Wade J. Halverson

I read the first book, Life After 187, last year and I loved it. So when the author contacted me regarding this next book in the series, I jumped with delight.
Then I did the unthinkable.
I moved and the book got packed away, only to be put at the bottom of my tbr pile.
One day I decided to arrange my tbr pile in a better order, and I'm so glad I did. When I found this book, right away I had to get started on it.
Then I couldn't put it down. I even fell asleep with it on my night stand. I'm not one to take a book to bed, so that in itself was a rarity.
You know, for being a series book, I have told everyone I have seen in the last couple of days, this one can be read as a stand alone and you wouldn't get lost. Though I'd still recommend reading the first.
The action and suspense in this book was thicker, and I loved the fluidity of the words on the page. Very descriptive, but not so much so that you have sensory overload.
A really great combination of writing, storyline and characters.
I know I was an oaf, but I seriously hope Wade will send me 187 Victim's Revenge.... I would most surely read it immediately just to continue the journey.
Definitely going on my recommendation list!… (altro)

Violent but exciting. The main character is in prison for murder, and yet, I found that I had to like him - mostly because I could understand his reasons. But so much of the rest of the world he inhabits is corrupt. The situations Kane Silver is in almost from the time he enters prison almost seem to be too much to believe. Open fighting at parties, bribes. I can understand the underground nature once he escapes, but at the beginning? The one other thing that pushed a bit beyond my belief was the way every woman Kane met fell into his bed immediately.

Still, whether or not the book pushes your bounds of belief, it's an exciting, quick read. The descriptions are concice and vivid, as is the action. There are a lot of fights, but they do provide insight into the characters.

Overall, I liked reading this book and I'm more than glad that I was offered the chance.

I loved this book. Wade grabs a hold of you from page one and doesn't let go until you turn the last page. It's chocked full of no holds barred fights and fighters. If you are a fan of MMA or fights in general I think you would love this book.

You can't help but sympathize with Kane and even the other main guys even though they all were in prison for murder. I found myself rooting for all the boys during their fights and adventures that led them all over the world.

Wade truly has a gift of storytelling and I look forward to reading more by him. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this book to anyone who asked my opinion. It was fantastic!
