Book Description

A twisted serial killer with a taste for cruel and unusual punishment is terrorizing New York.

This review is from: Triple Threat (Paperback)

I heard so much about Relentless Aaron and his psychodrama, I just had to try it and see for myself. TRIPLE THREAT is a whirlwind ride through the lives of three very different women who are seemingly connected. Sissy Dickerson is a New York City police officer assigned to the domestic violence unit and on a daily basis, sees her share of abuse and the mockery that men make of the justice system. Sissy has abandonment issues - her father left the family when she was five years old. April Davis is a freelance writer, friend and housemate to Sissy. She is a very sensitive woman who constantly deals with the abandonment of her father through his death. And finally there is River Burlington. River is a murderess, killing more than twenty men by very sadistic means; you have to wonder what her story is.

As the body count rises, Sissy is drawn into the murders and is on a mission to catch the Pink Heart Murderer although it is out of her jurisdiction. April, needing a story that will win her some notoriety, tags along for some juicy facts. All the while River is luring them into her ruthless scheme in an effort to flush out Sissy.

The book begins with the introduction of River and immediately you are drawn in. The characterizations are three-dimensional and the detective in you will beg for you to continue reading for the conclusion. A conclusion that is plausible but shocking at best. A conclusion that will have you shaking your head and asking yourself why you didn't figure it out sooner. Relentless Aaron does a good job with the description of the settings in the Bronx; the drama, sex and murders are wild and wacky. However, what this story needs is major editing. Misspelled words and incorrect punctuations are rampant. With those corrections, I would say that Relentless Aaron has an exciting story on his hands. This is definitely not for the queasy and faint at heart.

This review is from: Triple Threat (Paperback)

I could not put this book down, it kept me on the edge of my seat. It took me all of 1 day to finish reading this book, because for me it was an absolute page turner. It opens up witha a bang and ends with a bang and it will definetely have you wanting to know where's the sequel. I am a avid reader of Relentlessaaron and this is by far one of his best creations. I seen a comment posted by Ms. Flyod and was quite surprise to see that she wasn't happy with her selection. If you found the book predictable then that tells me that you didn't read the book from beginning to end, because anyone who I ever spoke with and I've spoken to many could not predict what would happen from one minute to the next. And to correct you, this book and Zane books are on two totally different levels. And Mr. Relentless keeping doing what you do ; -)

This review is from: Triple Threat (Paperback)

In New York, the city that never sleeps, tension mounts as the body count rises. A murderer is on the loose...

A serial killer with her own brand of justice. A police officer sworn to uphold the law. A journalist looking for a story to launch her career. Three very different women. One common denominator; a common denominator that could destroy each of their lives.

Relentless Aaron has created an electrifying thriller - a story filled with chilling suspense and graphic details. Triple Threat is definitely not for the squirmish as some of the scenes are pretty gory and disturbing. It's a novel you'll be likely to think/talk about for a long time.
