REVIEW: THE MERCENARY'S DECEPTION by Angela R. Watts

 


Hey everyone! To say that I'm stoked to offer a review of The Mercenary's Deception by Angela R. Watts is an understatement.  I read this one so fast I'm pretty sure my poor eyes still haven't recovered. (Oops. Sorry not sorry.) So I have a review of it today, and there's also a giveaway you'll want to stick around for. But first, here's some info about the book as well as Watts.


BLURB

WHEN THE WAR IS LOST, THE INFIDELS MUST RISK EVERYTHING.

The fate of the United States rests on West Johnston’s shoulders. West and Brian, the ex-general of the Union, work together to take control of the Second Civil War that ripped the nation apart. But their betrayal is short lived when the Union gains control and West must kill his mafia lord father.

During a rescue operation, Rene’ Fisher and Gideon Hochberg are kidnapped by a previous member of Springtown. If Rene’ and Gideon can hold on, they can give vital information about the war that could end it all. But if their teammates don’t reach them in time, the war could be over.

If you love post-apocalyptic thrillers and want a fast-paced and gritty adventure, grab The Mercenary’s Deception and follow West and his team as they face their hardest trials yet. AMAZON | GOODREADS | SIGNED COPIES

MY REVIEW 
This book deserves to break the normal star-rating system, folks. I'm calling it. Watts blends incredibly hard topics with themes of redemption and grace.  Sci-fi is made believable, and worse, realistic. The characters' struggles are so clearly articulated that they practically leap off of the pages. Horrific circumstances pertaining to trafficking are also dealt with realistically but tactfully, which I also appreciated very much. I found myself invested in the story right away, and quite literally couldn't put it down. It hits the ground running and honestly, it keeps running long after you've finished the final pages. It gets you thinking, which is what I love in a book. 

This story will keep you awake at night...and if it does, it's a good thing.
