I downloaded this book because it it was free and I was looking for a good mystery on the kindle store. I didn't particularly get along with the style if writing at first but the story seemed promising so I carried on.Dani Ripper is a detective, but doesn't really come across as one. She's a youn...
Saving Rachel is not the type of book I typically read, but I am expanding my horizons. I am reviewing this book for what it is and not allowing my preference for other types of novels to skew my review.Saving Rachel was a decent thriller; it was fast paced and easy read (if read without large t...
I got this book on the 99 cent special from Kindle as well. I sort of enjoyed it in spite of myself. Donovan Creed still has some quasi-connection to Homeland Security, which keeps him from being in lethal trouble.[return][return]It's a little bit like "Dexter" in that this is a person who does...
I read this book after reading the first two Dani Ripper books and realizing that I was missing quite a bit of backstory. Donovan makes an appearance in one of the Dani books that I read so I'm hoping to find it here. All of Locke's character's inside jokes and histories are really annoying but...
La primera novela de John Locke venía avalada por haber vendido un millón y pico de copias digitales en Amazon. Para que algo así no volviera a suceder, la editorial española fijó un precio de diez putos euros en la edición electrónica y catorce en la de papel. Muy inteligente por su parte. Ahora...
I really loved this book. The only reason I give it a 4 instead of a 5 is that I view this from pure entertainment instead of the absolute best writing in the world. I believe I finished it in a blink of the eye. Donovan Creed takes a job in Las Vegas as a hit man to ultimately try to gain some...
I liked the first John Locke book I read and this one started out well, but the experiment part of the plot somehow got lost midway through and then the book became a bit fragmented and episodic with assassinations that seemed to have no relation to the lethal experiment plotline. It did refer ba...
Continuing with my pursuit of the lone Hero (see reviews for Joe Pike novels, John Rain novels, and Jack Reacher novels) Donovan Creed is probably the most unique character I came across.I'd never heard of John Locke until I received my Kindle DX in the mail. Locke made his fame and fortune self...
I could appreciate this entertaining tale, but it really was not my cup of tea. I love a good Western but this was more of a parody of a Western--noir Western, I believe they are called. The hero was kind of cool but some of the sillier stuff in the story just left me cold. I didn't hate it and...
This fast paced Western was pure escapist joy to read. I loved it from start to finish. Seriously, Emmett Love is a great character. Shrug and Gentry and Phoebe and witchy Rose -- I love 'em all. I immediately bought the next one in the series. I've been disappointed by several ebooks recently. (...
This is my 2nd book by John Locke. I didn't like this one as much as the other one I read where Dani Ripper was the main character. In the beginning of this book, based on the description of Dr. Gideon Box, I thought the book would be about revenge. It took a completely different turn and didn't ...
There's been a lot of chatter about this book since it came out. I mean, John's success is undeniable. What author wouldn't want to replicate his results? Still, I wasn't convinced that his way of doing things would work for me. But like hundreds of other writers, I purchased the book because, he...
Snappy no nonsense advice for writers trying to crack into Amazon's stratosphere as they slog through the basement of their publishing dreams.I've heard many of tips that John endorses from other authors who have already plowed this ground -- finding your niche , blogging, setting goals, tweetin...
He gasps, closes his eyes, shakes his head, mortified.Sherry hasn’t seen us yet, but notices her lover has stopped in mid-thrust.“Everything okay back there, hon?” she says. “You’re not done, are you?”I say, “If Felix is in there, you’ve probably subdued him by now. Step away, and we’ll help you ...

A skilled Time Saver can freeze all the components of an event—the date, mood, time, temperature, lighting, sights, sounds, scents, the breeze—everything. Then we park this information in a corner of our brains and relive it whenever we...
15. I’M NOT ALONE. There are seven of us standing around Kimberly’s hospital bed, waiting for her to regain consciousness. We’re told that could happen at any minute, and I’m concerned she’ll see me and say something like, “Dad!” that could make it harder for me to get her out of here and have he...
“There goes your first line of defense,” she says. “Now all that’s between your body and my mouth is your underwear.”“What if someone walks over to the car?” I say. “Or pulls up beside us?”“That won’t happen.”“Why not?”“People around here carry guns. You sneak up on another car, you’re begging fo...
“THE MOMENT OF truth!” Callie says, as we enter the room. “Are you ready?” “Are you kidding? I’ve been ready for ten years!” She laughs. “You’ve only known me for eight.” “Yeah, but I spent two years dreaming about meeting someone like you.” “And now you have. What’s left unsaid? Anything?” “Just...
