ON Fire (An Ozzie Novak Thriller, Book 5) by John W. Mefford {Book Review}

Disclosure: I received an ebook copy of this book and have volunteered to share my review. All opinions are 100% my own.

NEW RELEASE….

Rainmakers rule – but nothing influences another man more than two bullets in the back of the head. A beautiful, ambitious woman is murdered. No one would have noticed if the person charged was anyone other than a lobbyist — one of the most powerful deal-makers in the world.

Ozzie is pulled into to help prove the egomaniac’s innocence. Early on, the evidence seems irrefutable…until it isn’t. Could who this man knows determine who lives and who dies?

Ozzie uncovers damaging information. His immediate reaction? Rage. The lobbyist had played a key role in helping destroy Ozzie’s old life. So how can Ozzie now help the man avoid a murder charge?

Forced to make a deal with the devil, Ozzie must determine how to out think the king of rainmakers. And that’s when Ozzie realizes this isn’t just a one-lane game.

Ozzie flexes his own power of persuasion to fight through the haze of threats and outright danger. With everything on line, Ozzie’s instincts take him to the brink of death.

In the end, innocent people will die. Can Ozzie save his family from something he can’t see?

The Scoop

By now you’re probably aware that the Alex Troutt thrillers, Ivy Nash thrillers, and the soon-to-be-released Ozzie Novak thrillers are all under the same Redemption Thriller Series umbrella. Why? Because, ultimately, they all connect — Alex, Ivy, Ozzie. How? That’s part of the mystery that I’m slowly unveiling throughout the Redemption Thriller Series.Through each sub-series, characters from different books appear in the other novels. If it adds suspense, intrigue, or even a good laugh, I’ve included a cross-over character — it’s a lot more fun that way. Plus — and here’s the real kicker — I’ll write a final six novels that brings all of the major characters together — Alex, Ivy, Ozzie. It will be explosive and gut-wrenching…in a way that will leave you breathless. At least that’s my hope.

Starting with IN The End (Nov. 10 release), I’ll be launching a new book every 2-4 weeks. IN The End will segue into the Ozzie Novak Thrillers. ON Edge (book 1), is due out on November 28. From there, it will be non-stop suspense until all six Ozzie books are released. And my editor tells me that Ozzie Novak is my best character yet.:) So, I hope you’re ready for some thrilling binge-reading.

I am trying to word everything so I don’t give everything away.

I did forget a certain aspect at the end of the last book that started this book, but I still had hope and that hope definitely gave me more than one suspect in this book.

I had the suspect in this book figured out immediately, but I wasn’t 100% confident so of course, I had to keep reading.

The book sucked me in – as it always does – and provided me several other suspects that definitely made me doubt my thoughts.

Like so many other John Mefford books, there was more than one issue needing to be solved and we still have one left unsolved that really links book 1 with this one. (Make note though, you do not have to had read book 1 to understand anything in this book. Each installment can be read as a stand alone and John does a wonderful job giving enough detail so you never feel lost.)

I look forward to seeing what the next book holds for Ozzie and am very curious how his relationship continues to go as I have serious doubts about his wife.

Mefford does an amazing job keeping you involved and on the edge of your seat trying to figure out the mystery with him. Almost makes me want to do private investigating – just minus all the danger and pain Ozzie goes through!
