Out of the Shadows: Nick Seven Book 8 is a romantic thriller by Tim Smith. After resigning from the CIA, Nick Seven moved to the Florida Keys, where he ran a club. Nick stayed out of the public eye and enjoyed life with his lover and soul mate. Nick saw a woman being strangled in the background of a photo and went to the police. Without a body and with no evidence of a crime, the police had nothing to investigate. Nick jumped in himself to investigate the murder. Marco St. Julian showed up in the Florida Keys, and Nick was immediately wary. Marco was a French criminal, and Nick had had dealings with him in the past. Nothing could be written off as a coincidence where Marco was involved, especially not with a Cuban criminal in the area.
Out of the Shadows was exciting, and I was intrigued. The action began in the first chapter and never stopped. Tim Smith created an original and compelling plot, and it was executed effortlessly. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. I just kept reading and never knew what to expect. I could not put it down, as I did not want to miss anything. It is fast-paced and full of action, with an unexpected twist around every corner. The characters are well-defined and authentic. The romance between Nick and Felicia was refreshing amidst all the events and drama that unfolded. The characters were strong with compelling. The story was interesting, exciting, and well-written. The ending was brilliant and it could not have been better.
