End Game by John Gilstrap

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


End Game strays a little from the usual Jonathan Grave story--people are kidnapped and Grave rescues them. This book...well, this book strays from that. I probably shouldn't say more for fear of giving away a part of the plot. Other than that point, the book falls in line with the previous ones in the series. If you've read those, you know what is going to happen...you just don't know the 'how' and that is the fun part.

I will say that I found myself doing something I've never done before, while reading--skipping over the more technical details and the mental conversations of people who were not Jonathan. Maybe, I've read so many of the author's books that I know the specific details of the weapons and explosives used that the information is redundant. I'm sure I would not have done that had End Game been the first or second book I had read.

I give End Game 5 stars and recommend it to anyone who enjoys action books with a good character who has good character. My one gripe is the language. While it is not littered throughout the book, I feel 50% of it is not necessary. I can't knock off a star for it, because I knew what was to come.

One more gripe (maybe a side note): I wish Jolaine would have had a greater role. I felt drawn into her character from the beginning.
