The synopsis caught my attention real quick so I was bound to give this a chance. Plus, I love mysteries and thrillers so it was quite expected of me to pick this up. Do I regret reading this? No. Did I hope for something more? Definitely yes. The start hooked me right away because the pace was on fire and everything was fast enough for me to get my senses on alert—something I love from my thrillers. After all, isn't thriller simply synonymous to excitement? I was by the edge of my seat and

I would like to thank Netgalley and Joffe Books for a review copy of Truth or Dead the second novel to feature FDLE (Florida Department of Law Enforcement) agent Tom Lange.Single mother and widow Heather Moss is rushing to work after a fraught start to the day with her daughter's when she takes a call which will change her life. A robotic voice threatens her children if she doesn't deliver an envelope to an inmate at the prison where she works as a therapist. She complies and the inmate dies. To...

EngagingTight logical story with good depth to characters. All too realistic scenario of the conflict between law enforcement and big time criminals in this high tech world. Recommended.

I received an e-ARC of Truth or Dead from Netgalley and the publishers in exchange for an honest review.3.5 stars.The Plot of the story is what I loved! There were plenty of twist and turns and I wanted to know how the story would end. As always with book with a "need-to-know" story-line, I ended up reading through it in under a day. The story felt like it had been written by an actual member of law enforcement because it felt very realistic. Although I haven't read the first book, I was able to...

After a rather slow beginning I really enjoyed the rest of the book. Fast paced and cunningly written it keeps the reader guessing until the very end. I look forward to the next in the series.

*I received this arc from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review*Due to be published: 14th December 2017Now I'm not going to lie, the synopsis for this book intrigued me but sadly I didn't enjoy. I really struggled to get through it and did think about DNF'ing it at one point, but that synopsis had me holding onto hope for something more. I haven't read a book by T.J Brearton before, but I am willing to give his books another chance because as I've come to learn, all authors have their 'goo...

Interesting thriller.It was slow at the beginning and other parts of the book. Unexplainable fights, five to one, didn't made any sense. But for me who was behind all was very obvious, because the way character was described. Many twist will keep you reading.

This is book 2 in the Tom Lange series but the first I have read. It works excellently as a stand-alone. The pace is set from the very first page as the question is raised: What wouldn't you do to protect your children?Tom is a special agent who is recovering from a traumatic case and the death of his brother. He is called back to work when an inmate dies in a suicide watch cell. From there his life becomes entangled with that of Heather Moss and her children.Heather has had a difficult life and...

This thriller was quite hard work I thought. Probably due to the fact it was an unfinished draft, and the American abbreviations that were at the back of the book couldn’t be accessed readily, without losing my place on the kindle app. I hadn’t got a clue what half of them meant. Typical Americans have an abbreviation for everything! It wasn’t a bad storyline but it was a bit slow, and it was fairly obvious who was behind it all. I think it could have been condensed somewhat, as everyone was run...

Truth or DeadI really enjoyed reading your book. I have read several and the characters were believable and the plot was intense. Looking forward to reading more of your books.

As with the first book, this one is an equally intelligent thriller. The basic plot is simple enough but there's a lot going on behind the scenes. Some of these background themes make it useful, if not essential, that you've read book #1 first. Either way, these side-bars, much of which is political manoeuvring between various law enforcement agencies, can be a little overwhelming, especially as there are numerous characters. Stay on top of it, this entanglement becomes highly charged and intere...

If someone called you and told you that unless you did exactly what they wanted, they would kill your children .. what choice would you make?This is what happens to social worker Heather Moss. What she did cost a county jail inmate his life.

https://donnasbookblog.wordpress.com/...This book was so intense, I loved the plot and the storyline was brilliant - really well thought through and planned out to make sure it really packed a punch!The characters are great and whilst this is the second book in the series, you are fine to read it as a stand alone.  I loved the fast pace for the book and it had me turning page after page, I didn't want to put to down and flew through the book.  Plenty of twists and turns and I loved the writing s...

This is the second in the Tom Lange series and from the first page the suspence starts to build. Heather Moss is due to assess an inmate at the county Jail and on her way to work she receives a phone call telling her if she doesn`t do what she is told her two daughters will be killed. The caller knows everything about her children even down to the clothing they are wearing that day.Terrified Heather does as shes asked, unaware of what shes actually done she rushes to collect her girls and sets o...
