Book Description:
Bounty hunter Dan Reno never thought he’d be the prey. When a pair of accused rapists from a New Jersey-based gang surface in South Lake Tahoe, bounty hunter Dan Reno is called in. The first is easy to catch, but the second, a Satanist suspected of a string of murders, is an adversary unlike any Reno has faced before. After escaping Reno’s clutches, in the desert outside of Carson City, the target vanishes. That is, until he makes it clear he intends to settle the score.
To make matters worse, the criminal takes an interest in a teenage boy and his talented sister, both friends of Reno’s.
Wading through a drug-dealing turf war and a deadly feud between mobsters running a local casino, Reno has to hunt a ghost-like adversary who is calling all the shots.

Wading through a drug-dealing turf war and a deadly feud between mobsters running a local casino, Reno has to hunt a ghost-like adversary who is calling all the shots.
The more Reno learns more about his target, the more he’s convinced that mayhem is inevitable unless he can capture him quickly. He’d prefer it to be clean, without further bloodshed. But sometimes that isn’t possible, especially when Reno’s partner Cody Gibbons decides it’s time for payback.

My Review

I felt a little lost in translation with this book. Don’t get me wrong it was amazing and had a bit of everything that I want in a book. My lost feeling is more because I haven’t read another of the books so I feel I am missing some important information.

Dan Reno is a character that I really enjoyed reading about as they were solid and from what I gathered there is more to him than meets the eye.

The concept was solid and I really enjoyed the bounty hunter angle which was what I used to try and write when I was younger. The book struck that chord brilliantly and I think the character made it even better.

Can’t wait to have the time to go back and read it from the beginning of the series.
