Historia
Baxter Zevcenko's life is pretty sweet. He's making a name for himself as the kingpin of his smut-peddling high school syndicate, the other gangs are staying out of his business, and he's dating the girl of his dreams, Esme. But when Esme gets kidnapped, things start to get seriously weird, and the only man drunk enough to help is a bearded, booze-soaked, supernatural bounty hunter who goes by the name of Jackson "Jackie" Ronin.

Teenage outcast's fantasy in novel form
Revisado: 07-18-24
The poor, misunderstood misfit has secret superpowers that let him save the world. All the kids who picked on him will be sorry! The girl who left him will definitely realise how secretly cool and heroic he is and then want to have sex with him! The grownups just don't understand, but they'll have no choice but to bow down before the hero's awesome coolness!
Ugh. I'm glad I didn't spend money on this trash. Too bad I'll never get back the time I wasted with this.

Historia
A deadly virus has broken out in Washington State. The standard procedures of quarantine and prescribed medical therapies have no effect. Victims are dying in only a few days. And 12 cases today will be 30,000 tomorrow - a replicator run that will put the entire United States at risk for destruction. Devin Parks is a reporter on the edge. Since his marriage crashed, chasing news seems pointless...until he realizes the devastating consequence of the outbreak.

Boring, Predictable, Obnoxious
Revisado: 03-16-24
There is a chance this could have been an interesting story in the hands of a better writer, but Rainer Rey is not a good writer. The descriptions read like stage directions from a middle school drama class. The dialogue was tedious. The characters were a mix of teenage boy fantasies and flat stereotypes.
If that wasn't bad enough, everything is soaked in racism, sexism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and narrow-minded hatefulness.

Tucked away in a high-tech Tactical Operations Center, inside an isolated safehouse in the Horn of Africa, sits Agency analyst Zack Altringham. He is Kenyan-born, Princeton-educated, badly burnt-out - and condemned by his language and cultural skills to a lifetime of fighting America's shadow counter-terror wars.

Racist military fawning
Revisado: 12-10-23
The author seems to be working through some serious issues of inadequacy. This book is so disgustingly racist, mysoginistic, and colonialist that I couldn't finish. Every character who is a member of the American or British military is described like a god; anyone else is pathetic scum. There is no redeeming quality of the writing: ad dialogue, repetetive action, trite descriptions. It's definitely worth what I paid for it, which was nothing.

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read
Revisado: 10-22-23
The heroine is a textbook Mary Sue; the dialogue is atrocious; the very thin plot reads like a 12 year old's school assignment; the only redeeming quality was that this was short.
The narrator was bad but not the worst I've heard.

Historia
Top three reasons why sleeping with the enemy is a bad idea.... She's my fiercest rival. She's also my fiery ex. We're going up against each other in a stiff competition to win the hottest new client on the market. And yet, I'd like to be up against the wall in a stiff competition to get her to call out my name. Time to double down on my resistance to her tough-as-nails, take-no-prisoners, sexy-as-sin attitude. The same attitude I find irresistible.

Revisado: 08-20-23
I could not finish because I hated these insufferable characters. The writing is terrible. Everything is a trope from a bad porn film.
The narrators were fine, but I'm sorry they wasted their time on this dreck.

A thoroughly unlikable main character who rapes a 13 year old girl and brushes it off as "oops, I guess that was marginally unacceptable."

Historia
When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed. Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her, and hers towards him. And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

Absolutely awful
Revisado: 07-28-21
This book has no redeeming qualities. Obnoxious characters, no real plot, trite dialogue, physical and sexual abuse treated like foreplay, and did I mention the obnoxious characters?
Even listening on 1.25 speed, the narrator dragged. Susannah Jones may be a good reader when presented with good material, but this isn't it.
How do I get my money back from Audible?

Historia
Sameerixis, or Sam for those who actually know him, isn’t what you’d call normal. He’s a door-to-door salesman, of sorts. One that peddles wares, wishes, and whims to anyone willing to pay his prices. Prices that usually involve a few years of your life, maybe a handful of days, or a single night of pleasure that’ll cost a few hours. He’s an incubus that solves problems. Mental, emotional, spiritual, material, and anything and everything in between. Sam can provide an answer and resolution.

Rape is NOT Sexy
Revisado: 07-20-21
I wasn't expecting much from this story, but I definitely expected consent. The main character coerces women to join his "feed harem" by threatening them with death or hell if they don't agree. When they are in the harem, he forces them to have sex with each other as punishment, despite sexual preference or physical exhaustion.
The other plotline (a member of the harem creates a Robin Hood style troupe of kick-ass supernatural women) had the potential to be interesting and fun. But every time the characters start doing anything, the main character interrupts them to demand sex.
And they're not even good sex scenes!

Zombies or Predators?
Revisado: 09-26-20
The author is still stuck on the idea that anyone outside the military is useless, helpless, or complicit. This is a theme I've noticed in several of his books, and it's getting really tiresome. Military personnel are infinitely capable and almost always heroic. Police and fire fighters are acceptable stopgaps if the military needs more bodies. Everyone else is completely ignorant, selfish, cowardly, weak, or all of the above.
Women in the military, if they even exist in Nicholas Smith's books, are adequate computer technicians (nothing too complicated, leave the real IT to the menfolk), medics (usually nurses or so specialized as to be useless), subordinate scientists, or secretaries. Inevitably, they will need rescuing and cost precious resources. Civilian women can do nothing but cry over their broken nails.
When the characters are so flat and predictable, the plot becomes pretty flat and predictable as well.

Historia
Amp Anthony is strong-willed, ruggedly handsome, and has a body that women will pay just to look at. He is also a recently freed felon. It's not easy to make things whole again under the rules of the halfway house to which he's been released, especially since his parole officer would like nothing more than to send him back to prison. Amp is bound and determined to make sure that will never happen. Like most felons, Amp has a hell of a time finding and keeping a job because of his record. When all else fails, he uses his body, letting women look for a price.

Good premise, terrible writing
Revisado: 09-25-20
This story had the potential to be really interesting, but it is ruined absolutely awful writing. Not only is everything reduced to awkward exposition, but that exposition is then repeated over and over again. The main character could have been sympathetic, well-rounded, demonstrating growth and development... but the author keeps stepping in to slap the reader with an explanation of why he is sympathetic and well-rounded and then to spell out all the ways his outlook has changed. And it didn't actually change. The moral awakening or whatever you want to call it happens before the book even starts.
Ellis Park has a lovely voice, though. To be honest, listening to him speak was the only reason I finished this book. I put it on in the background while working or driving so I could hear his voice without having to listen to the story.
