Trigger by Kris Brooker
Trigger was groomed in the House of the Lord. The coveting of priests, they said, was a reward for his faith. But God sent Jamie, the girl with blood on her hands. She saved them both, and God’s warriors burned in Hell.
Hidden amongst London’s homeless Trigger feels that God has stopped listening. Jamie broke her vow and killed again. Torn between his faith and his affection, Trigger will do anything to protect her.
Sergeant Adams has made the connection. A third body convinces him there’s a serial-killer loose in London, so why won’t his superiors listen?
Adams will risk his job, and his life, to stop a killer preying on London’s homeless.
Three personalities, ever-darkening desires; an endgame they’ll never see coming.
A little disturbing and more than a bit sad. But what can I say, I love wallowing in someone else’s misery. Trigger slides down the homeless ladder, being pursued by cops and a dealer who’s a dangerous fruitcake. Then the magic happens! Awesome book
From the reviews I expected Trigger to be a bit dark and twisted. But I never expected it to leave me feeling upset. And you know why? Maybe he doesn’t deserve it, but I cared.
Sooo engaging
Was this well written, tick.
Did it grab me by the proverbials, tick.
Would I read another by this author, tick-tick-tick.
Trigger was not a disappointment! I loved the writing, the story, every word of it.
A book as beautiful & frightening as you’ll ever read.
