John Davis first Granger novel is an easy and unputdownable read; I devoured it. It starts with a bang and moves along at an electric pace. The plot twists and turns, there is plenty of intrigue and, whilst you know that in the end the family will prevail, the ending is not predictable. The development of the characters is sufficient to seduce me into the series; I can't wait to see what havoc they wreak and i want to see how Leecy progresses in her new career. Thank you.

Trilling book, that has some unexpected twists, but ends as one would expect. The story line is generally acceptable, and it is not a big leap to see the book being transformed into a popular Hollywood blockbuster.

Well yet more kickass women in this book one of whom is seriously scary. I wonder just how much truth about the Mossad there is in what we are told in the book? Looking up the author he doesn’t say anything about having worked for any intelligence agency but I am sure that the details are available for research. What is interesting is that he admits to having an American Indian in the family just as his father in the family around which the book is written, has. So some of the details would be truthful - or roughly truthful here. He says that the characters in the book are inspired by his dysfunctional family which is not easy to read if you are related to him!
This book is basically a story of agents whose background is in assassination and who then marry and have a daughter with not only high intelligence but who has also inherited their physical skills. Which are many and varied including being a sniper as well as a knife thrower extraordinaire.
I did enjoy the book and will look forward to reading more in the series.

I received this digital copy from Net Galley and am reviewing an honest opinion I'll admit, I'm not much of a spy/espionage genre reader, but this book was action packed from page 1, until the end at the epilogue!!
It starts off with the Grangers, Ron, Valerie & their 16 year old daughter Leecy having unexpected visitors in their home in the wee hours of the morning. The mom & dad take care of these unwanted "guests" & then must speak to the local police about the incident in the home Meanwhile, Leecy is baffled & has no idea what her mom & dad really do. As the book progresses, Leecy is told about their backgrounds. Her dad spoke first & her mother filled her in on her side. This is a family with a deep rooted spy background going back as far as "Granny Granny" on Leecy's mom's side with a background in helping free Jewish prisoners in Frankfurt back in 1943!! Leecy is learning this background as they're currently fleeing their home to get away from whoever it is that wants the Granger's. They're not quite sure yet as to who wants them or why but now, at 16, Leecy is finding out her heritage. No more secrets If you love spy stories & action/adventure, this is the book for you. It has all of that plus mystery & suspense. I'm still not very fond of spy stories myself, but reading this made me enjoy the genre a bit more. It also had a nice bit of "fictional history" of WW2 & saving Jewish people from going to Aushwitz. I say fictional, because this is a work of fiction, but these types of groups existed that did help save Jewish people from Nazi's but the story told here was fiction I'd highly recommend this book to spy story lovers, but also good if you're not really into spy since it's very fast paced & action/adventure filled. The main characters of Ron & Valerie seem to be a bit "super human" at times but it made for a good story

What a fast paced thriller!! Didn't feel like a 200+ pages that turned very fast. Very interesting and entertaining plot, I don't know how much I know of my wife's past, but after reading this I'd better don't mess with her :-)

Very nice thriller, no boring parts, great characters, great action,
some details a little bit hard to believe but it is a novel !!!

Good Read.

Great read.

I very much liked the concept of the family that spies together. Overall, the pace was blazing, the action intense and the story rewarding. The almost super-powered abilities of the protagonists did take away some of the urgency normally found in the dangerous situation in this genre of action thriller, but still a fun experience overall.

This reader would humbly request a little more break in the action with a bit more character development to give us a chance to care a bit more about our heroes and maybe some more mature scenes with the married couple, nothing too explicit just enough to give us a better understanding of the depth of their relationship and a little more reason to root for them.

I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

Along with SF, Murder, Mystery and Espionage are my favourite book genres. This story is one of the best. I love the family set up, great touch and the structure of the book is gripping. I could really identify with the characters and the descriptive writing painted pictures all the way through. Great conclusion with hope for further stories! Excellent read.

I really liked the flow of this book and good read. I look forward to the next book about the Granger family.

Bloodline, is a fast paced and action packed book from the beginning all the way to the end. It has intrigue, murder, mystery in who is the mole trying to kill Ron Granger, and his family. He has retired from the CIA, and both he and his wife Valerie have secrets that their daughter Leecy, does not know about. Ron must get in touch with his old handler from the CIA. Meanwhile they all need to be gone until they can figure out the, who, and why? This makes the story more appealing because as they are on the run they are explaining the back ground of the mother, later you get to find out about the father and together they make a killer team. The daughter just seems to be soaking this in not really panicking. Like I said this was fast paced and difficult to figure out at first but then when they start putting everything together it makes the story work. A very good book, with good characters and a good storyline.
