Welcome Back!
I just finished a book that Jason actually recommend to me. When Jason recommends a book I usually start with the question, “Is this a James Bond like book where bad things happen to the main character and he never dies no matter what?” If the answer is no, then I read the book!
Jason recommend a great book called:
The Second Life of Nick Mason
by Steve Hamilton
From Amazon:
Nick Mason has already spent five years inside a maximum security prison when an offer comes that will grant his release twenty years early. He accepts — but the deal comes with a terrible price.
Now, back on the streets, Nick Mason has a new house, a new car, money to burn, and a beautiful roommate. He’s returned to society, but he’s still a prisoner. Whenever his cell phone rings, day or night, Nick must answer it and follow whatever order he is given. It’s the deal he made with Darius Cole, a criminal mastermind serving a double-life term who runs an empire from his prison cell.
Forced to commit increasingly more dangerous crimes, hunted by the relentless detective who put him behind bars, and desperate to go straight and rebuild his life with his daughter and ex-wife, Nick will ultimately have to risk everything—his family, his sanity, and even his life—to finally break free.
From Me:
This book is a quick read and kept my attention. A perfect summer read because I didn’t have to do too much thinking about what was happening. There are a few twists and turns and definitely room for a squeal/series. I got a bit tired of all the time this guy spent in a car though! I have to admit, that I started to think about all the time spent in the car, that I had to reread what was actually happening and get over the all driving he does!
I would give this book a 3/5 stars.
The next book I am tackling is
The Fireman by Joe Hill
Joe Hill is Stephen King’s son and this is my first time reading a Joe Hill novel. I have always been a Stephen King fan and Jason is a Joe Hill fan, so I thought it was time to check out one of his books. This one is just a mere 768 pages! So I obviously won’t get this one done in a week!
