The Ride: Burning Desire #1 by Doug Wagner, Daniel Hillyard, Adam Hughes

ogreart's review against another edition

4.0

This was quite the wild ride, so to speak. Wagner took what could have been a so-so story and made it memorable with the characters. The way there is a backstory laid out for each of the more colorful characters made me really enjoy this book. Instead of caricatures, they were real people to me. That made a difference. I would like to see where this goes from here. I hope there are some more volumes on the way.

I didn't realize this was part of an older series but honestly I don't think it matters much if you've read it before or not, felt pretty self-contained.

1st book of 2021.

So .... Based on its synopsis this was a coherent story about a female ex-detective who spent 15 years in the pen. It is not remotely coherent. Some additional interview material at the end makes it clear that it is an anthology collection of 5 stories connected around the 1968 Camaro that appears, often quite briefly, in each story. That info would have helped from the start. Like, immensely. I would have given it at least one more star and possibly two if that important bit of info was presented from the get go.

Is there a story here? It feels like random action scenes with stilted dialogue. There are scenes that make sense and then scenes that make me go WTF? I really wanted to enjoy this as it has some amazing characters but I felt lost most of the time. What does the car have to do with anything?
