LAST DAY Review and Giveaway!

Last Day

by Richard LaPlante

Charlie Wolf is an undercover cop assigned to infiltrate the Sons of Fire motorcycle club, suspected of manufacturing and distributing methamphetamine up and down the East Coast. Charlie’s been undercover for a long time—long enough to have broken the two cardinal rules of his work. He’s forged a strong friendship with Ray Sasso, president of the Sons of Fire. And he’s become addicted to meth.

A near-fatal mistake during the attempted bust by the cops leaves a bullet lodged in the right temporal lobe of Charlie’s brain. Operating to remove it would likely kill Charlie. Living with it will change him forever.

Two men linked by a tangle of lies and twisted loyalties. Two men who could not be more different—or more the same. When they meet again, for one of them it will be the Last Day.

My review: There are books that slowly draw you in, seducing you in a leisurely manner. And then there are books that grab you from your seat and pull you into a wild ride of action and adventure.

LAST DAY falls into the latter category. Wow.

We have Charlie, the main character, who is a mixed bag of intentions. I am one of those readers who prefers clearly defined good and bad, so this undercover cop who has become tied to both his target and meth was not an easy sell. But there is something about Charlie and how he is written that overcame my own sensitivities. 

The writing in this book is strong and the story never flags. It and the characters stayed with me, lingering long after I’d finished reading. Right and wrong, good and bad, often are hazy lines in this world, which is a concept that could have made me uncomfortable–yet somehow it didn’t. That’s good writing and excellent storytelling.

And I have to admit that after finishing the book, I was exhausted. . .as though I’d been along for that crazy ride.

If you enjoy a thriller, you’ll love this intense story. I highly recommend it.
