REVIEW
Covert Kill by Jason Kasper
Shadow Strike #3
Action-packed thrill-ride from beginning to end ~ Could not put it down! Great addition to an amazing series!
What I liked”
* David Rivers “Suicide”: team leader, husband, father, ex-military, intelligent, team player, able to think on the fly, lethal, intriguing, works for the government but in a special capacity with an intriguing team of talented men
* Cancer: sniper, seasoned warrior, pragmatic, lethal, has premonitions, capable, deep, feel there is more to him than we have seen so far
* Angel: intelligence officer, puzzle solver, able to see the big picture, analyst, sees patterns, brilliant, militarily trained, lethal
* Doc and Racegun: two men that are a bit more elusive for me to pin down but equally interesting. One is a medic and the other sets the pace and leads on the ground – want to learn more about both of them
* Feeling that the men are a team but individuals with more to them than what we see when they are together on operations
* Getting to see new-to-me places in the world that I have never been and probably will never go
* Seeing these new places from the eyes of a team with a military task and experiencing it with them
* Getting a feel for the nitty gritty boots on the ground job that men like this team might experience when deployed
* Listening to the way the various members on the team felt
* Tolu: Nigerian, driver, entrepreneur, rap lover, hates Boku Haram for his own reasons
* Knowing who the bad guys were and seeing some of them dealt with
* The look at the fine line between the good and bad guys and how easy it would be to go either direction in life
* Knowing that there are men out there in real life willing to do the jobs this team does in this series
* The way the story is progressing and knowing that there is another book to look forward to
* That the “good guys”won – at least this time
What I didn’t like: * Knowing that there are terrorist groups around the world kidnapping and killing and doing equally horrible things on a daily basis
* Knowing that there are corrupt politicians everywhere in the world
* Everything and everyone I was meant not to like
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely
Thank you to NetGalley and Severn River Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.

FROM FORMER GREEN BERET AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JASON KASPER
"Jason Kasper is a name to watch in the thriller world." —Mark Greaney, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of the Gray Man Series
When American citizens in Nigeria are kidnapped and held for ransom, David Rivers and his team of CIA contractors find themselves enveloped in an international firestorm. With a US administration determined to protect American lives, David has the authority to do whatever it takes.
But as David’s team tracks down the mysterious terror cell responsible for the kidnapping, they uncover a conspiracy beyond anything they could have imagined.
And in a race against time to recover the hostages, David and his team must infiltrate the Sambisa Forest, a sprawling Boko Haram stronghold overflowing with enemy soldiers.
Failure is not an option.
Survival is not guaranteed.
