review 1: Too short. As with most of Rain's books, I wanted more. Since this isn't a subject (vampires)I usually choose to read about, those two sentences are a big compliment to the author. It was actually a compliment to his work that I downloaded it at all. I am a major fan, and have suggested him to all of my friends who, along with me, mourned the passing of Robert B. Parker. When I started reading the Knighthorse series I couldn't help thinking of how much they reminded me of the early Spenser books.
review 2: Another J.R. Rain exercise in shameless self promotion with a very slim e'book that has the first six percent dedicated to listing everything he has written (including term papers) and tons of acclaim from authors of note, then the next 67% devoted to a weak ... moresketch of a story with obvious connections between characters (no surprises in this Novella), then the remaining 27% dedicated to samples of books that currently available or coming soon. A total of fifteen books were sampled following the title story and then a final re-listing of current works. Even the dialog between the characters is trite and worn (cops live on donuts! Really?). Nothing comes close to being honest plot development. Maybe if this had been a 99 cent bargain the treatment could be forgiven but, for $2.99 for the Kindle edition from Amazon, the value shows how little J.R. Rain thinks of his readers. Mark this down as written by a huckster rather than a real writer. Do you think I'll waste time on another J.R. Rain title? About what could be expected from someone who is promoting his work, "The Vampire With The Dragon Tatoo" as an original offering! less
