Blood Drama – a Review
Does your worst day even begin to compare with the day that Ian is about to have?
Ian’s life goes from bad to worse when he walks into a coffee shop located inside a bank to apply for a job. While he is filling out the application, the bank is robbed by the infamous Busty Bandit. The leader likes to detract attention from what she is doing by what she is wearing. So far, she has been successful. When things take a turn for the worse and patrons of the bank end up dead, the robbers have to leave in a hurry. They take a hostage, and Ian is their choice. He figures his life is pretty much over.
He does manage to escape from them, but only because one of the robbers has taken pity on him.
Along with a band of bank robbers, there is romance. Ian is attracted to the FBI agent on the case, Aleece Medina. But does she feel the same about him? Aleece has her issues, but Ian also has a few. His luck with girlfriends has been rotten lately. Actually, he hasn’t had much luck with life.
The life problems of the bank robbers make them more real to me. Could traumatic events that happened in the lives of these criminals be the reason behind all of these robberies? Would that in any way justify what has been done?
Being kidnapped would have a tendency to make one look at life just a tad differently. And I guess it would even give one a determination to catch the ones behind the kidnapping and see them appropriately punished. Ian does end up helping Agent Medina search for the bank robbers. Along the way, they learn a lot about themselves as well as the band of criminals.
This story shows that the decisions we make in our day to day lives, our reactions to situations, and our interpretations of the actions of those around us make us into the people we are.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
“Blood Drama is highly entertaining and extremely enjoyable. It is a combination black comedy and crime novel.” – Lori Lutes, She Treads Softly“
“A murder mystery filled with interesting characters, harrowing encounters and a bit of a love interest between Ian and Aleece make this an interesting and satisfying read.”- Kathleen Kelly, Celtic Lady
“Excellent suspense. Figuring out and following the clues to catch all four suspects is something that Ian is surprisingly good at and something Aleece excels at doing. I loved riding along as all the pieces fell into place.”- Carol, A Voracious Reader
“Meeks may have daringly stepped into new territory, but he continues to remain in the rarefied atmosphere of fine contemporary authors.” – Grady Harp, Literary Aficionado
