Unleashed by Karl Hill

Adam Black enjoyed his work as an SAS officer and was incredibly good at his job that required a great deal of killing. Retired from the service he is married, has a young daughter, and works as a lawyer with one of his best friends. Little does he know that running on a cold winter evening under a blood moon will require using his lethal killing skills to stay alive and in staying alive his actions will bring the wrath of a gangster down on his and his family’s heads.

This was an action-packed thrill ride that pitted two men against one another as they both seek justice…or what they perceive as justice.

What I liked:
* Adam: lethal killing machine, loving family man, won’t back down, capable of much – I liked him and was cheering him on throughout the story.
* The writing style including plot and pace
* The action scenes – graphic but not gratuitous though definitely plenty of violence and deaths in this story with a bit of torture, too.
* That the bad guys were eventually thwarted
* Meeting a new author and the character he created
* Wondering if Adam Black will star in more books in the future

What I did not like:
* The ease with which Peter Grant could snuff people out – callous, cold blooded, and evil
* Damian Grant: a low life that was a waste of space
* Most of the bad guys and bad things that I was meant to dislike

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes

Thank you to Bloodhound books for the ARC – This is my honest review.
