How to Get Arrested The Starsboro Chronicles Episode 1 edition by Cameron J Quinn Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

• This short novel is a very quick read with no real surprises. The book blurb tells you everything you need to know, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun watching the action unfold. Jennifer Morgan is an ex-NYC detective who has come to Starsboro after suffering a traumatic loss. She’s successfully fighting alcoholism in part by throwing herself into her new job. She’s just arrested Zurich D’Vordi for using a machete to kill a handful of men. It’s all been caught on videotape but unfortunately someone has tampered with the evidence since bringing it to the police station and the part where Zurich can be identified has been erased. She’s forced to let him go and despite being warned off by her superiors can’t stop trying to prove he committed murder.
  
  As a basic plot, this one is fine, but there was an early problem in the details that never made sense to me. Zurich (or whoever is in the videotape) killed the men on camera but their bodies have all disappeared, Morgan keeps asking him where he put the bodies—but (and it’s a big but) author, Quinn, never deals with the fact that the video does not show him moving the bodies out of camera range. They can’t find even a single drop of blood at the scene of the crime, which is pretty amazing since the killer decapitated people with a machete. Instead, all they can find is ash. (Insert images of vampires exploding into dust in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.) We the reader understand from moment one that the bodies turned to ash after Zurich killed them. Why wasn’t this caught on video? It’s a big problem with the logic of the story that the reader simply has to ignore, but if you do so, the rest of the story hangs together pretty well.
  
  Zurich is the very definition of bad boy. He refuses to take the law seriously. He does what he wants. He is emotionally distant from the dozens of women who throw themselves at him. He’s handsome and charming when he wants to be, but he’s also incredibly self centered. He’s also emotionally scarred by a tragic personal loss that causes him to keep putting into danger people he starts to care about. That doesn’t make any rational sense but it’s emotionally convincing in the story.
  
  So on the level of urban fantasy, this story is a solid monster hunt in which the handsome vigilante eventually leads the beautiful capable cop into discovering that monsters exist and the law is not capable of handling them. That story has been done a thousand times and it works well here. Also in keeping with the genre, there is tremendous sexual tension between Morgan and Zurich which starts in the first paragraph and continues through the last. It leads to a couple of nice interactions as she pursues him and is generally fun. I would have preferred the attraction stay at the level of Remington Steele or Moonlighting in the first few seasons. When Morgan and Zurich finally have sex it goes on too long and seems to be a big distraction from the story, but such things seem to be a major part of the genre these days so I guess we have to accept them.
  
  My final complaint about this story is the ending. It was already set up for a sequel. We didn’t need to introduce a big bad villain—especially not a villain who has led everyone to believe she is dead for a century. I can’t fathom the reason she would expose herself as she did at the end of the book. After all, she is not supposed to be stupid.
  
  All of that being said, How to Get Arrested is a fun book. It has pretty good action. It moves quickly. There’s a mystery about Zurich and his family that was genuinely interesting. The cops, especially Morgan and the Captain, were well drawn characters. The monster problem was better estblished than I usually find in this genre. I also frankly like the way Quinn titles her works. It feels fresh to me and that’s always a good thing when I’m picking up a book in a genre in which I’ve already read scores of other stories.
• Anyone who likes the show Supernatural will love this Novella! Don't mistake me though, this is an original story, NOT fan-fiction or borrowed from the show. There were some really cool tidbits of info that I loved. Mostly the background on the fey; mainly who created them and the facts on reproduction, (I'm being purposely vague here.) The main characters are likable and fun to read. I also really liked the format of "episodes" instead of "books."
  
  Negatives This would be a 4 star book for me if there had been less minor errors. There is a handful of typos, at least 20 instances of missing commas, and a handful of sentences that stood out to me as having awkward wording. Also as another reviewer said, some of the action scenes are told more than shown. Some other things I would have liked to see (and would take the book to 5 star,) was more development of Morgan's character and perhaps some more info or an explanation in some scenes involving them. Example; How did they get so comfortable and friendly that fast, they didn't sleep together. Also a villain that is woven into the stories and developed through the episodes, in addition to whatever Zurik is currently battling, would be awesome.
  
  All things accounted for, I think the story was really good and I look forward to reading the next one. The author most definitely has potential and I think that her future books will keep getting better as she gets experience and published works under her belt.
• I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved the characters and how they come to interact with one another. Trent is a bit of the class clown and can be serious when he had to. Morgan and Zurik have this attraction thing going on but because they are both professionals, they put it aside and work through it. After all these brothers, Trent and Zurik, seem like they are out of this world. Are they? Read the book to find out.
  I volunteered an honest review in exchange for an ARC copy of this book.
• I loved the combination of urban fantasy, suspense, and supernatural wrapped into this story. While reading, I was reminded of a blend of Supernatural and Dexter. The characters were very believable and made me laugh out loud quite a few times. This is a fantastic read and quick for those who are pressed on time!
• First of all, how cool is the episodic release format of this series? You get bite-sized adventure with excellent pacing. The relationship between the two main characters is exciting and turbulent, and that itself carries the book well into the "good reading" category. The story itself is also a lot of fun; it's like watching an episode of a monster-hunter show. The details of the monsters are just enough that they seem dimensional, but not so much that you get lost in the technicalities (something I hate in sci-fi/fantasy). A great debut, and indicative of even better adventures to come. Already well into the 2nd!
• X files meets Paranormal in this great quick read! Detective Morgan is a strong female character with past demons and hell bent on figuring out Zurik. Zurik is a vigilante going after some strange paranormal creatures. This story reels you in and leaves you wanting more! Can't wait to see what is in store for these characters!
• Love how all this comes together! Like how the writer is having it as season's instead of series!! The characters are the perfect team up! Brother's fighting the battle of other Beings! A detective learning what's happening around them!! Teaming up with the brother's! This is a non stop adventure in your mind! Can't wait till next month to read more!! May seem a little short in paiges! But well worth it!! This is a great book!!! Another must read !
• This is a good short story. theres enough in this story to drag you in and leave you wanting more. i love how the story unfolds and they end it pretty much at the beginning. we get to see the beginning stuff but the way it ended shows the story is now getting started. cant wait to read the second installment.
