Review: Smoke by P.J. Parker

P.J. Parker’s Smoke is a sharp, visceral departure from the typical assassin thriller. Set in a "chrome-plated" Manhattan, the novel follows Thomas Smoke, a professional killer who subverts tropes by being terrifyingly human. Unlike the cold calculation of Tom Ripley or the moral code of Dexter Morgan, Smoke is defined by his vulnerability—he bleeds, fails, and feels the weight of his mortality.
Parker transforms New York into a living antagonist, using gritty architectural detail to heighten a high-octane game of cat-and-mouse. This cinematic masterclass in tension challenges readers to root for a monster in a morally ambiguous world. It is a raw, irregular pulse of a thriller that demands a screen adaptation.

Rating: 4.5/5 Stars

P.J. Parker’s Roxelana & Suleyman is a five-star historical epic that blends the tension of a modern thriller with the lush detail of the 16th-century Ottoman Empire. The novel follows Aleksandra’s transformation from a slave into the Harem’s most powerful woman, navigating a "pressure cooker" of political intrigue and deadly stakes. Featuring an authoritative voice and a complex protagonist, this work bridges the gap between ancient power struggles and contemporary feminist discourse.

My debut novel, Critical Condition, is officially out in the world. This story introduces Dr. Althea Brooks, a veteran ER physician fighting to save lives while her own career is threatened by politics, bias, and a system that’s quick to turn on her.

It’s tense, human, and very close to my heart. If you love character-driven thrillers set inside real-world institutions, I hope you’ll give it a read.

This is just the beginning.

Available now.

The Pilot is a lyrical, spiritual, and psychological novel that blends realism with symbolism, dreams, and inner monologue.

Hi again!

I had begun publishing individual chapters of book two of The Godchild Saga, The Iceborne Spire. Since the manuscript was completed much faster than I had anticipated, I have decided to publish the entire book at once. If anyone is still interested in reading it chapter by chapter rather than purchasing the entire book, please let me know and I will continue publishing the chapters individually.

“Good Evening, J’Koth. I have some mysteries for you.” Kavtha strode into the ship’s laboratory.
“Kavtha. More than one mystery? That is exciting. What’s first?”
Kavtha set the box she had been carrying on a nearby counter. J’Koth slid up to her side and watched as she took two bundles out of the box. “I think this one is more time sensitive,” Kavtha declared. “These are fritsqueaks that Hov’cHon brought me. He brought two at the same time!”
“Two!? That’s astonishing! I wonder how far apart he killed them.” J’Koth looked uncharacteristically fond for a moment before structuring his face back to professionalism. “You’re right. I don’t think I can conduct a necropsy before the end of this shift; we’ll need to put them in the freezer.”

I am a poetess but I wrote a novel too. The Pilot is a psychological spiritual fantasy romance novel that I wrote with poetic inspiration. Nare is the main character of my novel. I created this character to blend realities with fantasies and realism with symbolism. Nare is my favorite character.

The Pilot is a lyrical, spiritual and psychological novel that blends realism with symbolism, dreams, and inner monologue.

There is something mysterious and mystic. The story is a mix of realistic life events and relationships and something mystical as well.

I just want to introduce myself. My name is Dawn and I have been writing since 2005. Circumstances have made publishing my works extremely difficult. This application has truly answered my prayers. I look forward to sharing the collection of books I have started throughout the years. I have three main stories I hope you will enjoy reading them just as much as I have writing them. please keep a look out for Akraseal (aa-kray-seel) Nightshade: Heathers' story, The Legend of devils Den, and Lilly Loco Animatronic: Origin Story

I can't publish my book is too long
