I was provided an eARC by NetGalley and Ballantine Books. My Take It’s been awhile since I’ve read this series, and I’ve recently started back up, to catch up with events because I just adore Charlotte and Thomas.

Sweat was nominated in 2014 for the International Book Award for Thriller/Adventure and the National Indie Excellence Awards. Review source: The Story Plant, Stamford, Connecticut. My Take Nice set-up. Pretty long set-up, too. There wasn’t a depth of tension or drama in this. Mostly, I read on to discover what would happen next. How would Jake solve this? Who gets caught? Gilleo set up a number of subplots within that kept things interesting with some unexpected twists along the way. On the whole, I liked his characters. Yeah, even Peter Winthrop. At least Peter was honest about himself and I can appreciate that. Senator Day and the Changs…well, ya gotta have a few bad guys so you have someone to hiss at. Every time I started to feel sorry […]
