Book Synopsis:
Your family has been attacked. Now you have to choose between law… and justice.
Jason Bennett is a suburban dad whose life takes a horrific turn. He is driving his family home when a pickup truck begins tailgating them. Suddenly two men jump from the pickup and pull guns on Jason, demanding the car. A horrific flash of violence changes his life forever.
Later that awful night, Jason and his family receive a visit from the FBI. The agents tell them that the carjackers were members of a dangerous drug-trafficking organization ― and now Jason and his family are in their crosshairs.
The agents advise the Bennetts to enter the witness protection program. But WITSEC was not designed to protect law-abiding families. Trapped in an unfamiliar life, the Bennetts begin to fall apart at the seams. Then Jason learns a shocking truth and realizes that he has to take matters into his own hands.
Sometimes justice is a one-man show.
My Review:
What Happened To The Bennetts is a fast paced, gripping thriller which I raced through in a few days. It’s going to be a hard book to review as I don’t want to give anything away.
The book opens very explosively with some truly gripping but shocking scenes that took me by surprise and the tension never really let up as the book continues making it very hard to put down. The Bennett family were all such realistic characters and it was very emotional to see the happy, successful family changed by events. It was very poignant to see all they were going through and I felt they were so vividly described that I felt like I was experiencing everything alongside the characters.
Jason was my favourite character and I loved how he went from a normal guy to fighting for his family. I found it very intriguing to following him on his mission to find out what has is going on and why someone has it in for his family. Some of his actions were perhaps a little unrealistic but I found I didn’t care as I was still routing for him to succeed and get the answers he desperately needed.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be reading more from this author in the future. It is an incredibly fast paced book and the tension gradually increases as the story progresses making it very hard to put down. There were lots of twists that kept me guessing and a few scenes that had me holding my breath as I watched the action unfold. The ending was brilliant and while it was a little bit more violent than I was expecting I was happy to see how everything worked out.
Huge thanks to Anne from Random Things Tours for inviting me onto the blog tour and to No Exit Press for my copy of this book. If you are a fan of fast paced, gripping thrillers than I highly recommend this book.
