I was able to grab a copy off of Book Sirens and am providing
a review. (Not my picture.)
After reading Immoral Origins and finding myself immersed in
the story, I find myself wanting to read this series. In Immoral Origins, we
are introduced to an organization called The Desire Card. The Desire Card will
fulfill anyone’s fantasy … whatever it is, no matter the cost. The employees,
if you will, of The Card are each assigned the identity of a famous and
recognizable actor, the leader being Clark Gable. All employees are carefully
recruited which is how J.D. Storm came to The Card (identified as James Dean),
through a lady he met one evening. She thought he was the perfect candidate as
did Mr. Gable.
In Prey No More, we learn more of J.D.’s story of origin. He
finds himself coming into close contact with his conscience while he is on a
job. He then becomes prey to The Desire Club. On the run, he meets Bud, a truck
driver, who gives him a lift all the way to Killenroy, Washington, where J.D.
reunites with his once-girlfriend, Annie. After eight years, they are both
shocked to see each other. Through Annie, J.D. (now Marcus) meets Abram who
wants to do a job which will get Marcus a couple of things he needs, one being
money, so he can escape The Desire Card. Or can he?
This story takes us on Marcus’s journey, of sorts, in his trying
to escape from The Desire Card. Some of his encounters are rather hilarious in
their telling, a bit unbelievable, some are just the opposite. In the end, the
question is who is really the prey - J.D. (Marcus) or The Desire Card? I look
forward to book three, All Sins Fulfilled. If you like dark humor, I recommend
you give this series a try.
Series in Order: Immoral Origins, Prey No More, All Sins Fulfilled,
Vicious Ripples, Desire’s End.
