Hot damn, Jeff Strand!
This guy continues to impress me!! I don’t know how horror writers come up with these sick and twisted stories. But then, I’m sitting reading and LOVING every bit of them!! Lol
Pressure is one brutal coming of age story!!
There’s two main characters, you have the good, Alex Fletcher, and then you have the evil, sick sadistic Darren Rush. In the story you have Darren trying to force his murderous ways onto Alex. That way he would have a sidekick to do all of these awful, vile things to people. Throughout the years, Darren ends up stalking and ruining Alex’s life.
I have never hated a character as much as I did Darren Rush!!! I could literally feel myself getting angry! I wanted so badly to reach into the book and strangle the shit out of him!!!
And this is where Jeff Strand worked his voodoo magic. Darren tried so hard to corrupt his “friend”, but instead I feel like I’ve been corrupted. He’s got me RAGING, wanting to kick his evil ass!!! Lol!
I need anger management after reading this damn book!!
Well played, Mr Strand. Well played!
I’ve read five of Strand’s books, and so far, I’ve enjoyed them all! I’m looking forward to continuing my Jeff Strand Journey and I can easily say that he has become one of my MOST FAVORITE horror writers.
