Cowboy Ending

This book is well-written with an MC that could easily star in his own series. I see Gerard B or even Channing T casted in the role. A raw & gritty read, action packed with great dialog. Well done.

About

Fans of JIM BUTCHER and JOHN CONROE agree, ADAM KNIGHT’s Urban Fantasy “Overdrive” is a hit. Full of action, drama, relatable problems, pop culture goodness and enough humour to satisfy readers of all genres.

Women are disappearing in the City of Winnipeg, the police are at their wits end and the media is in an uproar. But Joe is too busy struggling to pay his bills as a Nightclub Bouncer to pay attention.

After a violent night at the city’s hottest nightclub Joe’s past and present will collide as he begins to notice strange things happening in the world around him. Electrical devices react to his presence in a supernatural way. His strength and awareness will expand. And dammit, he’ll want to eat everything in sight!

As Joe tries to understand the changes in his life and body, he recognizes that one of the missing women is from his nightclub and he becomes compelled to learn everything he can about her disappearance. Along the way he discovers evidence of corruption, betrayal and ultimately murder.

Can Joe balance his need to learn the truth against the responsibilities he has to his family? Will the strange things happening to his body and surroundings help him find a way in the world or will he burn out the longer he spends living his life in Overdrive?

“Cowboy Ending” is the first book in Adam Knight’s “Overdrive” series.

Book Reviews

Overdrive: Cowboy Ending is the first installment of what I hope to be a long series (no pressure, dude). As such, it does take a bit of time for the plot to get set up, but with realistic, diverse characters and a well paced, interesting backstory you really don't even notice. I read the last 2 thirds in a sitting, and that doesn't happen often! The narrator, Joe, is realistic and down to earth. He tells his story with excellent voice. He's someone I can relate to. And I love the 4th Wall breaks where he addresses me, the reader. I'm in this with him from the first page and I care because he's a real guy. The backstory is absolutely captivating. With good delivery and timing, readers are given just enough, and in the right doses, to hold their interest as the story progresses. The same can be said for the mysterious, supernatural occurances - but no spoilers! One of the features I found most appealing going into this story was the fact that it's set in Winnipeg! So often when sh*t gets real, it's New York or Los Angeles in the thick of it. But this story shows that strange things can happen anywhere! It was definiately a pleasure to read about local haunts and Canadian culture. Above all, I appreciate Joe's pop culture references and sense of human interaction. For me, this was the icing on a gourmet cake.
