That was something else. I do love John's sense of humor. I liked the fact that he found something new to live for. I don't know if this will be the last book in this series but I hope that there will be at least one more. One to let us know how things are really going for them. Awesome story though. I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Starting the ground running with this next installment of the Joseph Hunter Series. Spine tingling and heart pounding action packed storyline. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. Unable to stop reading and then it leaves you wanting for more. Great book and I really enjoyed it.

I love a great snarky antihero. The characters in this series are so well developed and the world-building is superb. Each book can be read as a stand-alone but, the series as a whole is a great arc. One of the things I enjoyed most was the breaking of the fourth wall as our main character talks to the reader.

Guilty pleasure
Irreverent and funny. This is a little bit like a cross between dead pool and Dresden. I really enjoyed the series. I think the last book fell apart a little bit trying to make everything fit together, but a good story.

Lmao
Great series, Alex Gates knows how to combine dark stories with just the right amount of humor. It's a definite hit, quick paced and utterly ridiculous at times.
