Cherry Bomb
by J.A. Konrath
Hardcover, 290 pg.
Hyperion, 2009
If you thought Rusty Nail was taught, action-packed, and gut-punchingly grisly, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. This picks up a couple of days afterwards and jumps into action almost immediately. Konrath seems determined to pick apart his heroine, to destroy her mind, soul, and body the way one of his serial killer characters would. And the series — and maybe Jack herself — is better off for it
I don’t know what to say about this that doesn’t veer into spoiler-territory, so I’ll just leave it as this–I lost sleep over this book, there was no way I was going to wait to finish this — and anyway, given the adrenaline this induced, it’s not like I could sleep anyway.
