Dante Jacoby #3
Dark Mirror: A Dante Jacoby Thriller
FROM MILLION COPY BESTSELLER MATT ROGERS
COMES THE THIRD BLOCKBUSTER IN THE DANTE SAGA Getting rich and unintentionally famous has its downsides. In Dante Jacoby's case, it's the beginning of a nightmare. After returning to San Francisco, a sorry-looking bank account forces him to take the plunge into entrepreneurship to fund his vigilantism. Thanks to wicked intelligence and a sickening work ethic, his novel spin on a nightlife venue takes off, and before he knows it, he’s an overnight success story. When online investigative sleuths pounce on paparazzi photos, Dante is publicly identified as the heir of the disgraced Jacoby crime family. Forced to release a statement denouncing his parents, he knows there will be far-reaching consequences as his anonymity is shattered. He thinks he’s braced for the worst, but he isn’t. A powerful figure makes contact, from a side of the world he wasn’t even sure existed.
‘You think you’re special, Dante?' the man asks. ' You think you’re Obelisk’s only project?’ Praise for the Dante Jacoby ★★★★★ - “One of the best thrillers ever . Kept me up at night reading, couldn't put it down. I've found me a new author."
★★★★★ - “One of my top thrillers this year. I loved that Dante's transition took a much different and deeper path than Rapp's American Assassin." ★★★★★ - “This book had a blockbuster beginning and ramped up into something spectacular ." ★★★★★ - “I'm so in awe of this writer, this story, its characterisations ... the right words fail me. It's a book I will never forget ." ★★★★★ - “I am still reeling. In many ways I felt the book was about ME. I had to force myself to stop reading but went back to it as soon as I could." ★★★★★ - “You wouldn't believe the ending." ★★★★★ - “I've read all of Matt Rogers' other books. This is by far his best work ." ★★★★★ - “Great action, fast paced, very good character development. I started this book on a Friday afternoon and finished the next day." ★★★★★ - “This book literally rockets out the starting gate and never slows .... The twists and turns are totally unexpected and heartbreaking. I am totally hooked!"

This series rivals his Slater and King series in the best ways possible! The growth of Dante as a special person continues as he forges his way forward both as a business entrepreneur and a decent and successful individual. But, the task of staying alive and keeping those he cares about safe and alive as well - and keeping them unaware of the many dark and dangerous facets of his past - are complicated by his struggles to right the wrongs done by his parents and their associates, and threatens to derail all he is working toward. But, giving up and defeat are no longer words in his new life. Hang on and get prepared for a wild ride! Sincerely hope the next book in the series is coming very soon!
Would have given this six stars if it were an option!

Another great read
It took me a few books to get past the vocabulary and spelling differences, but once I did I've read practically ever fiction book Rogers has written. I really enjoy his characters Nd how they develop. The plots are great and this one is no exception. Rogers again brings a character or two out of the past and leaves the door open to bring them back again. It makes it a bit harder to follow some books if picking up the series in the middle, but its worth going back to the beginning!

Not the usual storyline
This is massively different to the previous books, with Dante trying to set himself up as an entrepreneur
Unfortunately for him a government agency needs him to sort out a problem they have with an Operative of theirs and it all goes down hill from there
Slow to start with, but it's setting the scene and then slowly builds to the violent conclusion
Couple of instances you think that's cleverly done and towards the end you start thinking this is the next "King & Slater" series and it still might be

Dark Mirror
I think you should make this a series with Dante and Sam meeting at intervals and keeping their work the same. It was a good book and would like to see more like it. Keep women out of a good assassin book defeats their purpose when it is high action which is what I want to read.

Pretty good
This book was pretty well done. Could have been much longer given all the interesting characters. I enjoy this series. I like Dante but am shocked at his calm. He may need to get more emotional in the future to be a little more appealing. I get the Zen nature, but something has to rattle him and bring out the worst in him before bringing out a new best.

dDark Mirror
Dark mirror, what a read! Right from the hit go it grabs one’s attention and does so until the end! Action, every page flipped has it in spades. A little romance, a lot of devious directions and an unbelievable ending but with the knowledge that there’s more to come. Loved it! Matt Rogers knows how to pen his books.

Another thoughtful, action packed novel.
Matt Rogers does it again. Dante Jacoby is an interesting, introspective character, exploring his life and trying to be the best he can. It was an interesting premise adding Sam, his dark mirror image, but it helps to emphasise the changes that have happened to Dante, and what he is trying to achieve. His bar idea sounds awesome.

The stories get better and better…
The most fascinating character I’ve read about in years…not your typical superhero who can do no wrong, but a human who uses all he’s endowed with to not only better himself, but all he meets. What a thrill ride!

Heart pounding
A real triumph to Matt's abilities to take you deeper into the world of Dante. Can't wait to read book 4.
