Thanks for a copy to read and review.
Isaiah is one impressive character and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Eye catching cover and the book does follow the blurb. This is a first by this author and the blurb caught my eye so I decided to give this book a try even though it's not my normal genre read. I must say though that the book was impressive, even though I got lost a couple of times with the military jargon that I'm not familiar with. All you need to know is that this is one tough dude. He acts like a sadist since every time he gets tortured he actually is able to get through the pain, like a mind over matter type deal. He also has like nine lives since a lot of the scenes have him getting so close to death only to watch the reaper slide by him. One lucky guy. After an incident in Alaska he has to lay low and chooses to do so at a farm in upstate NY. While there a girl goes missing, and he investigates it. Caught in a war between two gangs, he takes on everyone to learn the fate of the missing girl. It's an amazing ride, I hope there will be more books with Isaiah. Five stars of entertainment! Loved it!
