How to Get Arrested: The Starsboro Chronicles: Episode 1: A Supernatural Suspense Serial (The Starsboro Chronicles Season 1) Kindle Edition

by Cameron J Quinn (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 39 ratings

There's only one person protecting them from The Things That Go Bump in the Night... And she just arrested him.

Detective Jennifer Morgan is new to Starsboro. When multiple murders drop in her lap she thinks they’re fast-tracked to the courts. After all, she has all the evidence she needs to put Zurik D'Vordi away so she can focus on the serial kidnapping of women that's plaguing the town.

That is, until her evidence is tampered with. Morgan can't leave Zurik to kill again—despite her captain’s orders to let it go. Going rogue to protect her new home might change her life—if she doesn’t lose it.

Join Morgan and Zurik on the first installment of this paranormal serial! Action-packed and full of laughs, award-winning author, Cameron J Quinn, starts this series off with a bang!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A perfect balance between gritty and fun! Arrested leaves me dying to know what happens next."

V.S. Holmes, author of the Nel Bently Books and Reforged series

"An adventure worth starting!"

Amy Spitzfaden, author of Untold

"How to Get Arrested is a light read, entertaining and fast-moving, its dialogue flecked with idiomatic American dialect that lends it an air of authenticity."

J.C. Steel, author of the Cortii series and Death Is For The Living

    I loved the combination of urban fantasy, suspense, and supernatural wrapped into this story. While reading, I was reminded of a blend of Supernatural and Dexter. The characters were very believable and made me laugh out loud quite a few times. This is a fantastic read and quick for those who are pressed on time!

    I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved the characters and how they come to interact with one another. Trent is a bit of the class clown and can be serious when he had to. Morgan and Zurik have this attraction thing going on but because they are both professionals, they put it aside and work through it. After all these brothers, Trent and Zurik, seem like they are out of this world. Are they? Read the book to find out.
    I volunteered an honest review in exchange for an ARC copy of this book.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Fun with Lots of Potential
    Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2019

    This short novel is a very quick read with no real surprises. The book blurb tells you everything you need to know, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun watching the action unfold. Jennifer Morgan is an ex-NYC detective who has come to Starsboro after suffering a traumatic loss. She’s successfully fighting alcoholism in part by throwing herself into her new job. She’s just arrested Zurich D’Vordi for using a machete to kill a handful of men. It’s all been caught on videotape but unfortunately someone has tampered with the evidence since bringing it to the police station and the part where Zurich can be identified has been erased. She’s forced to let him go and despite being warned off by her superiors can’t stop trying to prove he committed murder.

    As a basic plot, this one is fine, but there was an early problem in the details that never made sense to me. Zurich (or whoever is in the videotape) killed the men on camera but their bodies have all disappeared, Morgan keeps asking him where he put the bodies—but (and it’s a big but) author, Quinn, never deals with the fact that the video does not show him moving the bodies out of camera range. They can’t find even a single drop of blood at the scene of the crime, which is pretty amazing since the killer decapitated people with a machete. Instead, all they can find is ash. (Insert images of vampires exploding into dust in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.) We the reader understand from moment one that the bodies turned to ash after Zurich killed them. Why wasn’t this caught on video? It’s a big problem with the logic of the story that the reader simply has to ignore, but if you do so, the rest of the story hangs together pretty well.

    Zurich is the very definition of bad boy. He refuses to take the law seriously. He does what he wants. He is emotionally distant from the dozens of women who throw themselves at him. He’s handsome and charming when he wants to be, but he’s also incredibly self centered. He’s also emotionally scarred by a tragic personal loss that causes him to keep putting into danger people he starts to care about. That doesn’t make any rational sense but it’s emotionally convincing in the story.

    So on the level of urban fantasy, this story is a solid monster hunt in which the handsome vigilante eventually leads the beautiful capable cop into discovering that monsters exist and the law is not capable of handling them. That story has been done a thousand times and it works well here. Also in keeping with the genre, there is tremendous sexual tension between Morgan and Zurich which starts in the first paragraph and continues through the last. It leads to a couple of nice interactions as she pursues him and is generally fun. I would have preferred the attraction stay at the level of Remington Steele or Moonlighting in the first few seasons. When Morgan and Zurich finally have sex it goes on too long and seems to be a big distraction from the story, but such things seem to be a major part of the genre these days so I guess we have to accept them.

    My final complaint about this story is the ending. It was already set up for a sequel. We didn’t need to introduce a big bad villain—especially not a villain who has led everyone to believe she is dead for a century. I can’t fathom the reason she would expose herself as she did at the end of the book. After all, she is not supposed to be stupid.

    All of that being said, How to Get Arrested is a fun book. It has pretty good action. It moves quickly. There’s a mystery about Zurich and his family that was genuinely interesting. The cops, especially Morgan and the Captain, were well drawn characters. The monster problem was better estblished than I usually find in this genre. I also frankly like the way Quinn titles her works. It feels fresh to me and that’s always a good thing when I’m picking up a book in a genre in which I’ve already read scores of other stories.

    First of all, how cool is the episodic release format of this series? You get bite-sized adventure with excellent pacing. The relationship between the two main characters is exciting and turbulent, and that itself carries the book well into the "good reading" category. The story itself is also a lot of fun; it's like watching an episode of a monster-hunter show. The details of the monsters are just enough that they seem dimensional, but not so much that you get lost in the technicalities (something I hate in sci-fi/fantasy). A great debut, and indicative of even better adventures to come. Already well into the 2nd!
