This may be short, but it is packed with action and danger.
Uh oh.
The streets of Cleveland are way too quiet, as Officers Blake and Max patrol the streets. All my senses are on high alert.
Then…all hell breaks loose. Officers are down and it is a blood bath.
Blake may have volunteered for a suicide mission, but he had no doubt it was the right thing to do. Imagine, working undercover work with the most dangerous man in the city, then going to your day job as a cop, knowing they want you dead. What ...more

I've enjoyed all of Ms. Fey's books, and "30 Seconds" was one of my favorites, so I was particularly interested in seeing what she came up with as a prequel to that story. She did a terrific job setting up the story and taking us right to the point where "30 Seconds" begins, so much so that I'm tempted to read that one all over again to refresh my memory.
But I'm sorry to say I didn't find the writing in this book to be as engaging as in her earlier works. It felt like she made a conscious effor ...more

This is the prequel to 30 Seconds in this one we follow Blake Herro a cop with the Cleveland Police Force who is determined to find out who killed 10 cops and bring the bad guys down what he didn't count on was going undercover with the Mob.
After reading 30 seconds it's interesting to see what happened before those events and how Blake dealt with the cop murders. Definitely caught my attention this was a great novella that delved on the mob and Blake getting close to them. Can't wait to see wha ...more

Another exciting, action packed thriller by author Chrys Fey. Edge of the seat, undercover work keeps the suspense going throughout this novella. The only time we don't feel tension is when hunky detective Blake Herro is having a shot of bourbon. Although this was published after 30 Seconds, you can read it as a stand alone. Enjoy.

This an intense crime/thriller story involving murderous mobsters and a cop who wants to turn things around so that fewer of his men fall. This short piece doesn't compromise character development.
