This is my kind of book. Fast paced thriller, well-developed characters, agencies and countering terrorism. Definitely next book I'm reading. Thank you for an enlightening review.

This suspenseful action book looks exciting. You have described it well. I like the idea of a husband and wife team being the protagonists. I'll have to check it out.

This is not a genre of book I read (though I do watch the movies based on these kinds of books), but it sounds like an excellent book within the genre. If there's a movie version, I'll definitely go see it.

I haven't read the first three books in the series, but I may have to add them all to the list now! This sounds amazing! Thanks for the review!

The author's attention to the character development, in spite of this being the fourth book of the series, was what really convinced me! Thanks for the amazing recommendation!

I'm glad that this can be read as a standalone for anyone interested in picking up this book without committing to the other three. Personally I didn't connect with the writing even after being professionally edited, so I'll probably skip this one, but thank you for the review!

The combination of action and suspense with a romantic subplot makes for a very interesting read. I was definitely not bored while reading this novel! :D

Latest Review: Burn Zones by Jorge P. Newbery

Post by J3nni315 »

This book sounds right up my ally. I get a feeling that the romance between the two main characters takes the back burner in this story, which I love. It's also scary to think about how real this fiction book is. Great review, I'll add this book to my TBR!

I love the way you include information about/from the author and also the detail you give in this review. I think it is important that you mentioned the pace of the book because this could be a dealbreaker in this genre. The fact it is fast-paced would entice more people to potentially read the novel. This is a great review!

A book about terrorism and individuals who have put themselves to tackle the menace is quite intriguing, I look forward to reading it. Congrats to the book of the day.

It looks appealing because of the realistic plot. From the sample it looks like there is a lot of detail, which is a plus for me. Terrorism seems like such a large-scale problem and it's interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes. Nice review!

I'm excited that today's BOTD is a stand-alone international thriler, despite it being Book 4 in the series. With well-developed characters and a fast-moving plot, filled with action, suspense, and emotion, this one sounds like a winner to me!! Thank you so much! :-)

I found the book highly suspensful, full of realistic characters, and a probable future terrorism event. I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars, and I appreciate the inciteful review that highlighted the best the book had to offer.
Thanks for your comment.
