He is a West Point graduate and a veteran of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, and was an avid marathon and ultramarathon runner, skydiver, and BASE jumper, all of which inspired Jais, his debut novel.

Lethal Horizon by Jason Kasper
Shadow Strive #7

Excellent, action-packed, thought provoking, immersive read that was an excellent addition to this series.

What I liked:
* The team: five intrepid, highly skilled, lethal, dedicated, admirable, and intriguing men that worked together seamlessly
* The bond between the team members, the synchronicity of their actions, the use of their skillsets and their uncanny way of reading one another as well as the situation
* The location and learning more about the geography, people, and politics in Yemen
* Being able to see this story as if it were playing out on a big screen in a theater
* Thinking about what it would take to do the job that David and his team undertake as well as the impact it must have on them and their families
* The opportunity the team has to encounter and perhaps neutralize the boogieman they have been chasing
* Thinking about the information shared by someone they questioned and hoping that what he said was fiction and not true in the real world
* How pertinent to current political issues the story is
* Getting to see and catch up with David’s family
* Thinking about what the future of the team might be

What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about some in power and how easily they made questionable decisions – questionable to me anyway
* Knowing that many of the dark parts of this story actually do happen in real life

Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series/ by this author? Yes

Thank you to Severn River Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.

Riveting Read ~ Could not put it down ~ Stayed up till 3am reading and couldn’t put it down till I read the last page.

What I liked:
* The team: five intrepid, highly skilled, lethal, dedicated, admirable, and intriguing men that worked together seamlessly.
* Hearing David’s first-person experience and a more omniscient version of the other four team members experiences
* The location and learning more about the geography, people, and politics
* Being able to see this story as if it were playing out on a big screen in a theater
* The bond between the team members, the synchronicity of their actions, the use of their skillsets and their uncanny way of reading one another as well as the situation
* Jelena: local Serbian driver working with the USA in a special way and supporting the group in this book – she and Worthy – one and done or more?
* Hearing what was happening back in the USA at the Op-Cen and the twists and turns there as well as on the ground in Serbia
* Wondering what will happen next AND if Erik Wiesz will ever be brought down

What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like

Covert Kill by Jason Kasper
Shadow Strike #3

Action-packed thrill-ride from beginning to end ~ Could not put it down! Great addition to an amazing series!

What I liked”
* David Rivers “Suicide”: team leader, husband, father, ex-military, intelligent, team player, able to think on the fly, lethal, intriguing, works for the government but in a special capacity with an intriguing team of talented men
* Cancer: sniper, seasoned warrior, pragmatic, lethal, has premonitions, capable, deep, feel there is more to him than we have seen so far
* Angel: intelligence officer, puzzle solver, able to see the big picture, analyst, sees patterns, brilliant, militarily trained, lethal
* Doc and Racegun: two men that are a bit more elusive for me to pin down but equally interesting. One is a medic and the other sets the pace and leads on the ground – want to learn more about both of them
* Feeling that the men are a team but individuals with more to them than what we see when they are together on operations
* Getting to see new-to-me places in the world that I have never been and probably will never go
* Seeing these new places from the eyes of a team with a military task and experiencing it with them
* Getting a feel for the nitty gritty boots on the ground job that men like this team might experience when deployed
* Listening to the way the various members on the team felt
* Tolu: Nigerian, driver, entrepreneur, rap lover, hates Boku Haram for his own reasons
* Knowing who the bad guys were and seeing some of them dealt with
* The look at the fine line between the good and bad guys and how easy it would be to go either direction in life
* Knowing that there are men out there in real life willing to do the jobs this team does in this series
* The way the story is progressing and knowing that there is another book to look forward to
* That the “good guys”won – at least this time

What I didn’t like:
* Knowing that there are terrorist groups around the world kidnapping and killing and doing equally horrible things on a daily basis
* Knowing that there are corrupt politicians everywhere in the world
* Everything and everyone I was meant not to like

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely

* That it felt real
* The fight sequences and how they played out

* That the “bad guys” were not the usual ones
* The split-second decisions required and seeing how the team made those decisions
* Hearing David’s first-person experience and a more omniscient version of the other four team members experiences
* Seeing what was happening back at Langley while the team was on the ground
* Hearing about David’s family in memories he shared/flashed back to
