Something is in search of human prey in the gang-ridden communities of Los Angeles . . . When the member of a notorious street gang is found decapitated and dismembered at the bottom of the LA River, it quickly becomes apparent something is amiss. Detective Daryl Garcia connects it with the murders of six other gang members killed the same way. It looks like the work of a serial killer, but the gang members don't think so. They believe the murders are the work of rival gang members. Someone has a dark desire of the most depraved fetish . . . Detective Garcia becomes determined to find the killer at any cost. Together with Rachael Pearce, a journalist he falls in love with, he searches for the killer through the gang underground and the world of prostitution and drugs. And as suspect after suspect is released with no solid evidence to connect them to the crimes, the search for the killer becomes more urgent as the gang infested areas of the city reach a boiling point to the brink of rioting. In a community of gang members-who are killers themselves-how does Detective Garcia find the most monstrous killer he has ever encountered? Madness wears many faces . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars
J. F. Gonzalez delivers again!!!!,
By
This review is from: Fetish (Paperback)
I have read several of J. F. Gonzalez' novels and he has yet to let me down, but Fetish is by far the best book that I have read as of late. And not just written by him, but by anyone. This book has it all: murder, blood, gangs, cannibalism, romance, emotion turmoil, and a twist that you will not see coming. Fans of horror will love this book for its grim atmosphere and gore; everyone else will love this book for its scary, stark reality and its edge-or-your-seat, emotional roller coaster. Buy this book, read this book, and share it with everyone that you know, because you will be dying to have someone to talk to about it. It's awesome!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Gonzalez, Fetish,
This review is from: Fetish (Paperback)
My first reaction to this novel is, well, wow. I really can't say too much without spoiling the book. Let's just say that the last paragraph turns this into one of the most shocking endings I have ever read and I've read a lot of `em. The novel is yet another murder mystery in which detectives try to discover who is killing people. It involves a lot of very horrifying descriptions of most things vulgar (or so it seems) and it seemed a bit tame for the author of Survivor. Through the entire book, I was intrigued by the story but I was wondering when Gonzalez would show up. I had a very bad feeling about the book, especially near the end. It all seemed a little too easy for the protagonists of a Gonzalez novel. Well, that ending is where one of the most disturbing horror authors really shows up. It is the sort of thing that you want others to read so you can see their shocked faces and hear their comments when they are done. And, this is why it gets five stars. This one might actually make it harder for me to sleep tonight.
I just had a few minor problems with the book. For example, calling a restaurant an eating establishment annoys me. It reminds me of reading Poe and coming across the phrase "organ of sight" to refer to an eyeball. To me, this doesn't sound intelligent at all. Also, when Detective Garcia meets Rachel and touches her hand, he feels a bolt of extremely clichéd lightning connect their hands. Later though, Gonzalez tones it down a bit and gets back to being realistic. These and a few other minor annoyances did not lessen my enjoyment much, but I still feel like I have to mention them. Other than that, this is a must-read for horror fans.
