The Consultant
is riddled with twists, turns, and edge of your seat suspense that you will find yourself struggling to put the book down!
Disclosure: I received this book to review through iREAD BOOK TOURS, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.
When a rogue CIA consultant goes AWOL from his Middle Eastern post in response to his brother’s plea for help, he arrives just in time to witness his brother’s murder. For years, Jonathan Hunter and his brother Kevin Mallory had not spoken―until Kevin’s final words, “… Khalifah … Not Them … Maya.”
Pursuing his brother’s killer, Hunter stumbles into a nest of horrifying terrorist activity by Middle Eastern refugees, which sparks a backlash across America. In the shadows, Hunter’s mentor, the omnipotent Oscar LaRue, is playing a dangerous game with Russian Intelligence. Neither Hunter nor LaRue realizes that a new threat―the Iranian threat―has entered the game. Stakes rise as two shadowy players are one step ahead of Hunter and LaRue―Khalifah, a terrorist mastermind, and Caine, a nomadic assassin who dances with the highest bidder.
As attacks escalate and the country drifts toward another Middle East conflict, innocent refugees become trapped between the terrorists and the terrorized. Prejudice, hate, and fear vent everywhere. Is this who we’ve become? Before the country explodes, Hunter must find Khalifah, learn the next terror target, and pray he’s in time to stop further annihilation.

This was an amazing, twisted, plot thickening, edge of your seat, suspenseful read! Wow.
There was a lot of action and a lot of characters, but it wasn’t until half way through that I started trying to put things together. And let me tell you – in the end, I was a sliver right. Seriously. A sliver. Everything else blew me out of the water.
The book has bread crumbs from beginning to end that kept me engrossed. I hated putting the book down at night. I wanted to know the ins, the outs, the whos, the whats, the wheres. There were so many characters involved, to keep track of, that your mind started to play tricks on you and you developed theories and ideas.
This was by far one of the top suspense reads I have read in awhile. I highly recommend if you enjoy suspenseful reads.
