Spy/action/adventure-lite. A quick, fun read with CIA/black ops as a family affair, with engaging characters I'd like to read more about. Realistic? Maybe not, but I'm pleased to find something in this genre that isn't grim, dark and subjects the reader to graphic torture scenes.I don't know what everyone else was reading but this book is boring. It started off like it was going to be great and well paced. Then it slowed way down, to a crawl, while we read about the mother's past as a spy in the most inauthentic and mechanical way possible. The whole dynamic between the family members is just off somehow.I really wish I got the same "fast paced thriller" other readers got.
For better or worse, thrilers tend to be similar in many ways. At first this book seems to follow that rule, but after reading it I realized that this book was actually pretty clever in many ways. It's original for sure with a story that gets deeper and more complex as you read. The writing is good and flows well compared to some thrillers I've read. I'd say that this is worth the read if your in the mood for an original thriller.
Bloodline had moments that I enjoyed, but overall I had several issues that prevented me from enjoying this fully. Frankly I'm surprised by the overwhelming number of five star reviews.The action scenes were decent and it was interesting to see the husband and wife knowing each other so well that they worked seamlessly as a team. I also liked the choice of the story being told from the father's POV - for some reason this worked well.Right after a great paced beginning, there was a long scene
By John J Davis Well yet more kickass women in this book one of whom is seriously scary. I wonder just how much truth about the Mossad there is in what we are told in the book? Looking up the author he doesnt say anything about having worked for any intelligence agency but I am sure that the details are available for research. What is interesting is that he admits to having an American Indian in the family just as his father in the family around which the book is written, has. So some of the
This debut novel by John Davis is well written and action-packed. Ron Graham is retired ex-CIA who helps his wife Valerie, ex-Mossad, run her family's business. The story opens with a bang when two men break into their home and attempt to kidnap their daughter Leecy. Ron and Valerie take care of these intruders with lethal skill. But then the FBI arrives in town to interrogate them. Except that they are crooks masquerading as FBI. When Ron and Valerie realize this they head for the hills,
"Blood Line" by John J. Davis is a debut thriller, a fast-paced thriller/action novel, an espionage thriller. If you are a fan of spy novels, espionage, and or suspense thrillers, you are in for a treat! But this book is more than just a straightforward spy story, it's also a story about the strength of family ties, and the lengths we go to protect them. This is no ordinary family. Ron and his wife Valerie Granger were former CIA operatives, but even though they have been retired from the CIA
