March 2026 Rule One Book Reviews Selection

WHY IT WAS SELECTED
I just started reading it, and I kept reading. It's nothing more complicated than that. My flirtation with this book led to to purchase another book from this author. So far, it's dark and gritty and very out of my lane. I like getting out of my lane. 

READER CHALLENGE 

Pick up this book and give it a read. Meet me back here in late March and let's compare notes. 

TITLE: Rapture
PUBLISHER: Independently Published
AUTHOR: Steffen Jack
GENRE(S): Literary Fiction/Horror 
PUBLICATION DATE: 3 March 2012
AMAZON REVIEWS/RATINGS AT DISCOVERY: 5/5.0 Star Average

WHY IT GOT MY ATTENTION:
The author and I followed each other on X.  This one has been out there since 2012 with only five reviews.  The blurb didn't necessarily get my attention, but I saw nothing wrong with the sample. It had that gritty noir vibe with a great cover that matches. I feel  like it hits effectively at the heart of its genre.
