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-publishing his books in the Kindle world. For the Kindle, his books are ridiculously inexpensive (around $0.99 to $1.99). I was surprised at what I read and hooked from the start. Unlike my other series books, however, there is a difference in the books in terms of ratings...so I have not given them the standard 4 or 5 star ratings across the entire series.First of all, the books are short but packing a powerful punch, a mixture of excellent humor (left me laughing at the insanity of what I was reading) and the grim reality of a hero who kills people. Lethal people introduces us to Creed, the business he is in, his side-kicks and his insane relationship within his own world and certainly the world most of us live in (let's just say Creed is not fit to live a normal life and does not understand it). Get ready for a roller coaster ride and, above all...enjoy! You will find that towards the end of each book you will be filled with disappointment that the ride is over...and almost certainly you will hunt down the next Donovan Creed thriller. Ok, I know, the guy is totally nuts! I'm talking about the protaganist, Donavan Creed, but I also think the author is nuts! What a series of books! This story is as insane as all the others but its so amazingly funny that you'll cheer each dead body - and there is a bunch of them. How the author can think up these story lines and keep everything together is beyond me. I just love each book and can't wait for the next one to come out. The Love You Crave refers to someone in Creed's family and its a stunner of a story line. You'll hate having to turn a page because you'll know that you're that much closer to the ending - something you'll not want to happen!
What do You think about The Love You Crave (2000)?
If you've read any Donovan Creed books, you know what this one is about. Book 8 in series.
