King & Slater #15
Daggers
AS THE BODIES OF THE INNOCENT PILE, EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE…It’s been a year of peace. Now it's over.
A vicious and mysterious assassin surfaces in the tiny town of Millinocket, and there’s only one conceivable reason for their presence. As King and Slater watch those they know added to the body count, their world begins to their desire for a normal existence is irreconcilable with the brutal reality of their lives. They’re in Groundhog Day, hunted again and again by malevolent forces, and something has to change.
Decisions must be made, changes that will shape their lives forever.
This time, it’s different…
Praise for Matt

★★★★★ - “All of these books I seem to read in one day. There's a reason why.”
★★★★★ - “Just when I think it can't get better, it does.”
★★★★★ - “The only time the fast paced action slows even slightly, it’s to deliver heavy philosophy on how to survive minute-to-minute deadly events. Lots of fun to read.”
★★★★★ - “The only problem is that it's over way too soon. Keep 'em coming.”
★★★★★ - “You know you love a series when you hope it’s made into a movie.”
★★★★★ - “Another great story from Matt Rogers. I have read them all (some three times) and I have yet to be disappointed.”

★★★★★ - “Matt Rogers has what seems an unlimited well of talent!”

This one really took my breathe away. Slater and King are under siege from parties unknown or are they? What happens in this amazing story calls into question what our heroes believe to be their truths. The things they have accepted as who they are. Now as things hear up and the action flows they are suddenly not sure. I was on the edge of my seat practically holding my breathe til the last page and still wasn’t ready for the turn of events! One of my favs in this series, Rogers is a master story teller and he laid it all out on the line with this one. Kudos!

Slightly different to previous
This time round family is what takes precedence
This time round they are hunted by a very unlikely team, one that shouldn't exist and only does because of Will and Jason's previous adventures
It's still as fast paced as ever and lots of introspection, especially from Will. The ending is inevitable and not as surprising as I think the author wants it to be. The next book will be interesting, I cannot see how the story progresses from here in it's current form

Good characters and story. King and Slater can't have a day's off? A killer with intentions. The boys are back with or without their consent.
When a killer strike, King and Slater have to be in the middle of it or more bodies will continue to show, until no more is acceptable.
A good story with some details off, but a good book no matter what.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Always a good read
I've really enjoyed this series. The books are well written and the characters while flawed always try to do the right thing. While reading "Daggers" it became obvious that the series is winding down. I'm disappointed, but I much prefer it ending to getting so far off the original story that it loses it's identity.

Daggers: A King & Slater Thriller
I would hate to see an end to King and Slater, but all good things must end sometime. Well written and developed probably one of the best stories lately!!

Another action packed tale
Another story with all the action and adventure you could ever ask for. The characters are so real that you connect with them do well that you feel like you're right there with them. Great reading.

Waiting for the next adventure. Book 16
A good read & entertaining. Appreciate the "continuing " series with familiar characters. Always some good twists and turns although not necessarily overly sophisticated.

OMG!!!
Oh my goodness how much did I cry reading this? Although I really hate this series to end it does feel right. It's just having cried a river reading this I'm not sure I'll ever be ready to read the last one.

Just brilliant
yet another outstanding storyline, is just one of those action packed books that grips you so hard it's almost impossible to put down...I didn't read from start to finish, I hope this isn't the end I've enjoyed the books so much.

This is another thriller by Matt Rogers,, in the vein of all the “King and Slater” books. A page turner I. It’s own right. Does time change everything? Only time will tell. But for now, it’s a weighting game.

Superb
I will never tire of these characters. I so much want to see them continue their journey. I call asleep reading them and wake to continue. I do hope this series continues.

My first....
....read of the series but I will go back an start with book one.

Can it be done?
This is a great story of the efforts of dedicated men making a concentrated effort to change their way of life and the problems that made it so difficult.

The end of a series
I have always enjoyed this series and hope to try some of the others. This is my nightly escape so I can sleep. Thanks King and Slater for the entertainment.

Incredible
I have followed this duo and their families from the beginning. I love their commitment to and for justice. I’ve agonized and worried about them. This author places the reader in the story. You feel so connected to the characters.
I truly cannot wait for the next installment . My heart broke for will and his family. Please fix this if possible.
