A psychopath is on the loose and hunting.
Jack Harden was driving his cherry red Freightliner Truck down I-10 doing a turn and burn to Slidell. He was listening to his favorite song, Jack and Diane by John Cougar Mellencamp, while tooling down the road. He could hardly wait to get home to Dianne in Jacksonville.
He kept thinking, it’s all Dianne’s fault.
He stopped for a bite to eat and and picked up the waitress, not voluntarily either. He was bringing her back to “Goddess” Dianne? He wondered what she wanted with the girl.
He watched her through the rear-view mirror and could tell she wasn’t afraid of him.He thought he could read her mind – fuck you.
He had to stop for gas and felt like the clerk was watching him too closely. Did he know?
Jack and Diane was playing on the radio when he walked into the house. Perfect, or not.
4 STARS – Would Highly Recommend To Others
If you have 10 or 15 minutes, pick up a copy of Taken, by Adam Light. His writing is a play on his name. His story is anything but Light. A very quick read at 28 Amazon pages.
I loved the ending. It seems to be, the criminal always begs for mercy, when the tables are turned on them. Is he going to get his comeuppance? He could be the nut case next door to you. Funny how he found someone else at fault, of course he would. I “snorted” when I read that. (The word snort is the only one I could think of that was appropriate.) Jack made me think about how people are doing that all the time, blaming someone else for their wrongful deed. They don’t want to take responsibility for their actions.
I put this in because I absolutely love it. I can’t quit staring into the glasses.
I kept expecting something to happen. Suspenseful is not a strong enough word for the feeling I had as I read through the pages. What happened was not what I expected and I loved every word of it.
I think I have a morbid, sick sense of humor, because I laugh at the gruesome endings of this kind of book.
If a book says Florida for a location, I am all over it. I like when the writer places their characters in a location I am familiar with. I can’t count the miles I have spent on I-10. Can’t remember how many times I have been to and through Slidell. I haven’t yet been to Jacksonville, though. It seems like I always make a right turn before getting there.
I picked this up on a free Amazon day. I can’t remember exactly how I came across the book. I believe it was either Adam’s brother, Evan (who also writes dark and creepy books) or my sister, Laura at fuonlyknew. Either way, thanks guys. It was one I wouldn’t want to miss.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
.
I have spent the better part of my life in northeast Florida, but I was born in West Virginia. I was consumed at an early age by an unquenchable thirst for the written word. Words, in general, when I think about it.
I was a quiet bookish kid, but after moving down south I grew into a wild and rebellious teenager. I grew my hair long, became enthralled with heavy metal music, and all the rest.
I’ve mellowed somewhat, but I love life, I love my family, and I love to write stories. I have a mad passion for it.
I am proud of the stories I have written and sincerely hope that readers like myself have enjoyed reading them as much as , and plan to continue tapping away at this keyboard until my fingers won’t move anymore.
Thanks to everyone who has supported my madness so far; I look forward to sharing much more of my mind’s crazy ride with you.
