare leg over mine, while her hands brought me to life despite a colossal collection of aches and pains. Certain parts of me stirred before my consciousness, so we were actually in the midst of, ahem, battle before I was fully aware. H...
It depicted the aftermath of the Battle of Tarpolita far differently from the tapestries in Nodlon Castle. In the painting bodies covered the slope, while at the top young Marcus Drake stood leaning on the pole that bore his standard. He was realistically depicted as weary and wounded, and the su...
With nothing to do, I was aware of every … creeping … moment, and it was maddening. I tried to nap, but between anticipation of the night raid on the chapel, and the worry (okay, fear) that Ray might show up in my dreams again, that wasn’t going to happen. C.C. went off to fix the tractor, abando...
Almost at once, the road became a shattered ribbon of potholes and rippled pavement. The way the truck bounced on the uneven blacktop made Rob’s head hurt more. He tried to look at Bliss, but couldn’t keep his vision focused. Just like the Gwinns in their truck, there were two overlapping images,...
The numb places along his skin tingled now that the brace straps weren’t tied around them, but otherwise the deep, constant ache remained the same. He looked again at his watch, but it had stopped at the time of the crash; the hands under the shattered glass were frozen at 1:23 A.M. “You thinkin’...
I looked around, momentarily disoriented, then remembered I was on a pirate-hunter ship headed for the Southern Ocean, and had been for two weeks. I tossed the light blanket aside, sat up, and shook my head to clear it.In my half-awake state I’d just realized something that should have been obvio...
