The Cult of Koo Kway Jay Mims Books Reviews
Brought to you by OBS reviewer Lindsay
I'm afraid I should start this review with a disclaimer I have not read the first book in The Oncoming Storm series. So, just keep that in mind as you read on. Dan Landis is a private investigator. During the course of a `normal' workday, he stumbles across a young woman who is about to be mugged, or worse, by two men in a back alley. Handcuffed, he takes on the two men to rescue the girl, only to discover she has a connection to a current missing college professor case. As the pair try to locate the missing person, they discover 2 more professors have also gone missing. As they begin to dig deeper, the truth unravels and the pair are pulled into a web of drugs and a cult.
As a P.I., Landis has seen his share of adventures. However, it seems as if he gets in over his head when he rescues Abbey, as she likes to be called, from 2 men in an alley. It seems as if the two have an instant connection, however, I suppose the danger in their first meeting could have something to do with that. I really liked how the author gave us a glimpse into Landis' head. Throughout the book we hear from the voice inside his head. This voice provides the brutal honesty regarding his thoughts and feelings that we otherwise wouldn't see from just the dialog alone. I really felt this additional piece helped to pull together his character. 'The voice' also had me chuckling at times which is always an added bonus. It's through this `voice' that we can see how deeply involved Landis becomes in the missing professors case. As his friendship with Abbey progresses, we can see this case take on a personal aspect for him. Personal involvement is not usually something that this P.I. allows in his work. I feel this adds a lot of depth to the book that would otherwise be an empty mystery. I really like Landis' character. I think he is a fresh new face that keeps you entertained throughout the entire book.
Overall, I did like this book. I decided to give the book 4 stars because I felt the story was good and I liked Dan Landis' character. However, I just didn't get that wow factor that I look for to earn a 5 star review. But, that doesn't mean you should pass over this book either. It's a good fast-paced book that will keep you turning the page. If you are a mystery fan, you will enjoy reading this book. I will be looking to read more about Dan Landis in the future, including the first book in The Oncoming Storm series.

The Cult of Koo Kway (The Oncoming Storm #2) by Jay Mims
3 Stars
I read book one ‘The five Santa’s’ in June, and easily connected with Dan, his character was so fun that he was instantly likable. I was glad to see Jay was able to keep up with Dan’s sarcastic, often dead pan, humour, throughout another book. I had worried it may have been a fluke and that Dan may become repetitive or stale, not so, which confirms my earlier suspicion that the author himself must have a similar sense of humour and quick wit as his character.
I have to admit I found the plot a little confusing at times, but read on hoping it would all make sense and tie together in the end. It did sort of become clearer but there were still parts of the story that I struggled with. The Cult of Koo Kway, is a mystery/thriller, I was hoping for a romance between Dan and Abbey to satisfy my need for love in all I read, but their relationship is not quite that relaxed…maybe in the next book!
There are more books in this series and Dan is the type of character that can hold his own over a number of different stories providing Mr. Mims can keep his ideas for cases fresh. I’m sure I will be reading more by this author.

I’m stumbling at where to begin. There’s so much happening right out of the gate, that I felt a little lost. Then I caught my breath, joined the fray, and had a rip tear time with this second book.
I swear private investigator Dan Landis is his own worst enemy. He speaks before thinking and makes things harder for himself. Despite that, I found myself still charmed by his quirks and snark and looking forward to his movie quotes. I’m happy to say he is still very much that character from the first book.
Dan is having a bad day. Things seem to be looking up when he rescues a young woman from some muggers. But, her connection to some missing professors leads him deep into a strange case with an odd clue from an old movie, The Cult of Koo Kway.
Missing persons, death by poisoning, cults and drugs. All of this is a lot to handle. And there’s also someone out to get Dan. Nothing new there. Someone’s always out to get him.
The budding romance between Dan and Abbey(AKA Bunny Hayes) is in slo-mo. I suspect the author is doing that on purpose. Keeping me hungry for more between these two. Making me want to be there, to not miss it when they finally do come together.
That saying, “Hold on to your butt,” works perfectly for this book. There’s mystery upon mystery to test your sleuthing skills and keep you rapt to the final pages. What a rip!
I received this book for my honest review.
This book was amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed it! Would recommend to everyone! clean, well written. A joy to read! looking forward to more from this author.
Great book! You think you know what's going to happen, but, you don't! Good, fast read. Cannot wait to read the rest of the series!
