I wanted to like this book. It is a faith based book. However, i could not get into it. It was choppy. The ideas didn't flow smoothly and details would pop up in the middle without any type of warning. For example an addiction. It follows this character without any whisper of addiction, then bam! He has a problem. I think the premise is good, but it needs some fixing.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bradley Cornish and prodigious Publishing for the opportunity to read this book.

I loved that this was a faith-based novel. It's truly what reeled me in to read it. However, parts seem redundant and drawn out. I feel like this would've been amazing if it wasn't so repetitive and probably could've been a wonderful book in 350-400 pages. It was intriguing to see Damon's character and everything play out in real time. I was shocked by some of the turns and twists this book had, but many seemed expected. I loved the beginning. It really hooks you into the story. But midway through, I felt bored and had no true surprises until the ending. It was a decent read overall. I highly suggest you try this for yourself, as just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work well for you.

I received this book from NetGalley to read/review. All of the statements above are my true opinions after fully reading this book.

Side note: While my rating doesn't factor in the formating/grammatical issues with the symbols, I do want to make a point of this. As it made it very difficult to read. So many words on every page had a symbol in it and missing letters, so you just had to guess the word.

I was hoping for a good story in this book I enjoy reading Christian thrillers and trying to solve the case before the end. However, this one contained too much graphic language for me to enjoy. It did not add any value to the story, so there was not need for it to be in there.

Looking beyond that, the premise was good, but it seemed to be slow to develop. The plot was full of elements, but that made it hard for me to keep track of who was what. I did find many of the characters to be easy to imagine. Their descriptions made them relatable as far as picture how they looked and acted.

I wanted this book to be one I could read again in the future, but I had trouble getting through it this time.

I received a free ARC of the book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Second Chance Killer had an interesting premise, but it didn’t quite deliver. The story started off promising, but the pacing quickly slowed down, making it hard to stay invested. While there were a few moments of suspense, they were overshadowed by underdeveloped characters and repetitive plot points. I was also disappointed by the crude language and unnecessary sexual descriptions of female bodies, which felt out of place and detracted from the overall experience. Some plot twists were predictable, while others felt forced. The writing felt uneven at times, making it difficult to fully immerse in the story. Overall, it had potential, but the content and execution left me underwhelmed.

I tried reading this book because it was different from my normal reads. I got about 15 percent in and realized I could no longer read the story because of the special ch!arct$rs that were thrown in there. I understand that the ARCs are unedited and that they are trying to prevent piracy, but for someone who tries to really get into the story, it turns you off. I may try this book again once it is out and read it a different way. There will be no review posted anywhere, but on NetGalley.

Ended up reading a different way. Such a thriller of a book! The plot was fast paced and the characters were enjoyable to follow.

Thank you for this ARC.
Second Chance Killer is a thrilling mystery-mystery story set on Jekyll Island, Georgia, focusing on themes like suicide and depression. The story's emotional depth is inspiring, but the secularism and inclusiveness may be unfit for a Christian book.

The idea and post had me interested in the book, but after a while it became hard to read the book as some of the ideas were just repetitive. The writing style too me was a bit lacking and even thought it was an uncorrected ARC, there was just too many errors that made reading it hard.

The story is quite different from your normal Christian thriller or dystopian novel and the first two parts were intriguing, but the third part was somewhat over the top, the bad guys too bad, the political innuendos too simplistic.
Interesting new story, but the writing style is disappointing.
I'm aware that my copy was just an ARC and not the final text, but typos and grammatical errors were quite distracting.
I hope there will be quite some good editing and proofreading that will make the story smoother and about a third shorter.

I knew this was a faith based thriller going in so that didn't surprise me but just how long and repetitive it was did. It started out strong and had me hooked, then about halfway or so it lost me. There was way too much going on and it got confusing. I managed to finish it and I am glad it had a happy ending. Damon seemed like a nice guy. My rating is for the story and all the formatting mess did not factor in at all though it did make the book harder to read. Maybe I will look for the audiobook and give it a chance.

Thank you netgalley for giving me a copy of the book. This is my honest voluntary review.

This is a faith-based thriller. Damon is accused of murder while sleeping walking. He relies on his faith to help prove his innocents. This was quite my cup of tea, but I think readers looking for the faith-based story will really like it.

Thank you NetGalley and Prodigious Publishing for this advance copy.

I would like to thank you for giving me a ark of this book first of all. I struggled getting into this book a lot but I did kind of enjoy it. There was a lot of spelling errors and I also feel like the story was dragged on. I think this would be a better book if it was around 300-350 pages instead of over 600. I liked this book but it definitely could of have been better.

I’m sorry to say that I could not get into this book at all. The characters were annoying and the plot was not enthralling at all.

Initially I struggled to get into the story but once I'd pushed through it was a gripping story. Such inspiration to remember that God always cares and never leaves us, even when it appears that way.

This was a different kind of thriller to what I’d usually read but I thought I’d give it a go anyway. In my opinion this was just ok and I didn’t feel myself desperate to read on at any point. It was fairly fast paced at first which I enjoyed however towards the end I felt it slowed down and there were certain parts that I felt a little bored and just ready to finish the book.

As this was an ARC I expected the writing to not be perfect and finalised, however there were a lot of spelling errors and special characters in replace of letters which I think made it more difficult to get into and a much harder read.

I personally wouldn’t recommend this book to my friends/family, however if a thriller with a more religious focus is something that appeals to you then I’d say it’s worth a read!

Thank you NetGalley for sending me an ARC for this book.

Damon Faulkner is a delivery driver that ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is delivering a package to a house when he hears a woman's screams. Not knowing what to do, he decides to invesrtigate. He breaks into the house and finds the woman dead on the ground.

I could not get into this book. I think the main reason was all the random special characters in place of letters. Like, it be be O$cer or random exclamation pints. I know that ARCS are undedited copies, but i just could not get throught it.

I think that when this book comes out, I will give it a nother chance, I love murder mysteries, and this book seems like it has a great premise.

Thank you again to NetGalley for givng me a copy of this arc.

An ordinary delivery truck guy stops to help a woman in distress, and ends up as her only murder suspect. A user of alcohol and drugs and Ambien, Damon is accused of murdering the woman while in a sleepwalking. State. Despite having no memory of the crime, but does remember his attempt to help someone in danger, Damon now fights for his life against a seasoned detective determined to close his one-hundredth career case. And he doesn’t care if Damon is guilty or not guilty.,

Now Damon sits in a filthy prison cell with little way to prove his innocence and reveal the truth. Damon discovers faith in Christ from the influence of fellow inmates and the regular church service he reluctantly agrees to attend.

The first half of this very long book, is a faith based thriller with many well placed scripture references as It explores guilt and redemption. For me, the second half slowed way down went off in the deep end. I struggled to finish but I wanted to find out what was going to happen to Damon who after receiving Christ, asks to go by his middle name David.

It seemed the book needed to go through another edit before being published.

Note: this book has a lot of characters to when a new name is introduced get it registered in your mind,

If this is an already published book, why are there so many spelling errors? It's to the point I can't read it anymore, and I'm not that far into it.

Maybe I can get into another time. But this is not the time.
