Same Old Offering
I received a free advance ARC copy from the author and I also purchased it from amazon.com. Something I like to do to support my favorite Indy Authors. Dempsey grabs your attention right from the start of 'The Templar Curse'. When Emily Starks is in the storyline, as a reader your in for a pretty decent read, then both Sean and Tommy will face some fierce adversaries and it makes you ignore the predictable formula writing he does. By this I mean, Dempsey seems to always make the bad guys so fierce, invincible, having no equal, ruthless, pay off people to get what ever they want and so unstoppable. An example, when they take the Professor, stab him, then shot him, then dismember him and burn the body in a furnace. Then you have my favorite quote, 'They were a precision instruments, scalpels sent to remove a disease'. Yet they get taken part by a team using tactic's that wasn't up to what the Order of Assassin's used or trained with. Just got too love how the badass bad guys, just put off killing Sean and Tommy, yet they don't blink killing people to leave no loose ends, or even members of the assassin's order. Your waiting for; A) Ms. Starks and Co. to come to the rescue, to free them. B) Alain and his crew make a mistake. C) Tara & Alex will come to their rescue and save the two. D) All of the above E) Combination of B & C Regardless how badly Dempsey hyped up or made the Order of Assassins to be, they get beat pretty simply as both Sean and Tommy escape from them in different ways. It made it totally unrealistic, unbelievable, and killed the story for me. Have to give him props for his writing kept me reading till the end. Since just about every book, has the same theme happening, just recycles them but like the Sean Wyatt character and just wish Dempsey would change it up. He needs to introduce new things to his storylines, it would make for a better reading experience or make it so I can't predict what will happen so easily. Don't get me wrong, Dempsey still pretty talented, he'll fill the void between books from your favorite author's in the action/adventure genre.
