Judgement & Wrath is the second book in Matt Hilton’s Joe Hunter series and my third review of the action series. Having reviewed Cut and Run (Joe Hunter #4) and Dead Men’s Dust (Joe Hunter #1) I set about reading Hilton’s second captivating instalment.
Once again the narrative is written from a first person point of view (Joe Hunter) and third person narrative (Dantalion the hitman); this is without doubt Matt Hilton’s trade mark along with the non-stop action that lies within.

Judgement and Wrath by Matt Hilton was a quick, excitable read. I found it very interesting and am planning on reading all of the other books in the Joe Hunter series.
The plot resembled the first book in the series, Dead Men’s Dust, in which Hunter is on a job and a serial killer is targeting the people he is trying to protect. However, I found Judgement and Wrath to be just a cut above the first in the story, the killer that Hilton created in Dantalion was particularly creepy.

Book 2 in the Joe Hunter Thriller Series
If you are a thriller seeker and love high octane stories there is nothing like a romp through the pages with protagonist Joe Hunter. The style follows pretty much the same format as its prequel "Dead Men's Dust" providing the reader with plenty of action, lots of shooting, endless chases and testosterone at its best. The main characters are Joe Hunter and his sidekick Jared Rington (Rink), two professional investigators with an army More...

If you dig the larger than life male action heroes, then Judgment and Wrath should be right in your wheelhouse. On occasion, I like the escapism as I did here. Tough guy Joe Hunter and his pal Rink are a pair of ex-commando partners who're hired to do troubleshooting for their clients. This time around they take on a religious nut job who calls himself Dantalion. There are lots of chase scenes between the stuff blowing up, and the body count rises fast. At times, you may roll your eyes at Hunter

This was my first encounter with Joe Hunter, and I know it won't be my last!
The story in "Judgement and Wrath" grabs the reader right from the start, and takes them at a breakneck pace as the "Fixer" with his modified SIG Sauer races against the clock to protect the innocent, and make sure the bad guys get their due.
I enjoyed the hard-headed ethic of Joe, sticking to his "results by any means necessary", even when that means showing a somewha More...

PROTAGONIST: Joe Hunter, former military operative
SETTING: Florida
SERIES: #2 of 2
RATING: 2.25
WHY: Joe Hunter is hired by Richard Dean to rescue his daughter, Marianne, from her rich and abusive boyfriend. Bradley is also targeted by a contract killer who is a total psychopath using the name of a fallen angel, Dantalion. The plot was derivative; the serial killer stuff totally clichéd. The only positive was that Hilton wrote good action scenes. Credibility issues and More...

A great second novel from a a writer who deserves far more recognition than he's already got. On the basis of the two I've read I'd put him up there with Stephen Leather and Lee Child - though Child *just* nudges it as the Reacher books are insanely good.
Joe Hunter is a great lead character. The background given to him in Dead Man's Dust has been fleshed out a bit in this second novel, and the addition of a character biography at the back is a little like the aforementioned Reacher nov More...

Joe Hunter is hired by Richard Dean who wants to keep his daughter safe from her abusive boyfriend, but the truth is different and to complicate the story a fallen angel, Dantalion, intervenes.
The narration follows an usual action plot with gun fires, car chasing, and all still alive, with a lot of scratches, until the end.
The best parts of the book are the changing of point of views between Joe Hunter and Dantalion, when the same action is viewed from different angles.

The second in the series of Joe Hunter novels.
A fantastic read if you like thrillers as is very hard to put down once you pick it up.
There are comparisons with Jack Reacher, but in my opinion, Joe Hunter is much better.
This book is my particular favourite of Matt`s along with Blood and Ashes.
I am looking forward to Dead Mens Harvest, the latest addition to the series.

Having previously decided not to bother with another Matt Hilton novel I picked this one up and enjoyed it. The writing was better than expected and it was genuinely tense.

This my 2nd in this series...the hero, Joe Hilton is a low-rent Jack Reacher in comparison to a series I await breathlessly...entertaining and fulfilling enough to be a stop-gap between Child's books...I will continue the series

I took a chance on this book, I knew nothing of Matt Hilton when I bought this. I have been rewarded with a really well written thriller that kept the pace up nicely. I literally plowed through the pages.
If you like your thrillers then you will love this book.

Hunter is asked to protect a young woman from a supposed abusive boyfriend and finds himself entangled in a case involving a deluded hitman who thinks he's Dantalion, a Fallen Angel. Very exciting page turner and I'm glad to see that my faith in the author from his first book has been confirmed as this is a definite improvement from Dead Men's Dust. Hilton is a writer to watch.
