Eryk Pruitt, Blood Red Summer

“Wow, what a difference being on deadline can make. The first book in his series featuring podcaster Jess Keeler was long on developing characters, providing backstory’s, all the things the first in a new series needs to do but which can sometimes lead to a little meandering off the tracks. Now, the first time he’s ever had to work with a deadline it’s like he’s put on a pair of seven-league-boots and taken a huge step forward. Jess is back with big dreams of making it huge in the podcast world with a story about misguided justice and mistaken identity. Or was the guilty party railroaded to cover up for someone else? Jess wants to find out but her crew has other ideas, monetary ideas, even as Jess chases justice. Hurry up Eryk, we all wanted #3 in the series yesterday!” — Pete Mock
