Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2357 KP) rated The Chase (Fox and O'Hare, #2) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

FBI Agent O'Hare and wanted criminal Fox must team up to recover a stolen Chinese artifact and return it unnoticed before an international incident occurs.

The plot was quite fun and twisted in some unexpected ways. Plenty of tense moments hoping our heroes could pull off the impossible. The characters are still on the shallow side, but this book is fun, fun, fun!

NOTE: I was sent an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Stephen King, when asked in an interview, claimed Carrie is the most terrifying story he has ever written and that he will never read it again.

While I don't think Carrie is THAT terrifying, I do feel that it had its moments. Everyone is familiar with the iconic image of a girl standing in the spotlights drenched in pig's blood--but what they don't know about is what comes next. A little bit gruesome and a little bit twisted, psycho nightmare, Carrie is one book that I will never be able to forget.

OMG she did it again!? I have no idea where Aleatha gets her ideas for stories from buy my god does she give a good mindf^#ck!? This book was all I expected it to be and more... Victoria holds her own in this sick and twisted situation she has been pretty much born into and makes it out with her head held high. Had no idea where this story was going and I never it saw it coming... Incredible book, as expected.. highly recommended dark read from one of the masters of dark erotica!!

Utterly absorbing

Amazingly, Disturbingly, Darkly Delightful

A fabulously dark audio play, with brilliant actors and sound effects. Absorbing you in a disturbing series of 'recovered memories', which is married to a great storyline, all of which intertwine into an amazing tale of insane corporate malice, murder, satanism, anthropophagy, torture, sadism, and greed.
Dark, twisted, and in some places, truly disturbing, it's probably best not to listen to this right before bed. It is, however, pretty much a must listen for those who enjoy the darkest of dark fantasies.

Twisted & dark, yet still comical storyline

Brilliantly controversial

Can be a little hard to follow at timei (1 more)

The dialogue (accents) may need to be re-read a couple of times to understand

I thought this was a much stronger story than Volume 2 and carried on with the main storyline of The Seven.

It was, as always, controversial, dark yet comical and I found I couldn't put it down. There were also some very interesting new characters introduced that I hope to learn more about in the next volume.
