Description claiming this book as "perfect story" raises expectations super high. Review making itout really appealing, but I will have to read it to form my own opinion.

A crime thriller novel that keeps you on the edge of your seat while desperately wanting to know what will happen next. Filled with action and with great characters. This is a book that I will enjoy reading.

From a sampling, this was an intellectually captivating crime novel. This novel is definitely worth a second look. Well Done.

I read the review of the book Busted, by Michelle I. Khoury. This story has love, romance, sex, explicit scenes. Gina McKenna, Miguil Lopez and Garcia are the main characters in the tale. Gina is suffering from low bank account. Lopez is druggist and doing his business to increase the money. Garcia is working for DEA and struggled to eliminate the crime, drugg addiction etc.

Lopez is one of the characters from the review who interests me a lot. The reason is his skills and counteracts in dealing with cocaine which is a hard drug under the criminal law. I love the themes in the novel, and I would like to grab the story for review.

Seems kind of like a Murder, She Wrote episode. I like that about this book. I'll add it to the TBR just so I can see if I'm right.

Busted by Michele I. Khoury is a suspenseful novel revolving around #Opioids which intertwined the paths of Gina McKenna (an artist), Miguel Lopez (a cocaine supplier), and Bobby Garcia (DEA Special Agent) in a tale involving drug usage, sex, violence, and skepticism.

For the characters who were not picking their phones up, I could say, I also wouldn't wanna answer calls from the strangers and those persons I don't wanna talk with. 😂

Thanks for the wonderful review.

I am surprised! I never thought just by looking at this book that it would be so interesting and dark. I'm glad to see there is a character development throughout the book, I also find it very important. This will go to my "want to read" list!

Thanks for a great review. A good plot plus good character development equals a good read! I also like that the author has researched the subject matter well and is able to detail complex procedures rather than simply skimming over them. Looking forward to reading!

I like books that are highly detailed, informative and educative. This book sounds just like it. Even without studying Criminal Justice, I feel like I can learn one or two things from this book. Thanks for the review.

Haha! I burst out laughing when you said none of the characters answered their phone! Wonder why? Anyway, thanks for the awesome review. Sexual content and the other explicit content put me off though, so I don’t plan on reading. However, many aspects of this book seem interesting, including the way you introduced your perception of the book as a stratedgy game! Really cool :)
