Holy crap! Will Jacob ever get out from up under the dark cloud that has apparently followed him from one state to another? The hits just keep coming (literally), and the second book in Edgington's The Reaper series will leave you breathless.
What I Liked:
1. The Characters: From the good guys to the ones you want to run over with a car, these characters are well-written and different. I really love James in this book. He is caring and a good friend. He brings balance to a cast that is a mixed bag of likes and dislikes. I must say that I wasn't too crazy with the protagonist in this book, especially where his father was concerned. I hope he pulls his head out of a certain orifice before it's too late.
2. The Plot: In the first book, Racing the Reaper, we have a psychotic leech who is bound and determined to lay claim on the protagonist, and goes to outlandish lengths to try and make this happen. In Resuscitation, there is a controlling doctor and a disgruntled husband of a patient and both seem to want nothing more than to place a toe-tag on Jacob. The only question is which one will get to him first? Very intense!
3. The Medical Calls: Once again, Edgington easily drew me in with the action of the medical calls. They were gritty, fast-paced, and made me want to scream at times. The book actually starts off on one such call and I just knew I would have a heart attack before it was over with. I honestly never knew what paramedics, EMT's, and fire fighters go through on a daily basis. I will never take them for granted and have a new-found respect for them and what they do to save lives.
What I Didn't Like:
As with the first book in this series, I found some editing issues that, in my opinion, should have been caught by the editor of the publishing company the author is signed with. However, I don't hold these against the author. I think he did a wonderful job writing the story.
The only problem I have now is waiting until book three is released! Is it fall yet???

Resuscitation by Jerrid Edgington is the second book in the Racing the Reaper series and one that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you read through it.
The book begins shortly after the first one, Racing the Reaper, leaves off. Following after Bridge, the main character, Jacob, is in a new town and in a new job. Little does he know that his love interest, Bridge is already involved with a doctor at the hospital. Jacob discovers this when he happens to run into her and the doctor one day after Jacob delivers a patient via ambulance to the hospital.
The reader is taken on a journey through emotional highs and lows right along with Jacob. I cringed, cried and laughed out loud at some of the emergency calls that Jacob had to respond to, but in the end thought that all of it seemed very realistic in terms of what first responders go through on a daily basis.
Intertwined with the main plot is the struggle between Bridge and Jacob to work out a way to be together. All the while, Jacob must also deal with Bridge's ex-boyfriend who is a power hungry, control freak that gets his comeuppance later in the book.
Although this second book stands on its own, I would recommend reading the first book prior to this one to get the full back story of Jacob and his life before the new town and new job.
The author did a great job of tying up loose ends and delivering a complete, well-written sequel to Racing the Reaper (Book 1). Looking forward to the next book in the series.
