Robin Parrish’s books tend to mess with my head and they definitely aren’t something I read right before bed! They also take me WAY out of my comfort zone, as was the case when I read Nightmare. That book was not only spine-tingling – it SCARED me! I usually don’t want to be creeped out by what I’m reading but these books have a way of drawing you right into the middle of the plot and as much as you might want to put it down? You are compelled to keep reading.

This was a really easy book to read, lots of action. The main character is an elite war hero with amazing skills and a team that provides him with cool gadgets for crime fighting. He develops a plan to "show the world a better way" and begins to help people by saving them from crime and villains. The action was great; the only issues I had were the character of Alice, while loveable and necessary to the story, seemed a bit unrealistic- he saves her from an abusive husband and immediat

Nolan Gray was being held with a gun to his head and he knew he was about to die, so what happened? I started to read this story and found it quite challenging. Nolan was dead and then he wasn't. He had been in the service and had been captured and in prison with the President of the United States when he was in the service. So upon the death of Nolan President Thornton Hastings knew what a brave man he was and what suffering he took for the other men that was captured nine years before, so

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
Nolan Gray knows just how hard this world can be, the evil that dwells in the hearts of men that are corrupted by greed and pride. Spending much of his life not only serving in the armed forces as a trained specialist in every type of training he could get his hands on, now he seeks to fulfill a promise he made to himself.

I am generally a reader of Christian chick-lit, but every once in a while a girl needs something a bit different. For a while now, Robin Parrish has been an author that I like to read when it’s time for that something different. While I liked Offworld and Nightmare better than Vigilante, this was still quite a terrific read. Offworld and Nightmare are very different books than Vigilante in that they are more supernatural and Vigilante is more superhero, a difference I respected and kept in mi

Vigilante, by Robin Parrish, Bethany House Publishers, 2011, 368 Pages, ISBN-13: 978-0764206085, $14.99
“Just do it!” insisted elite super-soldier, Nolan Gray.
Nolan’s former commander and best friend counted to three, aimed the silenced P226 SIG pistol and fired—twice at close range—and “Nolan Grey was no more.”
Thus begins Robin Parrish’s new release, Vigilante, an epic tale of good and evil where Nolan, America’s national hero, fakes his own death and masq More...

Nolan Gray is a decorated war hero and a kick-butt soldier trained in weapons and strategies in war. He knows evil and has seen more than enough things to break his spirit and his sanity. Instead of becoming a bitter shell of man though, Nolan has promised himself and the innocent of the world that he would become the justice they have been yearning for. He alone would rid the world of evil and corrupt men and bring about peace and hope to society that has long ago lost their way. After years of

Vigilante by Robin Parrish is a thought-provoking look at just how far a man can be pushed. Nolan Gray earned a reputation as America's hero after his actions while a captured soldier helped bring his men home. It was Nolan's faith in God that carried him through the incredibly dark time, and in the end, he and friend Thornton Hastings made a vow to each other that when they got home they would try to fix what was broken in the world. In the years since they made that promise, Thornton has gone

Sometimes you read and book and the whole way through you are just thinking - "Has anyone in Hollywood picked this up to make a movie out of it yet???" Vigilante is one of those books! The entire time I was reading it I felt like I was in the middle of an action hero movie - fast paced, unique characters, evil bad guys, good guys getting misled on their journey and finding their way back. So many twists and turns and some unexpected demises. I actually cried at a couple parts and got m

I LOVED Vigilante! I've read four books by Robin Parrish ('Relentless', 'Fearless', 'Merciless', and 'Vigilante') and 'Vigilante' is definitely my favorite. The story was very addicting - there was suspense throughout and the plot was great!

woo! a bit of a ride this one! Nolan Gray, former special military trained, fakes his death to mount a war on crime, turning into a vigilante out to stop criminals in New York City. In his attempt to show people "a better way" (a motto he uses), he finds himself up against a powerful crime boss who makes his personal vendetta to punish Nolan for perceived wrongs done against him.

Robin Parrish in his new book, "Vigilante", published by Bethany House brings us into a world where a modern hero wants to operate outside of the law.
In the old pulp novels of the thirties and forties the pages were full of heroes who decided the law needed their help to bring down bad guys, dressed up behind a mask and sometimes cape, to provide that help. Most of those heroes still survive today. Robin Parrish has brought back this kind of hero in "Vigilante". More...

Vigilante is about Nolan Gray, a popular and highly trained ex-military man who fakes his own death and disfigures his identity to fight crime. He is now known as "The Hand" who cleans up the streets in a superhero-ish extreme way with his task force and "inspector gadget" meets "007" like equipment. He gains a nemesis who is out to destroy him and his team of "do gooders" & will stop at nothing for revenge. Will good prevail or will evil have it's way?
