I have a second chance to right wrongs, even if it means I’ll lose my family and life.
Sid Virgil
FBI analyst Dalton Reed’s name is on my hit list, but I know I won’t do it. Though I haven’t seen Dalton in twenty-seven years, we have a history together. He saved my life many years ago, and he doesn’t even realize it. Now, it’s my turn to save him and his young son. Saving Dalton puts my life at risk with my assassin family, but I owe it to him, and I owe it to myself.
Dalton Reed
Sid, goddamn, Virgil. I haven’t seen him in twenty-seven years, and I now find him standing between me and my escape. He insists he wants to help me, but I know he was sent to kill me. I don’t trust him. He was a bastard to me growing up as a teen, and I’m sure he’s a bastard now. He’s a killer. But I’m being hunted, and I have no choice but to let Sid help. My son is all that matters.
Can these two men see beyond their past to save Dalton before it’s too late? Can Sid’s family forgive him for his betrayal?
REVIEW:
I have really enjoyed this series this far. All of the characters have been unique, and the partners brought into the fold have each had their own challenges to overcome. Sid is no different. He’s one of the founding members of The District, and they have become his family.
When one of their contracts is someone from his past, he decides he has to get ahead of the other killers and make things right with Dalton. When that happens, he learns why Dalton is being hunted and is more determined than ever to save him amd his young son.
This one took a while for me to get into. But once we start to really get into the details of Sid’s past and the reasons for his behavior with Dalton, as well as the full extent of what Dalton is up against, it gets a bit more interesting.
I also admit that I had trouble understanding why Sid didn’t come clean with Mal and the others sooner. However, I liked seeing Easton coming into the picture and was really happy with how things played out with Mal and the rest of the gang. It was nice to see them all again, even psycho Sully and sweet Luca.
Looks like Easton is up next, and knowing a bit about his issues, I’m really looking forward to seeing how his story plays out.
