First, I wish to thank Anna Sacca from FSB Associates for offering me the chance to read and review this crime novel. As always, I am happy to do so, here are my thoughts.
The story chronicles how an Arizona teenager’s life changed for ever after an innocent night of fun turned solemn. On his 18th birthday Joey Blade celebrated with his new girlfriend Wendy and TJ Grimes, a pot dealer, at a bonfire party, when it exploded sending embers into the crowd, the trio took off, speeding away by car. When a gun goes off in a police shootout and TJ did a disappearing act, Joey left behind is tossed in jail accused of shooting police officers. What was supposed to be a promising career was then dashed. Then the story revolved around Joey dealing with court proceedings, rekindling things with Mallory, his old girlfriend.
The second half of the book depicts Joey as an adult with unfinished business. All along the narrative Joey emerges as a character to root for. His freedom did not come easy he needed help from Chico Torres, a drug lord he met in jail. Was that a good choice?....
What a melodrama we read. It shows how in the blink of an eye someone’s life can change. This gritty story full of danger, betrayal, love and loss escalates after a leisurely opening into a fast-paced action. I couldn’t help but to turn pages nonstop, this dynamic story is so exciting. Mr. Joy seamlessly weaves complex relationship and relevant issues such as teenage pregnancy and young adult drama into a full tilt plot populated with unforgettable characters.
“Dry heat “, is a compelling drama I definitely recommend.
