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.
I almost wanted to cry when I finished this book. No spoilers but from beginning to end rigger is tested but never loses his faith or his love for Jamie. Adams wants a career defining collar before his health fails. satisfying read on so many levels
Not my usual tipple, but Trigger has so many twists and turns it’s hard to put down. It has suspense, horror, desperation, and even a bit of romance. What it did do was capture my attention and kept it throughout the entire read. So on that basis it has to be *****
Did I love this book? At times I did, yes. Is it well written, yes, if a bit unnerving being first person. So deciding on a rating was hard. Do I, don’t I? I went for 4* not 5 because I didn’t want to be sad at the end, but I was.
To see this story unfold through the main characters eyes was crazy. I got into this book and couldn’t get out again until it ended. A book with empathy and soul and plenty of twists.
A young man trying to outrun his troubled past, whilst self-medicating. What can go wrong? Everything lol. Trigger has such a big heart, I felt for him, even though his girlfriend is a killer. He’s on a big slide down and took me all the way. Wonderful
