5.0 out of 5 stars John Locke just keeps getting better! 5 stars !!! April 3, 2011

By Bonne Elliott AKA Lockesmith

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

John Locke was amazing at capturing your imagination in his first Donovan Creed book, but he just keeps getting better with every new one he writes.
Fast paced action, laugh out loud humor, sex, chivalry, bizarre characters, intriguing storyline, duplicity, love, gambling, and much more, all packed into this one delightful book.
Read this book for yourself, you will not be disappointed. If you are a man or a woman, you will enjoy this story about a couple of days in the life of lovable hit man/assassin Donovan Creed.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Vegas Moon" gave me blisters on my page-turning thumb! April 3, 2011

By Rick Douthit

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

There's something special in the way John Locke spins a story. He has an amazing talent for dialog and character (and I mean CHARACTER) development. "Vegas Moon" is 100% fun to read! I almost feel guilty just paying a meager buck for so much fun. Small wonder the Donovan Creed novels have gone viral! John, your imagination is somewhere I like to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Star Trash April 2, 2011

By William Skipper

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Amazon failed to print my first review of this book, so I've recreated it here, substituting [certain words] and [phrases].

To paraphrase Bob Geldolf, "the silicone chip inside [his] head gets switched to overload," and Donovan Creed has to search out the device that controls the killer switch inside his brain.

VEGAS MOON is a tightly plotted story that, as in all of John Locke's books, keeps the pages flipping rapid-fire. There's a superb twist at the end. However, it's not the plotting that keeps readers flocking to the Creed series. It's the imagination and humor of John Locke.

We're treated to assassinations, terrorists, nefarious government agents, gamblers, bombs, guns, a mobster in his [tighty-whities], a man with [female body parts], a girl who walks a [male body part], a [love] doll, hot [male-female] scenes, and the great [female lover] hit-girl, Callie.

This is certainly the best Creed book since LETHAL EXPERIMENT, if not the best of the entire series. Is it great literature? Ummm...no. But it's over-the-top Five Star trash for people who love to read for fun.
