AARON has just been released from jail after causing the death of a boy in a hit-and-run. Now a free man, all he wants to do is leave his troubled past behind him. EVELYN, consumed by grief and rage, has been counting down the days until this moment. After eleven long years, she is finally able to exact the revenge her late son deserves. TOBIAS knows what his wife is planning, and as they embark on a breathless pursuit across the Nevada desert, he is determined to do everything he can to save her from herself. Even if it means protecting the man who killed their son. Locked in a blood-soaked collision course, they’re about to find out what waits for them at the end of the road.

I don’t know what it is but my God, Jack Jordan knows how to write a thriller. The three lead characters were so well drawn out, the story enveloped around them and made it even more enjoyable. The first person perspective was an awesome choice for this book, it allowed to see what each of the characters were thinking, feeling and what obstacles stood in their way. Another shout out to the narrators of the book, who made each character their own and fully embraced the emotion and depth of what journey they were taking.

LIKE I SAID IN THE TITLE, HE’S ONLY GONE AND DONE IT AGAIN. JACK JORDAN YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR AND A BRILLIANT AUTHOR, CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH NEXT!!!!!!

5 STAR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

JACK JORDAN YOU’VE DONE IT AGAIN!!!!!!!
