This is the third installment to the Death Draft series. Although each installment is tagged as a book they are not stand alone books and need to be read in order. The main character Christine Avery is assaulted and her best friend murdered in the first book. Her initial suspect is her abusive ex-husband. In this installment circumstances begin to be more suspicious and the obvious suspect may not be the ex-husband. There is an additional level of heightened awareness that something bad is about to happen. The books ending again before the end of the story leaving the reader somewhat unsatisfied but ready to dive into the next installment. Although the series is interesting, in my opinion, they should all be published as a single book.

A Must Read Mystery
The plot continues to hold you by the grip of your seat. After Christina meets with her ex-husband, Paul Thornton, rumors start to surface on social media that he may have ordered a hit on her, which makes the story an even more of an absorbing page-turner. As the story moves forward, it exposes the role of wealth and power, secrets and lies, retribution, and political trickery, leading up to another bombshell episode, where Christina takes matters into her own hands, with more surprises to come.

The third entry in the Death Draft is a worthy addition.
I received this book for free and wanted to review it The third installment in the Death Draft series can be read out of order they will make more sense if read from the start. The plot makes use of modern social media and technology well to help develop the plot. The characters are well developed and the plot moves along at a very enjoyable pace. I think the book is worth reading.

This part of the book was very well written. The words just fly off the page, but the cliffhanger is the worse. It hangs you during a moment of action. There is a lot of action in this story and it keeps you interested. I believe other readers will enjoy this series.

Christina is trying to figure out who is behind her assault while dealing with her parents who are trying to help her recover. Oblique clues and strange conversations lead to unforeseen consequences for her. I received this book in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

This series gets more intense with each episode. It ends with a cliff-hanger which I won’t give away. On to #4.
