The Team of Taylor Jones & Regan Murphy Reviews Black Ops Chronicles: Dead Run<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBlack Ops Chronicles: Dead Run<\/em> by Pepper O\u2019Neal wasn\u2019t quite what I expected. Not that I was disappointed because I wasn\u2019t. But while it has a paranormal angle, in that the heroine has prophetic dreams, it doesn\u2019t have shifters or vampires. What it does have is lots of action, adventure, and suspense. And two\u2014count them, two\u2014gorgeous hunks! Honestly, I had a great deal of trouble deciding which one I liked best. But that\u2019s the best kind of trouble to have…As always, O\u2019Neal\u2019s characters are so well developed and feel so real, it\u2019s hard to believe it\u2019s fiction, and the dialogue makes you feel like you\u2019re right there in the scene with them. The stuff about the CIA and the Mormons also had a ring of truth that tells me O\u2019Neal did her homework. Black Ops Chronicles: Dead Run is one you\u2019ll want to read again and again.\u201d ~ Taylor Jones<\/p>\n

\u201cThe story had some interesting twists, complicated by the fact that the main hero Max had a head injury at the start of the book and so, for the first 24 hours, he had amnesia. I thought that part was very well done. O\u2019Neal gave some good rationale for the amnesia, other than just the injury, like the fact that Max\u2019s partner had been killed in the ambush where Max was injured, so Max didn\u2019t want to remember, giving some added dimension to it. I liked the relationships between the characters, and I adored Levi, the secondary hero. He was really cool. I see on O\u2019Neal\u2019s website that this will be a series, so I am really hoping that the next book is about him. The characters were very well done, the action extremely fast paced. Throw in a few terrorists, the CIA, and organized crime, and I was riveted from the very first paragraph. I kept waiting for a good place to stop, but there just wasn\u2019t one, so I ended up reading until 3 a.m. My kind of book!\u201d ~ Regan Murphy<\/p>\n
