This was a pretty good read. Jack Reardon, former SAS soldier and current Australian Meta-State asset, has seen some messy battles. But “messy” takes on a whole new meaning when he finds himself tied to a chair in a torture shack, his cover blown wide open, all thanks to notorious killer-for-hire Ethan Blade. After Blade helps him get away he is home and a year late Blade comes back into his life along with all the trouble from before. This book had a lot of action in it. I really liked both of ...more

Where Death Meets the Devil was, in a way, two stories in one. Throughout the book, L.J. Hayward switches between two different timelines: Now (One Year after Jack & Ethan’s first interaction when they’re forced to work together again) and Then (Jack & Ethan’s first interaction, tells the beginning of their story). There were moments when the rotating timelines would become just slightly frustrating because you would want to know what’s happening in one of the timelines without having to wait for the following chapter, but overall I enjoyed receiving both stories at once instead of through two separate books. WDMTD kind of snuck up on me, because I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it but quickly found myself wrapped up in the story and unable to put the book down. Prior to reading this book, I thought Mystery/Assassin novels wouldn’t be for me but I’m happy to realize that’s far from true.

Oh my good god, what a ride that was! No time to give a lengthy review as need to get on with the next book! (That kind of sums up just how good this book was)

4 Stars
A high octane but twisted tale where you never know what is actually happening. I had a bit of a time getting into the story with the then/now story and the little I understood about what the hell was exactly going on. But, then bam...it started to click and I was hooked. Looking forward to what comes next for this surprisingly functional dysfunctional duo.
