I’m not 100% sure what I was expecting from this, but the premise intrigued me enough to buy it and give it a go.
It quickly gets going and becomes a thrilling adventure. There’s no hidden meaning in the words on this one, just action.

Well written, fast paced action with an interesting storyline. It is full of twists, turns and the (pleasantly) unexpected! Matthew is such an intriguing character and kept me gripped throughout. I was left wanting more but the ending is set up perfectly for a sequel - I look forward to learning more about Matthew’s past and what the future has in store!
An excellent read by a very talented new author - I highly recommend!

I read this book last week over two days. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The description of the scenes, areas, rooms, etc. was brilliant, I could see them in my mind. The in depth description of the characters brought them to life. I would recommend this book in a heartbeat. I look forward to Oliver's next book.
