I won't deny that I'm a HUGE fan of the Jackrabbit7 series and Concealing Torres did not make that change, at all. Matter of fact, it made me love the series more.Now, BEFORE you read this short, you should make sure you've read the other books and shorts, IN THE SUGGESTED READING ORDER, else you'll likely be confused.Now for the actual review:This short, like the others, is gruesome, exciting, and heart-wrenching all for different reasons and is completely in-line with Carr's style. You get juicy details on a few of the characters in the rest of the series, which is a plus, as well as learning where Quinn came into the story line.But be warned, if you're sensitive, you may need a bucket or tissues on hand! As with her other stories, Carr shows how twisted, secretive and sensitive humans can be, in all of it's gory and saddening detail -and, if I'm being honest, it's awesome. Her ability to give enough detail to clearly picture what's going on without rambling for pages is highly applauded.Once I was was finished reading it, I just sat there for a moment and was nearly in tears over Quinn's story, all of it. I love the way Carr just kind of seems to stomp on a reader's heart with her amazing ability to emotionally connect you to every one of her characters in some way or another.I will honestly never run out of good things to say about the Jackrabbit7 series, Carr continues to surprise me with every new story and I never want that to change. If you're expecting a run-of-the-mill series, then you're in for one hell of a convoluted ride - and you're going to LOVE every minute of it.
