Out to Get Me by Jeffrey A. Cooper is a thrilling rollercoaster ride from start to finish. Cooper has masterfully crafted a suspenseful narrative that will grab your attention from the very first page and refuse to let go until the final, shocking twist.

The story revolves around Emily, a young journalist who discovers a series of sinister events unfolding around her.

The author's ability to create a sense of impending danger and paranoia is remarkable, as readers are constantly left guessing who is friend or foe.

The descriptive language is vivid, allowing the audience to vividly picture the settings and experience the fear and tension alongside the characters. Furthermore, the author weaves multiple plotlines seamlessly together, making the story even more riveting.

One aspect that sets Out to Get Me apart from other thrillers is the depth of character development. Emily is a strong, intelligent protagonist who faces her challenges head-on. Her emotions and fears are portrayed realistically, making her relatable and rooting for her survival. Supporting characters are also well-developed, adding layers of complexity to the overall story.

The plot twists in this book are nothing short of mind-blowing. Just when you think you have it all figured out, Cooper throws in unexpected turns that will leave your jaw dropping. Every revelation adds a new layer to the overall mystery, keeping the reader guessing until the very end.

The pacing of the novel is perfect, ensuring there's never a dull moment. Cooper balances action-packed scenes with moments of intense suspense, giving readers a chance to catch their breath while still maintaining a relentless and addictive pace.

Although a bit bit of slow burner, it is well worth sticking with this book. Beautifully written and truly a masterpiece.

Thank you to NetGalley and Jeffrey A. Cooper for the opportunity to review this E-ARC. This book starts out so promising. Heart pounding, literally freeway speeds where the MC is being chased by someone in a black Jeep while she unknowingly drives with five million dollars in the back of her car. Her husband ripped off the wrong person after experiencing financial troubles during the pandemic and thought robbery was the solution and now innocent people are dying.
However, this book mentions the pandemic lockdowns a lot, which for a lot of people, including me, isn't a time I really like to dwell on, so that was a bit of a turn off.
The book continues to get more and more generic as time goes on, despite the knockout beginning.
I finished it, and some people may love, but it wasn't for me.

This story starts at 60mph and doesn't let up. Nobody can trust anybody and nobody is safe in this twisty, relentless thriller - an enjoyable easy read.

A solid effort. It was non-stop action and very entertaining.
The characters were interesting, but most of them weren't very likable, including Toni at times. I did like how complex she was though.

Overall it was an enjoyable read, and I would read more from this author, especially if he writes more about Vera Cruise, who with Toni were the most intriguing characters.
3/5

In a world filled with gripping thrillers and intricate storylines, this book unfortunately fell short for me. The premise had the potential to offer an adrenaline-pumping ride through pandemic-era Los Angeles, but the execution was more reminiscent of a predictable script from a generic crime show.

The characters, despite being positioned in a high-stakes environment, lacked depth and motivation. This resulted in a narrative where it became increasingly challenging to root for or relate to them. Furthermore, their predictability detracted from any potential tension or surprise.

One of my main contentions is the seemingly random placement of contemporary references. While literature can be a powerful medium to address current events, their incorporation here felt inorganic and unnecessary. References to significant events like the tragic case of George Floyd were particularly jarring given their dissonance with the central plot.

In conclusion, while the premise promised an exciting journey of revenge, alliances, and high stakes, the delivery felt lackluster. Readers seeking a nuanced thriller might want to look elsewhere.

Thank you for the opportunity to preview Out To Get Me.
This is a really good book and although some parts were a bit over the top it still had me at the edge of my seat.
If you like a good heist book this one is for you. Great characters and plot make this a very good read.
And could be a sequel!

In order to save her husband from kidnappers, Toni has to stay alive while being pursued by a crazy killer in a Jeep Wrangler. This book is a fast paced and entertaining crime thriller that made me chuckle a few times. It was pretty ridiculous in a good way.
