I had the pleasure of being a beta-reader for this book. It's an anthology of three stories. Two short stories. One novella. Amazing for a debut author!
Story 1, The Transaction- This one is about a highly decorated police chief, Carson, interrogating a suspect for a murder and a number of serious assaults. The suspect asks for him specifically. Will not speak to anyone else. Without spoiling too much, as it's a short story, Carson quickly realizes that the suspect knows his deepest darkest secret. The story moves rapidly, Almanza grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go until the very end leaving you gasping! And the twist! Wow.
Story 2, Martyr, this one is a novella, therefore a lot longer. It's almost like an epic condensed into 150 or so pages. But wow. As a middle-aged woman, I feared it was too macho and action-orientater for me at first, but as the story progressed, I fell in love with it and the characters. Strong good and evil themes, gave me Book of Eli vibes. Pacing was amazing and brilliantly complex and interesting characters. I could quite easily see this being made into a movie one day.
Story 3, Sleepers- This one is a gritty, realistic thriller. No supernatural elements. Very fast paced and action-packed, but again, complex and fleshed out characters. The twists and turns, you won't see coming and will leave your head spinning! My only issue is I wish it had been longer! Though the ending does leave it open for a sequel.Rusted Hearts: An Anthology
