Some days it's hard to be one of the henchmen! |
The MC, Steven, narrates both
tales, and the first person narrative totally works. It's interesting to see in
book one how he becomes of the Henchmen, and yet if you're expecting more of
the same in Arise, yes you do get that, but so much more too.
There's greater character
development in this second story, with the delectable Jessica taking more of a
central role. She was introduced to readers in a rather unique way in book one,
and her role is so much more satisfying here. Every time Jessica is on the
page, expect fireworks. You'll get 'em.
One of the most beautiful
things about Eric Lahti's series is how he places you in New Mexico, or over
the border in Tijuana. The places are described so well, you can feel the sand
dust crunch under your tyres. Just make sure you're driving a Lamborghini,
otherwise you might not fit into this story.
