Listen. At some point, a poor sap will look at you and say, “This is the worst day of my life.”
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Bill is a conman on the run from the Rockaway Mob. They want Bill dead and the two million dollars that he stole from them back. Lucky for Bill, his girlfriend, Fiona is on the lam with him. Fiona’s got brains and can handle herself. As this modern day “Bonnie and Clyde” try to stay alive they find themselves at odds with crocked cops, hired assassins, other criminals, an Elvis impersonator, a government hit man and more.
The Love & Bullets Megabomb Edition is actually a reworking of three novellas featuring Bill and Fiona (A Brutal Bunch of Heartbroken Saps; Slaughterhouse Blues and Main Bad Guy), but thanks to some clever re-editing and additional material, it reads like one rollicking adventure. I absolutely loved the characters, plus the right mix of violence, humor and heart. Kolakowski has the ability to make all of his major characters not only unique in voice and look, but the feel that any of them could be the “star” of their own tale. I blazed through Love & Bullets Megabomb Edition loving every page. I was so impressed by Nick Kolakowski that I immediately ordered three more of his novels.
