Letty Dobesh gets a lucrative offer, spend one night with a wealthy prison bound CEO and receive enough money to get her life together. But things aren't always as they seem.
Really more of a novella, this book is part of the Rapid Reads series which is designed to give the reluctant reader a high-interest story in a short format.

Yes, this book is a "rapid reads" book. I did read it extremely fast right before bed. However this does not mean it is because I loved the book. I did like the book. I just never fully 100% committed to the characters. Letty, she was fine but I never really felt her desperation for pulling off the heist job. I wanted this in order for me to really feel like she needed this last job to really turn her life around. Also, from what I read and saw, she did not seem like a skilled thief. It is no wonder that she did not get caught sooner. The author it seemed tried to make Jack a likable guy but the way he did it, Jack came off more sleazy then he did likable. Also, I have to comment on the ending. So I read this book just to get to the ending and at this point I was half asleep. Both because I was laying in bed reading and also because this book was somewhat dull. However back to the ending. When I got to it and read it, I instantly woke up. Because I could not believe what I had just read. I was upset about the ending, it was not good.

Sunset Key was even better than the first Letty novella, I'm looking forward to the next one.

This took a nice delicious turn. I loved it. I know Blake Crouch is highly invested in Letty and it's one of his favorite characters but I am yet to see why. I did not find her special.

These short stories are so different from the show, but I'm enjoying reading them. And I like that they're short stories.

Having just finished watching the show, the changes are very interesting, especially how they morphed the book Javier character with Arnold (was that his name). Gotta say that I enjoy the TV version a bit more, because a character like Letty is just more fun and interesting when she has a counterpart, they balanced each other out so well in the show.
Nevertheless still highly enjoyed this short novella, reminded me a bit of the movie Ready Or Not (which obviously came after this).
