Ebenezer by Duncan Ralston

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Scrooge Action" Stars

Small taste of what lies within:

A hitman by the name of Ebenezer Scrooge killed a friend by the name of Jake Marley and now Jake comes back to haunt him as he appears to Ebenezer as a ghost.

Ebenezer tries to kill Jake again but since he is a ghost nothing happens, but in the process of trying to take Jake out, Ebenezer makes a costly mistake which he ends up knocking on death's door and this is where the adventure begins as Jake takes Ebenezer on a trip into the past showing him the different paths that Ebenezer took on his journey up to the time of killing Jake. 

That is about all I can give on a small taste without giving away spoilers so if you want to know more then go read this book!

Thoughts:

There was no horror within these pages, so if you think you will be finding what you normally do when reading a Duncan Ralston book - this isn't it. The same pace and action with the same writing style of this author is still there, but you just are not going to find the extreme blood splatter that is normally associated with his work.

This was a very "creative world" and I just found myself entrapped within this story as I wanted to see where the author, Duncan Ralston was going to take me. I found myself really enjoying this story with this unique twist along with the fast paced mystery that unfolded before my eyes. 

What I found was a cool story adaption of the classic book "A Christmas Carol" but with a big twist as the author created a crime world of the Bleak House Syndicate with a hitman named Ebenezer Scrooge.

I like crime thrillers and I like reading different types of books that have different twists to the storylines so this was perfect for me as I just love dipping my toes into different types of stories!

I loved this story as it captured the essence of the background of the hitman, Ebenezer and what he went through on his journey into the past. 

Another cool read that took me from one extreme to another and brought me into the crime/fantasy world genre with a very cool holiday story that I will remember for a long time.
