Holding
my breath with anticipation as I read the story at some parts and the suspense
causing increased excitement at others are a couple of my
reactions with each page I turned. I
love political intrigue/mysteries, especially those as well-crafted as 30
Days Hath Revenge, the first book in the Blake Meyer Mysteries. Before you read anymore of this review, let
me tell you that a sequel is to be released in early 2014 titled, Triple
Time. How I wish that book was
available now to read in order to see where the continuing action and suspense
leads!
Blake
Meyer had been in the military and then joined the FBI before marrying and
starting a family. Looking forward to
semi-retirement, he is instantly thrust to the forefront of action when his
past enemies seem to be resurrected. On
top of that, the danger isn’t just to America, but globally with death being
literally a breath away. With twists and
turns, the plot thickens. Blake Meyer is
about to experience pain he has never had before due to the evil intent of
others.
One
man has been reaching out to Blake about God, though Blake at this point claims
to be agnostic. Agents in the FBI as
well as the President have been looking for a mole, because trusting just
anyone could cost lives in uncalculated numbers. I could not stop reading this novel until the
end. It was intense and filled with
action that was nonstop. Also, seeing
how various characters were being portrayed kept the mystery alive as well as
active when other aspects of the plot were uncovered, causing me to wonder if
there was more to the players than met the eye.
When
the author contacted me about this series of novels, I was excited to see what
lay in store for me as I was being introduced to a plot that was awesome and
engaging. The subject of bioterroism operations
from the past with their code names being known to those who should have no
knowledge and the global perspective just kept me reading all night long. How long had the enemies of America planned to carry forth their plan of mass death ? Those who, in the past, were hated enemies are
now working together toward one and the same goal: To bring utter chaos to America.
I
don’t want to ruin the many different turns the plot takes or reveal too much
because I want you to hang onto your seats and enjoy this breathtaking
adventure! As I was turning to each new
chapter, I was reminded time and again of the many people who put their lives
on the line every day so others can enjoy the freedom of living here in
America. I was reminded of different spy
movies I have seen, not the James Bond ones, but others and the fact that
families of those on the front lines are heroes too. One truth that is clear throughout the book is
that without God we cannot have peace internally nor hope with each new day.
Thanks
to the author for offering me the opportunity to read the beginning of what I
perceive to be a top notch mystery series no one will want to miss! I can’t wait for book #2 to come out! Kudos for a job well done!
My
rating is 5+ stars.
