Boy Without
From bestselling author Luis Samways comes Boy Without, a tale that will leave you chilled to the bone.
Blake Marsh kills people for a living. He isn’t proud of it, but it pays the bills. In fact, it does more than just that. It affords him a certain lifestyle, a lifestyle that he’s grown accustomed to.
But he’s becoming tired of “the life” and wants out. Before he can say goodbye to the East End underworld, he has to do one last job for a kingpin named Gallows. For years now, Gallows has been his paymaster, and he’s paid him well. So Blake feels a certain level of loyalty toward the firm, enough loyalty to go against his gut feeling and do the job with no questions asked.
But there’s a problem. This job isn’t no ordinary hit. It’s a setup.
Something is brewing under the surface. Something sinister. Something dark.
So dark, it’s taking over.
Before Blake knows it, his life is turned upside down.
He’s asked to do something he never thought he’d do. Pushed to his limits, Blake must fight back…
… but will his fighting leave a boy without a father… without a home … or without a chance of survival?
This is one hit you aren’t going to want to miss!

The description of this book is not accurate it is not a bone chilling thriller. I don't even think i'd class it as a thriller...
It did have a lot of action, but the action was predictable and I didn't feel there were any twists in the story.
Having said that I did like the characters in the book, particularly Pedro. Also the book is written using short sentences and short chapters which I really like. I also liked the fact that when Gallows was narrating he was derogatory towards the accountant and objectified her, which is something true of his character.
Overall, this book was okay it was an easy and quick read with a poor story but good characters.
