Mr. McCane

This is the last book in this emotional roller coaster of a series. Although it was 614 pages, It didn’t feel like it. The book is dark, very dark. I remember only one scene that wasn’t, but it was right after a mass killing so…With that being said, I have such a love/hate relationship with Rin. Just so you know, you will not laugh once while reading this book (not if you’re normal), and you’ll probably end up being frustrated with Rin a lot. Overall, I really enjoyed the series. I will probably think of Rin for years to come. Here is my breakdown.

The Poppy War: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Dragon Republic: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2

The Burning God: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The entire series: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I Love R.F. Kuang

I Love Kitay

I Love/hate Rin

Let me start by saying, S.A. Cosby does it again. This is a quick audiobook, 4 hours and 9 minutes. This book is about three hustles who are in possession of a bad of money. The money belongs to a Russian mob boss. And yes, all kinds of stuff goes wrong. I didn’t immediately take to it because it felt corny, and one character (Digit) was annoying. But that quickly changes and the writing dramatically improves. I was hooked. If you’re looking for something quick, action packed, and feel like a movie, look no further. The actors did amazing. An easy 4 stars. I recommend it!

This book was right on time. I just started writing a crime thriller novel and I’m finishing up on the first draft of my memoir. Walter Mosley addressed what I needed help with, but more importantly, motivated the hell out of me. I will take everything I’ve learned and apply it. Outstanding book. It was short and to the point. No complaints.

I try my hardest to give honest reviews of everything I read, even if it’s from my favorite author. If you know me, I’m a huge fan of S.A. Cosby and have rated none of his books less than four stars. That changes today. The only thing I enjoyed about the book was the plot.

A pastor dies from an alleged suicide. Suspecting murder, some church members hire an ex-cop to investigate. There’s action, violence, murder, and everything else I love about his books.

So what’s the problem you may ask?

Now, this might be odd for some women who think all men are alike, but hear me out. The protagonist who is an ex-cop spoke and behaved like a juvenile. His attitude towards women was stereotypical of men. Most of us don’t talk like this. The author overly sexualize every female character in this book. It’s pretty cringy, and I absolutely hated it. It occurred too often and took away from the story. For the people thinking I’m describing smut, I’m not. Just creepy juvenile BS. I almost DNF’d several times because of it. It made the plot take a hit. The only reason I kept reading was because I knew it was his first novel. I repeatedly had to tell myself that this is the guy who wrote Razorblade Tears, All the Sinners Bleed, and Blacktop Wasteland. I’m still a huge fan and can’t wait for King of Ashes. With all that be being said, I’m giving this book three stars, and it's clearly my least favorite.
