My review of "K.A.R.M.A" by Grant McKenzie





Blurb:

 "The children want revenge. Tech-savvy victims of abuse unite to turn their collective pain into bloody retribution. The group calls itself K.A.R.M.A: Kids Against Rape, Murder and Abuse. To ensure the group’s message is heard, K.A.R.M.A enlists the aid of Tom Hackett, a rebellious freelance photojournalist who flaunts his willingness to break the rules for that perfect moneymaking shot. 

By tipping Hackett to the location of fresh kill, the group ensures sensational front-page media play. But when the identity of one victim hits too close to home, K.A.R.M.A awakens a haunted past that could destroy everything Tom holds dear. In struggling with his conscience, Tom becomes an obstacle that K.A.R.M.A can’t allow to live."

 Review:

Mr. McKenzie is right up there with the greats like Connelly and Crais. K.A.R.M.A is not for the faint of heart, it's dark and pretty brutal. Have you ever read a book and found yourself reading a page or a paragraph over, because it's a little slow? Well that will not be the case with K.A.R.M.A. This book took off right out of the gate, and the intensity never let up. It will create a movie in your mind, which is the mark of excellence.
