I am so grateful to Dusty Sharp for his talent, knowledge, and willingness to tell a great story regardless of its political correctness.
The third book in the Austin Conrad trilogy brings everything to a thrilling and satisfying conclusion. From the incredibly detailed and historical locations to the deeply developed and realistic characters, there just wasn’t much more that anyone could expect or desire in a book. I freaking love it and I know that this author is going to continue to produce badass and edgy books and stories and I expect him to be more successful everyday. Bravo Dusty
Austin continues his battle with the Rattlers, his ex biker gang. He wants to break up Tillman’s trafficking ring. Action and drama. Shoot outs and capture escapes. Action to keep you entertained. This is the third in the series and it gets better with each novel.
The book starts out rather slow, but hold on because once it starts, it rolls into excitement that doesn’t stop. Austin is like a thorn in the side of his club. He quits which is unheard of in the biker club. Austin is now out for revenge and running for his life. Austin can’t trust anyone. The things he discovers surprises even him. A few members of the Rattlers and Satan’s Bastards, opposing clubs, have joined together for a cruel, but money making enterprise. Austin discovers the operation and is enraged. Follow the bloody trail and discover the surprises you never expected.
I want to say I loved this book, but if you read it you will realize that’s a really strange thing to say. I even feel a little weird saying that I enjoyed it because it is a violent, profanity-ridden, intense, dark, and any other descriptive term you can come up with to describe a book where even the “hero” is a very violent person. It is also a book that grabs you on the first page and doesn’t let go until the last. Since it is the 3rd book in the Conrad series I was very familiar with the situations Austin gets himself into and the “hands-on” way in which he gets himself out of them. I will warn you about one thing – if you are squeamish, you may want to skim through Austin’s “interaction” with Mar-vel. It is definitely not for the faint-of-heart!! But don’t miss out on this series; just don’t expect fairy tales or HEA. It’s not here. Still an awesome series!
The Austin character is great. The storyline is full of action and twists that ma s this a great read.
This book is a page turner wondering how Austin is going to get out of each jam he gets himself into. It has realistic characters and scenes. It is action packed, twisted and easy to read. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it. I received this book as an ARC and I am voluntarily reviewing this book.
Austin Conrad was a member of a motorcycle club until the leader crossed the line in what Austin would do. So now he is at war with the club. Lots of action, twists and turns and travel across state lines. If you enjoy books with all the above this is a must read.
As a killer, Austin tops them all and I love him for it. I was afraid I was reading the last book in the series until I realized we’re going to meet his cousin!!! I love that the author puts you inside Austin’s head. His ability to control a situation without emotion really draws the reader to him. Now Dusty has me waiting for the next book. Keep them coming and I’ll keep on reading!!!
In gang terms, once you are in, you are in. Therefore, the only way out is by Blood. When Austin Conrad had enough of the Rattler’s Motorcycle Gang after he found that the leader was smuggling illegal alien girls and women to be used as sex slaves, that was enough for him to quit. Trying to walk away was not acceptable and he soon found himself the target of his former friends. But Conrad did not go quietly into the night, turning the tables on who was the hunted and who was the hunter.
This is a fast action thriller with a heavy dose of fast cars and high powered motorcycles. The action was non stop and it was difficult to actually put down the book. This is the third in the series, but unfortunately, it was the first I had read. Now, I have to go back to the beginning to get the lowdown on this character named Austin Conrad and what exactly makes him tick. Can’t wait!!
I received a free copy of this book, but I wanted to leave this review to let people know what a ride it is!!
I loved this book. It was realistically gross in dealing with the “bad” people. The book managed to make motorcyclists lovable while keeping their level of mystery and danger high.
I have not yet (and probably never will) read a Dusty Sharp book that I did not enjoy.
First up — Thanks to Dusty Sharp for giving us a full length story this time. I do recommend reading the first two novellas (Blood Brothers and No Time to Bleed) to obtain background for parts of this story
Dusty Sharp’s third installment of Austin Conrad’s story is Blood Out a full-length, non-stop, fast action thriller and it was difficult to actually put down the book.
Austin isn’t an upstanding citizen but he does have a conscience – he’s the bad guy with feelings; unless you do him wrong. Then he becomes your worst enemy. Austin is the definition an anti-hero.
Austin’s dad helped found the Rattler’s Motorcycle Club and Austin joined after serving his country. The problem with the Rattlers is that once you are in, you are in for life.
When Austin found that the Rattlers’ leader was smuggling illegal alien girls and women to be used as sex slaves, that was enough for him to quit. Trying to walk away he found himself the target of his former friends. But Conrad was not going quietly. He was determined to break up the human trafficking ring and turn the tables on who was the hunted and who was the hunter.
I received an ARC from the author and this is my honest and voluntary 5-star review.
