Zero at the Bone by MadLori

[retropian]

I could have bought the dehumanized hitman finally being redeemed by doing a good turn and getting on the right side of the law, but it isn't a straight-up crime drama.  It's a "love story" and a love story hero has to be on the right side of justice.  Being a romantic hero and getting away scot-free is not justice in my world.  And I think it was a poor choice in a romantic/love situation, and just because it provided pre-packaged high drama and action isn't adequate justification for the moral compromise necessary to accept the hero.

Ok. that's fine. It's just a fanfiction.

I read Zero and it's entertaining enough.  I think HI is a much better story, although I didnt like TCJ as much.  I didnt even finish reading it.

Thanks for the info Leslie!   I didn't know that the publication had already happened... I remember discussions in the past about the publication possibility, but didn't keep track of the further developments.
Congrats to Lori!

Ok. I think I started HI ages ago but didn't really get into it. It just didn't grab me at the time. I've enjoyed ZATB so much I think I will have to give HI and TCJ another go. Sometimes one just isn't in the right frame of mind to allow a piece of fiction to work it's particular magic. So I will make the attempt.

Thanks for the link, Leslie!

The objection to the premise of Zero is an extremely fair criticism and one I obviously can't refute nor would I try.  It's just one of those things where the reader will either buy it or not, they'll come along or they won't.  Some things are just dealbreakers.
