review 1: The following are my comments based directly on reading the story. Only brief but they sum up how I felt after reading the story:The highlights were the mystery and intrigue, the unique way the characters met and the bravery shown by the MCs - Malachi in raising his brother and Travis when he stands up to tackle the bad guys and not slink back to his rich-boy existence. I liked the Italian setting, the gangster element and the happy ending. The downside? I wanted the MCs to have more on-page interaction and Malachi's actions at the beginning weren't ideal.I was surprised to glance through other reviews of this story and see the more negative ones. I didn't read the prompt and maybe if I had, I might have responded to the story differently but I don't really think so. I lik... moreed it regardless of whether it fully addressed the photo prompt or not.
review 2: 1.5 starsI want to be supportive of new authors, I do, but what the hell happened here? Where in the prompt does it say add in espionage, blackmail, beatings, gangs, international wire transfers, and ridiculous amounts of manufactured angst? Oh, right, it DOESN'T. Indeed, the prompt states, no angst due to drugs, etc. OK, no drugs to be found, but the shit bucket was full to the brim.The relationship got buried under the absurd, nonsensical plot. I couldn't skim fast enough. There were so many dangling modifiers, my head was spinning. The MCs lie and deceive. There's no connection between them. The entire story fell flat and only served to frustrate and irritate (this reader, at least). less
