I didn’t think it was possible for the Afton Morrison series to keep getting better, but once again, Brent Jones has outdone himself!
I also didn’t think I could love Afton Morrison any more than I already did, but she just keeps evolving and she is such an amazing character to follow. The Afton Morrison series themes itself around the question of whether we are born with evil in us or if it is a matter of choice, but it is really studied in Nice Try, Afton. As Afton struggles with her identity, she is faced with the question, is she really an evil, cold-blooded murderess? A vigilante? Through her struggles she is becoming even more badass, and I cannot wait to find out the conclusion of her story.
I love the tension in Nice Try, Afton. It was the kind of ‘on your seat’ thrill I live for. Every book has had this so far, but Brent Jones has managed to up the ante even more. From beginning to end, there is action. I especially love the scenes in the last half of the book. I could not put this one down, I had to know what was happening.
Twists and turns, questions of morality, a badass female lead, and a story that just keeps getting better as we progress through the series, I can’t stress enough how much I recomend Nice Try, Afton. This is NOT a series you want to miss!
Nice Try, Afton was another great read by Brent Jones. This is book three of the Afton Morrison series. This is a great series that is full of action and this book definitely doesn’t’t disappoint. Afton is looking to make a truce with the one person she never thought she would in order to keep everyone safe. I can’t wait to read more by Brent Jones.
This is Book 3 of 4 that features Afton Morrison. She’s a female psychopathic vegetarian librarian who has a thirst for violence and craves the thought of taking a human life. She also has a pet goldfish.
The small town of Wakefield is besieged by a multitude of arson fires. Afton and her friends know who is responsible and Afton fears for her friends lives.
She’s been trying to ditch her dark side, but she may have to embrace that dark side one more time if she wants to survive.
This is fast-paced, action packed, and full of surprises. Less than 200 pages, it’s a fast read.. one you won’t want to put down. Suspense builds from the first page and just doesn’t let up.
I highly recommend reading this series in order. These characters are fully defined and deserve to be put front and center.
Is evil a matter of choice, or are we born that way? And does evil seem to run in families, no matter how they are raised?
Many thanks to the author for the digital copy of this fascinating series. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
Oh my stars, Afton!! I’m still buzzing after reading this third book in the series!! This one was the most anxiety provoking, nail biting, I didn’t know if my kindle and I were going to get through it!!
Is evil a matter of choice, or are we born that way?
This is basically the thought process for the entire Afton Morrison series. But mostly we see it in this book. So much happens…holy smokes, so many revelations, so much develops and then so much doesn’t get resolved. Know what I mean? Afton is starting to learn more about herself, her feelings, why she’s the way she is. She goes through so much. I feel so bad for Afton. She really hasn’t had it easy and she only seems to know how to rely on herself and Animus (again, herself). She doesn’t even seem to be able to lean on her brother, Chris. He wants to protect her. But she doesn’t want that.
“You’re so far out of your depth, it’s not even funny. You’re out making deals with killers, and I can’t even get you to eat a steak.”
As for Jared, that boy does seem to know Afton. He appears to be very good at how to handle her.
Once again I’m not at all let down by this series. It only gets better and better. I can’t wait to get into book four and find out how Afton gets out of this next jam she’s in!! I’m rooting for you Afton!!!
In this book, Afton has a ton of internal struggles with being who she is and wanting to kill people… even if they deserve it. Afton’s friends become even more involved her antics and some of them get hurt in the process. People are dying, the Man in Shadows is playing games. And it’s so good.
My favorite part of this book is internal struggle Afton has with wanting to kill. Trying not to spoil anything but once she embraces who she is, things get very interesting. Let’s just say she turns on the badass and it’s so cool to see.
And the ENDING… ugh the ending is so good. It’s what I’ve been wanting for 3 books. Definitely looking forward to book 4 to see how she takes care of the her nemesis.
