Blown is a military thriller mystery adventure with sexy and dangerous Gregg Kaplan. Mobsters, assassins, good guy, bad guys and her. Gregg Kaplan was a Special Forces assassin, but now he works on the civilian side of government. He had to find her. He had four hours. But something happened and his cover is Blown. He had made Tony, Senior Inspector Moss of the Marshal’s Service,a promise. A promise is a promise and he would deliver the man to WitSec, no matter what. I quickly became enamored of Kaplan and his unique skills. The woman he is searching for is his love interest from Toymaker. I have not read that…yet. The identity of the assassin was a marvelous surprise. I love complex scenarios with more than one angle. It keeps the mystery alive and me on the edge of my seat with suspense, trying to figure it out. Chuck Barret makes me think he brings his personal life into his books with nicknames for his characters, like Dirt Man for Pete Moss. What can I say? It’s that something extra that gives the writing that additional kick. Do we see a book coming in the near future telling us his story? Could Greg and Tony become a team? I can see it. I received Blow from Chuck Barret in return for an honest review. First, buy this book. But before you turn to the first page, find a comfortable spot. Settle in. Because once you start reading, you won't want to stop. Blown is nonstop action. We're running, chasing, dodging bullets, throwing punches, dangling from cliffs, and burning from the heat of it all. We have twists that threaten to derail us. This book is pure adrenaline. The important thing, for me, is we aren't given excess action at the expense of character development. Within all the chaos, we have people struggling. The emotional depth feels honest. I got to know the subtleties of the characters' personalities. I loved Gregg Kaplan's character. He is a superhero with his own moral compass. He is the ultimate badass. I also loved the way Barrett handled the content. Often, with thrillers of this nature, authors get caught up in their own research and feel the need to educate readers. Barrett gives his readers the important facts, then trusts that we'll be able to keep up. I have no doubt that Barrett spent countless hours getting these details just right, but I never once felt that weight within his writing. If you love breathless action, thrillers with depth, plots with unexpected twists, memorable characters, and great writing, then you'll want to read this book. *I was given an advanced copy of Blown by the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for my honest review.* ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
