Isolated (Jason King, #1)

by Matt Rogers

[chymerra]

This book read just like an action movie and I swear that is what part of the appeal of it. It starts off so nice and calm, with Jason King just walking away from a bar and sitting under a tree. Then, BAM, people are getting killed left and right.

I loved it.

This book is action packed and at one point in the book, I started asking myself, does Jason King have superhero powers? He went through stuff that would kill normal people (being ejected through a car’s windshield stands out in my mind the most). Nope, he is an ex-U.S. Black Ops (Delta Force) and he is a killing machine that seems like he can take almost anything.

The storyline was a bit vague in the beginning but after a bit of detective work and a beating of a local biker gang, he finally starts off on his quest and the storyline even out. It seems that there is something going on in Jameson, it isn’t good and Jason King is determined to get to the bottom of it. And oh boy, did he.

Like I said above, Jason King was a killing machine. Put it this way, at one point in the book, he took on 10 men at once and killed them all….by himself.

The ending of the book was what I expected but it was kinda sad. All of the storyline were wrapped up and there was a couple of twists in it that I didn’t see coming. Also, while the storylines from this book was wrapped up nice, Jason King’s was not and the author left it so that there could be a second book.
