Light It Up

4.5 stars, rounded up.There s this feeling I get when I m reading a series of books I like It s like hanging out with old friends it feels good to see them again and spend some time with them, and while the circumstances are always a little bit different, I know what to expect of them, and I like that Although Light it Up is only Nick Petrie s third book featuring awesomely badass drifter Peter Ash, I got that feeling when reading it Peter is one cool, complicated character that I find totally f [...]

This review can also be found at Carole s Random Life in Books.I enjoyed this book This book reads like an action movie in a lot of ways It was exciting and there are so many adrenaline filled scenes that keep the excitement level high This is the third book in the Peter Ash series but I do think that it could be read as a stand alone since it tells its own story I had such a good time reading this book and found it to be quite the page turner.Peter is such a great character I almost think that [...]

Peter Ash in this third book of the series once again seems to have gotten himself mixed up with some bad hombres while trying to help a friend The story was clever and original but there was just a little too much violence for my taste This is an action packed story with Peter fighting for his and his friends lives every moment While I enjoyed the second book, this book left me cold The story was good and well plotted and will have an appeal to many readers.This review was originally posted on [...]

The first book in this new, exciting, and fresh series The Drifter introduced Peter Ash, an ex military man who suffers greatly from post traumatic claustrophobia from tours in Iraq and Afghanistan A promotional blurb on the cover from Lee Child certainly didn t hurt either The second book Burning Bright continued Peter s attempt at re integrating himself into society, provided a tighter and intricate plot line, and introduced June Cassidy, a strong potential love interest Like those outings, t [...]

Well this one was exhausting.Thank you Netgalley, Penguin Group Putnam and Nick Petrie for the ARC.Do not ask me why I adore Nick Petrie s Peter Ash and Lee Child s Jack Reacher as much as I do I am a 60 plus year old female, sedentary, semi retired accountant who spends time reading instead of doing housework.d have the dirt, dog hair and dust all over the house to prove it My main problems for the past 30 something years have been lack of time and lack of closet space I ve learned to live wit [...]

Excellent yet again Peter Ash is a fantastic character and his cohort of regular accomplices are just as fun Another winning romp

Find in Chill and read Light it up is the third book in the Peter Ash Series and it is the first book in the series that I have read However, it was not difficult for me to understand the main character, the book atmosphere or follow the story.Peter Ash is a former Marin He is back in the States now, but he is suffering from PTSD, meaning that he has such a nasty claustrophobia, he cannot stay inside four walls for as much as than 20 minutes, without freaking out Therefore he stays in the wood [...]

Light It Up was an excellent addition to the Peter Ash series that was action packed with a thrilling plot that didn t let up from start to finish.Peter Ash has spent the past few months living a simple life rebuilding hiking trails in Oregon when his friend Henry asks him to come help him for a week in Denver Henry s daughter runs a security company that provides protection for the cash heavy cannabis industry and two of her men have gone missing leaving her in a bind While Peter is helping out [...]

I should have loved this book The content ticked all the right boxes for me I wanted to love it But I was left feeling kind of meh First, a strong positive The action scenes are great Nick Petrie gives a cinematic feel to the fight and chase scenes, so I could see this stuff playing out as I was reading Now my thoughts on the other stuffThe plot feels largely formulaic For me, it was like watching a train race down a straight track from a mile away I knew what was going to happen every step of t [...]

I ve enjoyed all 3 of this series but I think this one is my favorite Peter Ash is a unique character who s stubborn quirky, maybe likable than Jack Reacher The details in this book make for a fascinating storyline colorful characters round it up Thanks to the author for this signed early copy

Because I won a copy of Nick Petrie s LIGHT IT UP on , I went ahead and ordered the first two books in the Peter Ash series It was a risk What if I did not care for Petrie s writing I d be stuck with three books I didn t want to read That s what.Thankfully, that is not what happened In fact, quite the opposite occurred I am now, after having read all three books in the series, a huge Nick Petrie fan Huge I hate comparing one author to another to make a point, but if you are a fan of Lee Child s [...]

Light It Up is another thriller in the Peter Ash series I read the first book in the series, The Drifter , and decided to give this follow up a try I had a hard time becoming invested in the narrative, plot, and characters but it s most likely due to my state of mind than any deficit in the book.Peter is in Colorado and has made friends with a 70 year old ex marine named Henry Nygaard He may be 70 but he s fit than most men half his age Henry s daughter Ellie owns a security company that protec [...]

LIGHT IT UP 2018 Nick Petrie 1 2.This was the first thriller I ve read by Petrie unfortunately, it was the third book in his series featuring his hero Peter Ash The best way to describe Ash is to think of Lee Child s Reacher, and add a few quirks especially claustrophobia, a result of his wartime experiences I liked Mr Petrie s approach to plotting his novel There were no dull spots, and little filler You come to expect action at least on every other page Now knowing that there were two earlier [...]

I had the spectacular fortune to obtain an ARC the day before setting off on a vacation in the woods, and LIGHT IT UP was perfect company, with the only exceptions being that it made me neglect my family for long stretches of time and any vacation relaxation was immediately lost when I was plunged into the novel s first pages, riding shotgun on the tense, doomed cash run with Peter Ash From there, it s a breathless sprint to the brutal finish Along the way though, we re treated to welcome reunio [...]

This is the third Peter Ash book by Petrie All are energetic, violent novels that still manage to have a few quiet moments where the characters re examine their lives and the path that their decisions have taken them Often, such self examinations result in some weak justification of their actions But Ash often rejects such justifications and just accepts the way his life has been twisted by his military service in the big sandbox In the last two books he has been challenged by a woman he met The [...]
