Review: Novel 6 is nothing short of brilliant!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 4, 2012
I was one of the lucky ones to end up being able to view an advanced copy of The Ripper. This is the 6th novel in the Lawson Vampire series. Of course there are also novellas and short stores to accompany these too! After reading all of Jon's work I have to compare him to wine - he only gets better with age. He has always been good but he continues to outdo himself. If I could give this more than 5 stars I would!The Ripper takes Lawson on a thrilling adventure where he never knows who did what or where they came from. It is a non-stop and action packed (yes I know sounds cliché... but it really is!) I had to remind myself to breath a few times. This story not only captivated me but it left me hungry for more! I would like to say more but I am afraid I might spoil it.I really liked that The Ripper also gave us some deeper understanding of all of the supporting characters in this series. I was with Lawson all the way sharing in each of his struggles and all of his laughs.For anyone who knows me or my reviews you must know also that I cried a few times too. I can't help it I have a soft spot for Lawson and I am very much attached to this series. If I were a Vampire (because obviously they are real) I could hope to be half as bad-ass and loving as Lawson is!Really I cannot say enough good things about this novel. You just have to read it! You can read it as a standalone however, I really suggest starting from book 1 and going through all the novels, novellas and short stories. They range from FREE to 9.99 which the majority of them 2.99-3.99 - a very good deal for such enjoyable reads.Oh and I also must say you should get to know Jon. He is a wonderful guy. He is very intelligent, creative, and sincere. He loves his fans and it shows! He has a website/blog/twitter/g+/FB and he manages them himself.Lastly, while I love them all, my top three picks of Jon's are currently: The Ripper, The Kinsei, and PARALLAX (not from the Lawson series.)
