Book Review of The American (aka Heart of Betrayal) (Ryan Kealey, Bk 1)

The American (aka Heart of Betrayal) (Ryan Kealey, Bk 1)
reviewed on


The book required some patience for me while a considerable amount of setup took place. I struggled with a couple of the secondary characters as they did not seem authentic. There were some abrupt point-of-view shifts that I found jarring. The last quarter of the book was worth the effort when the race against the clock action ran full bore. There were many well-executed twists and turns, most featuring a lot of body count. The double-bump conclusion was predictable yet satisfying. On balance, an enjoyable read but not the best out there.
