Helpful Score: 1
Up All Night Fiction was a pretty good description for what I wanted to do several points in the novel Downfall. Over the last three nights I was glued to the pages of this latest suspense and more than once didnt want to go to bed, but to only keep reading for onemorechapter. (They are short, honestly!)
After following the characters of Emily, Lance, Barbara and Kent for three books, youve come to know them and how they think and act in a scene. Ive really enjoyed seeing Emily progress from the drug addict she was (and still struggles to fight) to the woman she is submitting herself to be. You wouldnt have to read the first two to understand this last book, you will appreciate it more if you have.
Tension is a good word for some of the scenes in the novel. Surrounding several murders and moments with The Avenger, it pretty much kept me wanting to turn the pages and figure out what was going on.
I will admit Barbara kind of rubs my nerves the wrong way. Oh not all the time and I can understand her vulnerability when it comes to her daughters drug problem. She was just a bit too hysterical at times for my taste.
Really from beginning to end, the novel is a solid suspense. I pretty much figured out the villain, but that doesnt stop me from enjoying the rest of the story. Its a fast read, intense, but satisfying.
This review is my honest opinion. My thanks to the authors PR manager for my copy to review.

A thriller with purpose. This is a great conclusion to the Intervention series focusing on the same characters. Read them in order for best understanding and effect.
