Juan's Path to Justice: A short story introducing DEADLY REPERCUSSIONS Kindle Edition

by Karen Black (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 12 ratings
For Juan Velasquez, crime is a way of life. The law of justice, however, is sacred.

This short story follows a teenager from the gang-controlled streets of Mexico in a new direction. Loyalty is a family trait for Juan, even though his life is a masquerade with deception woven throughout. An introduction to Deadly Repercussions, this short story is the beginning of Juan’s journey into the next generation.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Writing in a variety of genres, Black's character driven stories rarely turn out quite the way the reader would expect. The author combines imagination and experience to weave dramatic plots with believable characters in descriptive settings, whether contemporary or supernatural.

Those familiar with her prose can attest to her fascination with the paranormal. Even when it isn’t the basis of the plot, it is not unusual to find a touch of the supernatural in her books. Occasionally, the reference is so subtle, the reader could miss it.

With a passion for animals, the author includes a four-legged character in most storylines, even if just a cameo appearance. Two of Black’s novels, “Race into Murder” and “Ride into Romance,” draw on her background as a racehorse owner. Her experience at the racetrack supplies realism to the setting, the races and the characters.

Black lives in the United States with her husband, and two alien creatures disguised as cats. While each of the furry critters is unique, one of them is rumored to be ET’s second cousin. The rumor, however, has not been confirmed.

    Karen Black's writing always leaves me on the edge of my seat. Her writing is brilliant and exciting and deep and scary and always leaves the reader wanting more!!!!! I enjoyed the short story because "Juan's Path to Justice" was intriguing and drew a clear picture of a man who knew what he wanted in life and was willing to do whatever he needed to do to get that life and to honor his Father by getting JUSTICE ! His love of his family was very clear. He was intelligent in book learning and in life! A REAL MAN!
    I AM 100 PERCENT SURE THAT "DEADLY PERCUSSIONS" WILL BE EVERYTHING THAT A READER WANTS IN A NOVEL.
    Bravo Karen Black! Once again you Amaze Me!!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A repeat performance
    Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2022

    I already read Ms. Black's Deadly Repercussions and had a deja-vous moment when reading this introductory piece. Turns out that it's a duplication of the first three chapters of Deadly Repercussions. The author should have included that point in her blurb. However, it's free so no harm done.

    Juan's path to Justice is a perfect prelude to Deadly Repercussions. The descriptions painted a picture in my mind of a Spanish Jack Reacher. His character is fearless and he is willing to help anybody in need to make things right, especially when his family is threatened. There is no limit as to what he'll do. Good read.

    The story immediately drew me in. The characters were strongly written, and I immediately felt bad for Juan. The ending was a bit too abrupt for me. I didn't realize until later that this was a introduction to the author's full novel. (Yes, I now realize it's in the title, but I didn't pay attention when I first started reading it.) The author's writing is error-free, and the story overall is a great read. I plan on reading the full-length novel in the future.

    I love the idea of writing a short story to introduce a character in a book, and I'm doing that myself this month. The author has given me a reason to read Deadly Repercussions since Juan is a strong character with a firm belief in right and wrong.
