Easy to follow with gore that serves a purpose! We're not too far off from a show like this becoming reality and it was really cool following two characters on opposite sides of the morality scale.
This read flew by and I'm really stoked to check out the rest in the series! I gotta know what happens with Mary!

This was both a great beginning to what looks to be an interesting extreme horror series and a darkly funny look at the plague that is reality TV. From a sociopath producer to a simpering assistant to some rather desperate and half crazy contestants, Easy Money is a show destined for greatness. It was enjoyably fast paced even in the backstory chapters. Damon is a character you can't help but love to hate, and I can't wait to see where the series goes next.

I am old enough to remember when the only "reality show" was the nightly news, and maybe The People's Court, Cops, and a slew of talk shows where people mostly complained about their spouses. These days, there are a ton of naked dating shows, surviving the wilderness, and willingness to marry a stranger for a chance to be on TV. So is it really that far fetched to think there could ever be a show where people willingly injure and maim themselves for cash? Probably not, and the author imagines just such a future where people will do anything for cash while a live audience enjoys their pain. "Easy Money" is the brain child of a twisted sadist who may have once been something close to normal but since the death of his only child and dissolution of his marriage, has embraced his darkest desires to see human suffering up close and personal.
This was a quick and gruesome read.
