BOOK REVIEW: GREYSON GRAY: DEADFALL (GREYSON GRAY #3)

In Greyson Gray: Deadfall, the third installment in the Greyson Gray young adult thriller series, B. C. Tweedt scores a winner. When young Greyson’s friends, including love interest Sydney, are sent aboard a cruise ship to the Caribbean for safety from the new terrorist-driven nation of Pluribus, Greyson is left to fend for himself. On the run from his nemesis, the sinister Orion and battling ever-growing worries about his missing father, Greyson plunges into a world of tragedy, courage, and friendship as he races through battle lines and wild forests in an effort to reunite with those dear to him. Meanwhile, bound for the Bahamas, Sam, Jarryd, Nick, and  Sydney, accompanied by  their new Australian friend Avery, uncover a sinister plot and find themselves stranded with only their wits to save them.

Greyson Gray; Deadfall is exciting, gritty action at its best. The cast of Greyson’s friends form a realistic, often comedic backdrop to ease tension from the intense moments in Greyson’s adventures. The writing is supple and thought-provoking, well-crafted story-telling that draws readers in with edge-of –your-seat thrills and a romance that lends sweet touches to the harsh and often poignant backdrop. The action is punctuated with deeper messages and questions about society’s most vulnerable members-its children. B. C. Tweedt is a talented writer at the top of his game. Ambiance, exotic sets, sinking ships, loyal dogs, and even a hurricane thrown in—Tweedt pulls out all the stops. A chilling read likely to please fans of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D or Tomorrowland.
