Kurzbeschreibung

Roland Stone and Doug Hardwood are New York City's top news anchors. Trusted, respected, revered among the media's who's who. In their profession, it's all about getting the exclusive. Whoever breaks the big story first gets the viewers, and whoever gets the viewers gets the advertisers. It's all money in the end. With their stations neck to neck in the ratings, and the threat of hipper, younger anchors waiting to take their places, each knows they must come up with a juicy story to save their job. Suddenly, a horrific murder rocks the airwaves, and Roland Stone has the inside story. But great minds think alike, and it's just mere hours before Doug Hardwood is reporting on the work of a different serial killer. Over night, New York City becomes a haven for two of the most inventive serial killers ever to walk the streets, each bent on getting more press than the other. Two desperate news anchors. One city. A whole lot of bloodshed. Story at eleven.

"A fiendishly entertaining dark comedy!" — Jeff Strand, author of Pressure

""Sharp and ingenious and a whole lot of fun. Ryan C. Thomas is not just a writer to watch, but one that has already hit a stride that most others at their own game should envy." — HorrorDrive-In.com

"Ratings Game is a dark, humorous and ultimately original thriller, reminiscent of Ellis's American Psycho and Palahniuk's Lullaby. If you're a fan of either, I strongly suggest you pick up a copy of this book!" — OzHorrorScope.com

"Ratings Game is a sociopath's wet dream. Half the fun is seeing what these maniacs are going to do next, and just how far they will go. Ryan C. Thomas does a great job of conveying the frantic pace of New York City, and the crazy people that dwell within it. Gory, depraved, and funny." — Creature-Corner.com

4.0 von 5 Sternen Funny, macabre one-upmanship 26. November 2012
Von Todd Russell - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Two newscasters resort to murder to garner better ratings. It starts a bit slow (the first 20% or so), but then the hooks sink in. The interplay between the two newscasters, Stone and Hardwood, is downright hilarious at times. Like author Jeff Strand, Thomas is good at sprinkling in snappy, macabre quips. The newscasters constant need to one-up the other is what makes this story compelling and highly readable. Recommended for those who like bizarro comedy.
4.0 von 5 Sternen Doubleshot Reviews book review 10. März 2012
Von HeadshotHeather - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Extra, extra read all about it! Ryan C Thomas has written one of the most twisted tales of 2 (yes 2) serial killers and the reporters, seemingly, caught in the middle of their game of who will outdo who. Crazy thing is, I found myself rooting for one of the killers, how crazy is that?!

'Ratings Game ''was a very engaging, horrendously violent and absolutely hysterical book. Now, let me say, I have a twisted sense of humor, so what I find funny someone else might find horrifying. The focus is on 2 main characters, Roland Stone and Doug Hardwood the anchors of rival stations. Both are well established characters who each have their own insecurities away from the camera, which I felt brought a great deal of believability to their character. Mysteriously 2 serial killers come onto the scene and each have chosen to communicate with one of the anchors in order to get their stories publicized. We do get to learn a great deal about the Casanova Carver and The Chef 'but I will not share those details as you have to read them for yourself.

There were a few moments here and there were I got a little confused as to what exactly was going on because the writing seemed a bit rushed, but I was easily brought back into the story, so no major foul. Oh, and did I mention this story does cover the sadistic actions of 2 serial killers, so it's not a pretty picture that is painted. It's bloody, it's disgusting and it's awesome!

Overall, a very entertaining and enjoyable read. So STOP THE PRESSES (French Presses, that is) and go grab yourself a copy of 'Ratings Game''.
