Riley Parra Season One by Geonn Cannon6/12/2023 The place full of junkies, dealers and criminals in general. Overall it is four stars Riley Parra is a strong, badass heroine for those that like their coffee and their cop fiction bitter. Technically it is well edited and written, with the quality of the prose etc very high, which is sometimes not a given in an eBook. On the other hand, considering each story is so short, Cannon creates a world in which the deaths ensure the emotional stakes are fairly high throughout, while positioning the characters to quickly develop into people we care about. The characters die or get "put on a bus" with unusual frequency throughout the stories, which can be frustrating as they often abruptly close only semi-developed plot threads. Each story involves roughly the same set of characters, along with normally a single major life change for Riley, both of which carry through into the subsequent chapters. There are a variety of themes carried throughout the series - faith, hope, love, friendship, and humanity. The book is episodic - more a collection of loosely themed short stories than a single unified novel. This lands her in a whole heap of trouble as first angels and then demons appear to help and hinder her in her pursuit of justice. Riley Parra is a good cop in a bad city, willing to go places and fight crime when even other good cops would think twice.
