I have no idea how I found this book, I really don't. I saw it on my Kindle, looked at the synopsis and was like, "Well, why the heck not?"
Holy moly - from the very first page I was HOOKED. The writing has a very unique, very refreshing style to it that was exactly what I needed. I have more highlighted in this book than I have probably done in a very long time.
The main character is a DIShonorably discharged veteran, suffering from severe PTSD, who has found two other ex-military men...and together they find and take down bad guys. In very illegal ways.
There is so much humor in this book I laughed my butt off the entire time - although it is a very dry, very wrong type of funny. Like this:
"The tattoo on my left forearm says: SI VIS PACEM, PARA BELLUM, which means: "If you wish
peace, prepare for war." I wash my balls with that arm."
Or, "After a long day of assaulting high schoolers and making criminal threats against drug dealers, I like to unwind with a good book."
Or, "When the bartender brings my beer over I order the Cajun Blue Burger and stare at him dead in the eye without blinking until he leaves when he asks if I want French fries of heart-healthy cottage cheese on the side. I plan on dying amidst a sea of very dead bad guys long before cholesterol gets a crack at me."
Or, "The other one has prison tattoos on his face, which means he's a full-time a-hole and, clearly, makes good decisions."
I cannot even begin to explain how perfect the characters each are. The crazy girlfriend, the a-hole cop, the sexy singer, the high school tech nerd. All of them. Each character is so perfectly flawed, yet brilliant.
And the action in this book is off. the. charts. Someone's head is getting bashed in constantly, guns are always going off, threats are always being made and received, but not in a redundant and exhausting way. No, it's exciting and confusing and it makes you not able to put the book down.
Five HUGE stars, this was exactly what I needed to get out of my book funk. I can't wait to read more from this author.
