Not too bad. This is a book where you definitely have to suspend belief. Towards the end there was something that really had me rolling my eyes but it lead to a twist I never saw coming!
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway which didn't influence my review.I've read other books by this author and enjoyed them, but I think that this was his best novel yet. It had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish, afraid to see what happened next, while at the same time, afraid that I couldn't read the book fast enough to see what happened next. This suspenseful book was full of surprises that I never saw coming. And it was full of characters I came to care about, making me nervou...
Wow this was suspenseful! We start out with a young man witnessing a murder and has to be put in witness protection. He finds his way to Ethan and Allison Serbin a couple that run a survivor training course and once a year take in troubled teens as a way to help them learn some very important life skills. When I read the publishers summary I had the plot all worked out in my mind as pretty typical, but after reading the sample I thought it was well written and jumped in. This story is not typica...
Saw a preview for this new movie last night (2021) and thought the premise looked familiar--guess I read it in 2014! Original review: Very fast paced book--a thriller that just keeps moving in different directions. A little surprise twist, but it's more about the journey and the adventure than the mystery. Overall just a fun summer read.
As soon as I read the synopsis for this, I knew I had to pick it up during my next library run. Perhaps I had too high of expectations (especially considering the 3* rating I gave The Cypress House last year), but I'm still bummed I didn't enjoy it more. It took over a week to finish this, due to the fact I read multiple books in between, because by page 20 I felt like I could put it down. (Never a good sign.) Several days later I decided to buckle down & get through it. Thankfully, the journey
If you like action, suspense and the thrill of the chase, then this book is definitely for you. Another good book by Michael Koryta and I highly recommend this book to all MK fans and new ones too.
This was a thriller lover's thrilling thriller. The pacing was perfect, the action just kept coming. Loved the characters- the heroes are heroic, the villains are villainous and the setting in mountainous Montana, evocative. 4 1/2 stars rounded up.
Another really good book by this author who I always enjoy. This was IMO a very complicated story with lots of characters and lots of descriptions of area people were roaming around in looking for each other. The story is mainly about a young boy who is sent to a camp to go into something like witness protection because people are trying to kill him because he witnessed a murder. Very complicated, lots of different characters but a very good story. I cannot see how they made this into a 2 hour m...
3.5 Stars: Although this novel is nearly 400 pages, it’s a quick and highly satisfying thriller read. I wanted a quick read that grabbed me in which I got lost in the story, and this novel was that. It’s easily read and simply written.It’s a story of a boy who witnessed a crime so horrific that he needs to be in the witness protection agency. However, the criminals are tied to the police, so the witness protection plan isn’t feasible. The boy needs to be off the grid. It’s decided to hide him i

Hellhound Duo from Hades' HollowYet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. (King James Version, Job 5:7)Cue up "Dueling Banjos":This book kept me interested with a decent plot line. It's most notable for a pair of brothers that were the most believable and meanest set of psychotic villains I've seen in a story. On the other hand, it seemed the author took unnecessary shortcuts to arrive at the climax, which seemed forced. All in all, a good, not great, thriller.I hope Mr. Koryta wri...
