ekes reviewed Edge City by Sin Soracco
"atmosphere is dark and flows out of the writing"
I'd started reading this some time ago, having read Low Bite which was excellent. Low Bite is prison noir, Edge City is I guess parole noir. It's interesting, but didn't capture me so much as Low Bite, I'd given up about half way through. Now I'd just read Snitch World, there I also lost it reading through the scene setting (see my review) so I figured I'd return to finish this one too. The characters in this book completely work, though whether you actually empathize with the (lack of) decisions of Reno the main protagonist is another matter. The atmosphere is dark and flows out of the writing. Once you're through the development of the situation it's fast to an abrupt conclusion.
