Dilation: Written By Blood: Book Three

Rate this book
Most plans, good or bad, start with good intentions.
Marcene wouldn’t let good intentions get in the way of hers.

Before Marcene became a manipulating force in Conviction and Friction, she was co-head of a genetics project for the Russian government, unlocking the secrets of human chromosomes for military use. When her research partner, Richard Speck, reveals his intention to build his own private army of super-soldiers, Marcene takes extreme measures to thwart his objectives at every turn.

Dilation follows Marcene’s plot to stop Speck and unveils shocking aspects of William, Cane, and Daniel’s pasts. As her quest takes a darker turn into obsession, the key to her salvation may lie in the very monsters she’s created...


DILATION is the third book in the WRITTEN BY BLOOD series. It contains spoilers to the previous books. It is recommended that readers start with the Conviction Prequels and enjoy the books in order.

About the author

Dwayne Gill

13 books95 followers

USA Today Bestselling Author Dwayne Gill first thought of the premise of his series "Written By Blood" when he was just twelve years old. Growing up, he loved action movies and larger-than-life heroes, which is evident when reading his writing.
However, as he got older, he became bothered by the typical action figure tropes and the predictability of the plots, causing his series idea to evolve further.

If you like action thrillers, unlikely, conflicted heroes, twists, and character development that has a much deeper moral than most other thrillers in its genre, you'll want to follow the series "Written By Blood."

Dwayne Gill lives in Louisiana with his wife, son, and daughter.

This book does an amazing job of tying off all the loose ends and filling in all the holes. It's a bit of a wild ride and can be confusing at times

It is essential for you to read the other books in this series to get the full force of this book - don't try to start here in the series.

This could easily serve as the capstone of the series, finishing everything off, or it could also be the jumping-off point for yet another story with the brothers.

It appears that Marcene kept detailed records of her actions over the years. This has answered a lot of questions raised whilst reading this series. All three sons now know everything, including the name and whereabouts of their father. Natalie learned that she is the love child of Marcene and Bowman. As to Shaw, the man that stood with Marcene throughout it all, he discovers too late that Natalie can be just as manipulative as her mother.

As a huge fan of this series, I patiently waited for the next installment. I was NOT disappointed!

A streamlined, flowing, fill-in-blanks, family drama, who can you trust, not-so-futuristic conspiracy laden adventure with an ending you won't see coming! (and don't jump ahead and spoil it for yourself!)

So glad they're back! Now the waiting begins again...

I received a free ARC copy of this book via Booksprout and am thrilled to give you my honest review.
