This is Book 4 in a 4-book series featuring Afton Morrison. To introduce this unique character, the reader was told 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.
A lot has happened to Afton in the following books. She’s tried so hard to overcome her thirst for killing and to follow her mother’ s last wishes of doing good in her life. But, as usual, there are things that she just cannot control.
This time around she’s been connected to several deaths, but that’s not the worst of her problems. A gang has infiltrated her town, selling impure drugs that are killing the kids taking these street drugs.
Afton is offended at the thought of teenagers dying needlessly and she promises to take on the gang members .. one at a time .. until they no longer exist. That’s her doing good.
This has been a terrific series …. an extremely unique character struggling to overcome her thirst for killing, and leading a normal life ..whatever normal is. It’s an action packed, page turning adventure for Afton, her family, her friends, the voice in her head. Many twists and turns along the way lead to an unpredictable, yet satisfying ending.
As always, I highly recommend starting at the beginning … you won’t be sorry!
Many thanks to the author for the digital copy of this crime thriller. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
As this series came to a close, the bittersweet feeling of how do I say goodbye to Afton, came over me. I loved this series since it’s beginning , with Go Home, Afton. I could sit here and go through the entire series with you, but that will have to wait until another review….YES, I said another review! The series has ended, but Brent has released The complete Afton Morrison Series as a whole (instead of in parts). It is available through Amazon as of Monday, October 29th in Kindle format, Paperback and HOLYCOW…Audible!!!!! I want it all…EVERYTHING!!!!
So, of course I will be doing a review on the completed set. Also, eventually on Audible.
Anyway….on to Time’s Up, Afton! Afton has gained so much as far as family and friends, people truly care about her. But now so much has been taken away. After the fiery assault on Wakefield, now a low-life gang has infiltrated the town and is dealing bad drugs to teenagers, that are killing them. Afton has reached her limit and she is allowing that inner killer to come out and become that antihero we all knew she was. I found it sad. I didn’t want to see Afton have to let that killer out, but she did. It was a part of her and eventually it was going to happen anyway. Using it to save Wakefield and those she cared about was at least the best way she could do it. I found myself disappointed at times, but understood things had to end up like they did.
The epilogue almost sent me over the edge. Oh Afton!!
5++ FIERY STARS!!! I highly, highly recommend this series!! Which you can now read, either by each part separately (books 1-4 kindle only) or as of October 29th the Complete Set as ONE (Kindle, Paperback, Audible). Whatever your preference!!! But I will say this, Brent Jones is an Amazing writer!!! His thought process is incredible!! Characters are SO INCREDIBLY WELL WRITTEN!!! His world building is WELL WRITTEN, EASY TO PICTURE AND FOLLOW!!! His books are edited BEAUTIFULLY, and I was reading the ARCs!!! He must have an AMAZING editor!!! So if you’re questioning the Author, DON’T!!! YOU WON’T BE SORRY!!! As for the story…it is a THRILLER…basically a PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER with an antihero, who talks to her Animus (which is the archetype of self, of the unconscious mind). Very intriguing, RIGHT? Yes, I thought so!! If this sounds right up your alley then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!! Again 5++ FIERY STARS!!!
