My Review
The Taste of Fear is an amazing adventure that spans LA to the Congo. The vivid imagery was fantastic, you can clearly picture what the characters are seeing and feeling. The adventures and thrills are mixed perfectly with the imagery of the story so that one does not take away from the other. There’s a lot of heart stopping moments in this book that kept me reading “just one more page” late into the night. Terrorists, rebels and kidnapping mixed with wild animal attacks will leave you unable to catch your breath when you read this. A roller coaster ride of epic proportions that gets a big 5 stars from me!
