This is the first Nathan McBride story I have read but it won't be the last. The story offers plenty of fast pace action. There are terrorist attacks in San Diego and DC about the same time. Nobody knows who is behind it. Nathan & Harv are drawn in because this attack is personal for them. They will do anything they can to help find who is behind these attacks and what is next.
The border patrol are having their problems too. El Lobo is causing them lots of trouble with some deaths and injuries to people on our side. Can this all come together to find out how to stop it all? The book will keep you engaged in the story from front to back.

"Hired to Kill" eBook was published in 2018 and was written by Andrew Peterson (https://www.andrewpeterson.com). Mr. Peterson has published seven novels with this being the seventh in his "Nathan McBride" series. 

I categorize this novel as ‘R’ because it contains scenes of Violence. The story is set in the contemporary US. The primary character is former US Marine sniper Nathan McBride. McBride has also served with as a CIA operative and is currently a private contractor. 

Deadly, but widely separated attacks against family and others close to McBride draw him into investigating the threat of a new terrorist attack against the US. ISIS operatives have obtained bioweapons developed in North Korea and are now plotting to release them in major US cities. It becomes a race to see if McBride and US forces can intercept the terrorists before the deadly weapon can be released.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 8+ hours I spent reading this 377 page thriller. While I have not read any of the prior novels in the series, this one read well as a stand-alone book. I liked the character of McBride and the plot stayed within the realm of believability that so many thrillers exceed. The cover art is OK, but I think better art could have been chosen. I give this novel a 5 out of 5.

I'm in love with the Nathan McBride series. Andrew Peterson does a fantastic job of having you hang on the end of your seat with this action-packed read. As a fan of the Nathan McBride, series I was excited to get my hands on this book which is the latest in the series. McBride never disappoints and that is true of this latest read. Bursting with action, internal struggles and a brotherhood between friends, this read was superior to the very last drop. Many things come together in the end to illuminate a masterpiece of action-packed awesomeness! Can't wait to see what happens in the next installment in the Nathan McBride series.

I received an advanced review copy (ARC) of this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A brilliantly spellbinding read. A heroic thriller filled with action. The internal struggle to do good that Nathan experiences is spine tingling. The brotherhood and friendship between him and Harv is strong and forged in fire and blood. This is a page turner that will keep you engrossed to the end.

A great thriller with fast-paced action in scenes we could see happening today! Nathan McBride returns facing some devastating moments as one rogue team attacks his friend's family at a m
all, while his father, sister and niece are attacked in a small diner! These actions have devastating consequences, as the intelligence community also learn of weapons of mass destruction are in the hands of ISIS, ready to be used on America!
The story has several areas that all come together, as Nathan and Vince Beaumont,( head of private military service), learn that their families were attacked as revenge.for a kill done years before. This author has a wonderful way of keeping the action going on all sides, while showing the relationships between family and those in the fight together.
This is definitely easy to read as a stand alone book, but once you read about Nathan McBride I believe you will be hurrying to read the others!!

4.5 I had been missing my Nathan, Good to have him and Harv back. Fast paced, action, action, action. There are some moments of down time to catch your breath but they are few and far between. The scary part is some of the scenarios could really take place, and I sure hope we have our own Nathan and Harv to handle them. It definitely makes you stop and think. I had a moment of "NO NATHAN, DONT DO IT" (no spoilers), Thank you Andrew Peterson for tanking me outside my comfort zone and entertaining me! I am already for book 8 :) You can read it as a stand a lone, but I would highly recommend you read all books 1-7. Watch Nathan evolve.
Thank you Thomas and Mercer! Thank you NetGalley

It's been a year since the last Nathan McBride book, but was so worth the wait! It made for a lazy, have to read ALL day, yes it's that great! Several threads all come together in the end and I really enjoyed the mystery of the story. The action is outstanding! Five stars, as always.
