David James Warren’s newest installment in The True Lies of Rembrandt Stone releases tomorrow, and it’s fantastic! Here’s what Blood From a Stone is all about:
He fled the future with blood on his hands. Now, he’ll do anything to stop a killer.
Tragedy has yet again taken from Detective Rembrandt Stone everything he loves. Now, he has one last chance to get things right and stop a killer he’s been hunting across four timelines. Instead, he gets tangled in a petty crime that just might cost him his one chance at justice.
With two murders to stop, and thirty-eight lives still in the balance, Rembrandt must play his hand against time just right if he wants to win his future. Play it wrong and his life will stay shattered beyond repair.
What sacrifices will he have to make to come home to his wife and daughter?
The stakes have never been higher in the heart-wrenching, edge-of-your-seat fifth story of the True Lies of Rembrandt Stone.
The stakes have never been higher. With future kills to stop and the murderer of 38 others on the loose, can Rembrandt Stone catch the killer before the death toll rises – again? What will he have to give up personally to end this chase and reclaim his family?
I absolutely loved this new installment in the Rembrandt Stone saga! It can’t get any more heart-rending; with Stone reeling from a new death and more determined than ever to repair his family, how could a small, simple crime get in his way?
The trio of authors are masters at keeping you on the edge of your seat. I couldn’t put Blood From a Stone down and finished it in a single sitting! Really, though, this is the kind of book that will have you speeding through the pages and then ready to throw the book down in anguish because you’re not ready for it to be over – but, no, you have to find out! I was thrilled to find a sneak peak at the next book in the back because waiting for more Rembrandt Stone just isn’t an option.
Five books in, there have now been five versions of Rembrandt’s life, and honestly, it can get a bit tricky remembering which storylines fit together. The authors sneak in great clues, though, that put it all together for you if you’re stuck, and I love how seamlessly they make these work. It’s satisfying to see certain elements of his life improve over the first version, while others have gotten increasingly worse. Rembrandt Stone is understanding himself and the consequences of his choices more and more as he jumps through time, and that only makes you cheer for him louder. His newfound respect for honor and others are building him into a truly swoon-worthy hero, both inside and out.
That’s part of what makes this series so great. Rembrandt Stone is the kind of character you want on your side. He’s the one you want to call if something goes wrong and the one you want beside you if your boat sinks. He’s a caring and compassionate fixer, someone who can see through the shades of gray to the truth underneath. He cares about people and justice and wants right to win out.
David James Warren is merciless, though, and they’re not making Stone’s journey easy. He’s becoming a better man, but the situation around him keep getting worse. Can he catch the murderer and end the killing spree? Is Stone going to find a way back to his family? Or, when the stakes rise, will he lose his own sense of right and wrong? You need to add Blood From a Stone to your TBR list and find out.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the authors. All opinions are mine.
