This book comes with a language warning. If you shy away from F-bombs and other swear words, I would not recommend this book for you. However, the language involved is true to life. You decide.
I came across Mr. Scott's offer of a free download via Facebook and decided to give his book a read as I had never even heard of Mr. Scott.
I have to admit that this was a hard book for me to read. I think that is because there was so much back and forth between the present and the backstory involved. For me, personally, I would like to see more involvement of Lance Underphal as he is the one who "solved" the case. Mr. Underphal seems to have been given a backseat in this tale. There are some scenes that I think could be cut out as I think they all fed into Big Mike's ego and, throughout this book, we all know that Big Mike has a big ego that really doesn't need to be fed.
I commend Mr. Scott for taking a shot at publishing his book, Dark Side of Sunset Pointe. Personally, I think with a few more rewrites and a good edit he might have a really good book in this one. I think, as a reader, we tend to just "know" some things without a chapter or two on the subject. For instance, I think the scene of killing the snake could totally be eliminated, though I "get" where it ties into the story, still … it only adds to Big Mike's ego and I think it's unnecessary as it really doesn't add anything to the story.
At this time, per Mr. Scott, he has moved onto another series and Dark Side is not up for re-publishing.
