Review: In the Crosshairs

In the Crosshairs by Jack Coughlin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Awesome!

I’m a big fan of the Kyle Swanson series and was left a little “bleh” after #9 Long Shot. I was very pleased with #10’s In The Crosshairs where we see our boy Gunny Swanson thrown back into some good ole action both close quarters and long range.
We find Kyle tasked with uncovering a CIA mole with ties to Mexican drug cartels. A great addition to the story is return of fellow sniper “Coasty” who after suffering a loss, begs to re-enter the TFT team. Along with Kyles old love interest Coasty, the giant O.O. Dawkins returns as well, and we also discover what the O.O stands for haha. There isn’t much that can be said about the plot without giving away the enjoyable redirects, it keeps a great pace and is packed with an array of emotional peaks. Jack Coughlin writes an ending that totally blind sided me and moved my interest in #11 book from Want to NEED. If you’re a fan of Gunny Swanson you’ll be sure to love In The Crosshairs. As a teaser lets just say these few points…

Swanson gets sweet revenge on a total A-Hole --- Excalibur sends one into someone’s center mass --- Coasty makes a Cartel giant beg for mercy --- A member of Congress is yet again reminded not to F#ck with the CIA. And most importantly, I guarantee the ending is the biggest shock of the series thus far.
