3.75

3.75 rounded up to 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

This was my 6th book by this author (and the 5th within 2 weeks).
It was a fast and enthralling read, but the storytelling was very repetitive. Also there were too many flashbacks to the previous book, which I read just before this one, so I found even more repetitive because everything was too fresh in my head.
Regardless, this was a very entertaining and very atmospheric story, although I did think that the writing didn’t have the same quality as the other books.

Allen Eskens does it again. This book kept me on edge as the story developed. So well written that it felt real.

Once again Allen Eskens tells one hell of a story. The characters built up through the story. The challenge of good verses evil. Black and White. This book actually took you to a country side that through his description had me shivering with the cold. Such a good plot well though out and how it developed kept you just going from chapter to chapter.
