Exit Plan
HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO PROTECT THE ONES YOU LOVE?
THEN
Ten years ago, a covert government operation gone wrong separated Jack from Jessa, the girl he promised he would never leave.
NOW
Jack's special forces team receives a tip, leading them to a remote farmhouse in search of a group of hackers, led by the elusive Zane, who work for the same person he holds responsible for Jessa's death, ten years earlier.
Past and present collide as what was once lost is now standing in front of him and appears to be working for the very evil he is trying to end.
Jessa has been in hiding for the last decade. A traumatic event blocked out some of her memories and the information she needs to end her nightmare is hidden away in the only place she can't hack into, her own mind.
Everything is not as it first seems as years of secrets begin to unravel and all of the missing pieces are uncovered and put back in their proper places.
All but one.

I know, I know, I am in the minority here. EXIT PLAN: KILL CODE by Sheri Landry is certainly gritty, but not quite so heroic as the synopsis leads one to believe. For me, it was over-the-top in shock value. Far too much depravity and just a little to the side of being believable.
How many covert ops guys would be allowed to help rescue his former flame? How many would have rough sex with her, while she is in custody with his team on the other side of the door? Not realistic.
Graphic torture scenes that go beyond necessary, are gut-churning. It seems this author has jumped on the "how far can we push the limits to sell books" train and I am disappointed.
Did I finish the book? Yes, because if I hadn't, how could I review it?

I received an Advance Reader Copy in exchange for an unbiased review. Thank you author Sheri Landry and Netgalley. The book releases April 2020.
Deliciously dark, this book reminds me for some reason of the 1980s movie Tequila Sunrise (except with hackers instead of drug dealers). Both leading men are Alpha males with secrets. Throw in a corrupt crime syndicate and smokin' hot tension between Tessa and Jack and you have a winner! I love his control issues. This would've been a hit 80s era show. The vibe and verbiage are certainly right for it. Although the prologue and first three chapters are dense and somewhat awkward with backstory, by chapter 11 I was hooked. If you can get passed the beginning the rest of the book flows wonderfully. It bothers me a bit that Jack, even with the 5 year age difference, as a special ops undercover federal official, has no guilt or ethical qualms about having sex with a high school student. I think his character would be more sympathetic if he expressed some professional struggle with his feelings about Jessa during that high school period. I got hung up a bit on that in the beginning and struggled to get over it honestly. I sincerely hated Logan all the way around. From his toxic way of addressing the ladies in the beginning to his pushing Jessa near the end, I hope he ends up getting his own book where he gets all "tied up" figuratively speaking of course.
Even though I wouldn't classify this as a dark romance, I think this book would benefit from a trigger warning. Jessa's past rape is handled well in the book but Logan's hostile way of dealing with her, along with the bdsm elements should be noted in the synopsis. Overall, the initial flow issues aside, I loved the book, the action, the hot men and Jessa overcoming her past. I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out.

4.5 Stars
This is the first book in the Kill Code series by Sheri Landry
Basic premise: Jack thought Jessa died ten years ago. Now he is trying to find a group of hackers who were responsible for her death. It is then he finds that Jessa never died. In fact, she thought he was dead and had moved on with a family of his own (which was untrue). This group is lead by a horrific mad man who has his ties everywhere and seems unstoppable. Jessa has the key to his demise in her memory but she is blocking it all due to her earlier torture.
I thought this book was really great. It made you think and had you questioning everything at every turn. But I did think it was a bit to graphic in the horrific sense when they showed us the torture Jessa went through from Maxwell and then showed us it again when Logan was trying to “break” her. i thought that was unnecessary.
The point of view does jump around a bit and can be confusing at times but if you pay attention to the “voice” of the person, it should be easier to distinguish one from the other.
This is a relevant story and to my mind, a good one as well. Looking forward to seeing what other books in this series will look like. Definitely need some more Logan in my life.
If you enjoy a good mystery/thriller/romantic suspense, give this one a try, you won’t be disappointed!

What an incredible story! I'm going to look right away and see if this author has written any more books...but I'll write my review first. This is the story of a young woman (Jessa) who was supposedly killed with her family in an automobile accident. The undercover agent (Jack) for a security company loved her and mourned her loss until she unexpectedly shows up ten years later and seems to be working for the bad guys. What happened?! This is one dramatic event after another and there are some horrible, torturous scenes (reader be warned)! Revenge is too good for what has happened to her through the years. Will she be able to have an exit plan from the life she has been forced to live, that will still protect those she loves? I HIGHLY recommend this book

I absolutely loved this book from the beginning I was captivated. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a good read - it could be triggering for some though especially in some chapters but is executed well. Can’t wait to read the next one!

Two people who have very challenging past put together and find themselves more challenged. It’s a romance filled of darkness and discovery. Some plot can be predictable but overall great book

This book is very cleverly written. The main characters are reunited after 10 years. Jack was under cover when he met Jessa in high school and he thinks she died in a tragic accident. When they meet again they are both working on different sides of the law. The storyline is gripping and builds to a explosive unpredictable ending. I will definitely be looking out for the next installment.

Exit Plan is the first book in the Kill Code series by Sheri Landry. I thought this was a good start to the series. Sheri Landry is a new to me author and I enjoyed the story and it held my attention throughout the book. The point of view jumps around a lot which I don’t typically like but other than that I thought it was a good book. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Jack is a special forces operative posing as a college student, whose job is to help nail Matteo Sparr, the leader of one of the largest crime organizations on the West Coast.
When the operation goes wrong, 18-year-old Jessa, the girl Jack fell in love with, is involved in a car crash. Her body is never recovered, and a few years afterwards, she is declared dead.
10 years later, Jack's special forces team follows a lead in search of a hacker by the name of Zane, who works for Maxwell, Matteo's son.
When Jack and his team raid the remote farmhouse where the suspects are supposed to be hiding, never in his wildest dream does he imagine that the suspect they're about to seize will turn out to be Jessa, apparently alive and well.
The story interlaces Jack's and Jessa's first-person perspectives and hooks you pretty quickly.
It certainly was a thrilling read, but I'm really conflicted about it.
There was one big drawback. After the first couple of chapters, I lost my belief in the professionalism of the agents. I might not have much knowledge about how groups like that operate, but they all, including Jessa, seemed to me like a bunch of teenagers playing undercover agents and suspects. And once that sensation took hold, I couldn't shake it off. The gruesome torture and rape scene made it more real, but still, the way they all behaved and talked seemed, at the very least, unprofessional and implausible. And what was it with the men claiming that Jessa belonged to them? I can understand it in Maxwell's case; he was, after all, a disturbed psychopath, but what about Jack, who was supposed to be the good guy?? Instead, the first moment he's left alone with Jessa, after all those years, he says "you belong to me!" and has sex with her to prove his point?? What the hell??
And Jessa's response, to be honest, wasn't any better, only once did she challenge being objectified. Despite being portraited as a strong character, she too behaved like a teenager at times.
I was really battling with myself about the rating. I feel like the issues I had should lower the rating down to 2 stars, but because overall, it was an entertaining read that I quite enjoyed, I settle for 3 stars and I hope the sequel will prove to be better.

Unless you enjoy statutory rape, torture, controlling men, men who are Jerks, and cheesy dialog this book probably isn't for you. I absolutely hate giving reasons why I don't like books because just because I don't like something doesn't mean others won't as well.
And some people will probably love this book but not me. It is like cheesy action, erotica, and a YA novel mixed together. Just no.
As always I encourage people to read it for themselves to make their own judgment. This just so happened to be my take on it.

A disappointing book with a nonsense plot and a messy story. Changing first person POV and descriptions jumping around, as well as stilted language and unnatural dialogue. There is a story, but it's no joy reading it.

Jack and Jessa are on opposite sides of law and that doesn’t stop them from loving each other. Exit plan is an amalgamation of long lost love, romance, suspense and crime thriller and is an exciting one at that. It took a bit long for me to get into the story line, but once in, it is captivating at best. Stands true to its description..
“ Exit Plan is the first book in the gripping Kill Code thriller series. If you like strong female protagonists, page-turning twists, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, you’ll love Sheri Landry’s high-stakes adventure.”
Brilliant, unpredictable start to a series. Will look out for more books in this series and from Sheri Landry.
Thank you NetGalley, author and publisher for reader’s copy of this book. This review is my own and is not influenced in any way!
