[Porsha · Rating 1 out of 5]

If you like shows like Cocaine Cowboys and Narcos then this short story may be for you. Escobar’s revenge is a story about a guy named Esco who hates snitches, one in particular Hector. You know what they say snitches get stitches, zipped in body bags, and found in ditches.

*The 1 star rating was given because there were grammatical errors, the story development could have been better, and for a short story it seemed rush. It was also hard to grasp the context of some of the events that happened in the story.

Starts and ends fast. Wish there was more.

This was a real quick read. Right into the action. You quickly pick up on Escobar as a no nonsense kind of guy. It's like a prequel to a longer book that will take place at a later date. On to the next one. Pick this book up.

This is an ebook short story that left me with questions, and just when I got into it... it was over.

I’m going to do some research and find out if another book by @authorstanleyjamesii is related.

Stay tuned.

Escabar's Revenge definitely grabbed my attention. The story ends with a cliffhanger. So I'm hoping more of this story is coming soon. I enjoyed reading this book and the authors (Stanley E. James ll & Keshia. Williams) are new to me.

This novella gave us just enough to pull us in, but not so much that we were overwhelmed. The characters were solid. The plot was clear. I think that it's so difficult, as I've said many times before, to truly develop characters and a plot in a novella. While I was able to discern what was going on with the story, I would have loved a little more development with the characters. I understand this is setting up a possible series, but I would have loved just a little more. For that reason alone, I rounded up my 3.5 to a 4-star rating. The anticipation is there for me and that's always a good sign.
My original rating was due to the few grammatical errors and the flow of a few passages. There were times when I felt the way a sentence was structured made the writing come off as stilted when it should have been intense. At any rate, this story moved quick, smooth and left me waiting for the sequel.
