Compromised | Short Story Review | AstraDaemon

When special investigator Cort Davies accepts a deliver for a local biker gang, he sets into motion the dangerous conclusion to a long-term undercover assignment. Every moment of the following twenty-four hours has been planned and plotted to insure success, but all it takes is one command from the gang leader to unravel months of planning. A move that will put both Cort and the package–a woman bound and gagged in the trunk of the car–into a life or death fight they never planned on.

INFALLIBLE by Ruby Ransom is a decent crime drama, but seems more like a few chapters of a bigger story.

I hope the author will consider writing a full-length novel.

As always,

No Story | Flash Fiction Review | AstraDaemon

SLICE by Ruby Ransom is a flash fiction piece which reveals a single torture scene, rather than a story of any kind.

Complete disappointment after reading RECONCILED by the same author. The writing styles are vastly different.

Genre Surprise | Drama Review | AstraDaemon

RECONCILED by Ruby Ransom is a drama centered on a female Ranger returning to her life several years after an assignment goes wrong. For some reason, I found this during a horror search. While this novella isn't what I expected, I enjoyed this story.

The author's writing style works well for this genre, and I love how Ransom addresses the aftermath of being held captive by a cartel leader, rather than focusing on the violence endured by Nora. The POV switches from the main character to the two people closest to her: her partner and her boss, giving the story some real depth.

I'm planning to read more by Ransom.

As always,
