My Review
5 stars
Grace Dobbs is a champion at the local gun club. But when a heist goes wrong, Grace is there to save the day. This makes her quite famous, internationally. She is then contacted by someone that is very interested in meeting her. Grace travels to Britain and starts learning about her heritage. It seems that someone things they can use her to get ahead and Grace just wants to go back to her old life.
Grace lives in seclusion in her neighborhood in Australia until her act of heroism launches her into the media. She has no idea who wants her but she is willing to see if they may have some information about her past. I love Grace. She is independent and a strong woman yet she has a nativity to her that makes it easy to fall for what some people tell her.
This is one bloody thrill ride. You have knives and guns and a group of nasty people that want to get ahead by the most violent path they can follow. If that is not enough, the book’s plot is all over the place but it is written so you won’t be confused or lost. This is a great story and one I am happy to add to my shelves.
I received In The Blood from Bloodhound Books for free. This has in no way influenced my opinion of this book.
