Always a request when I see books from J. B. Turner come up and never disappointed!

I love the fast pace of the books about the Jon Resnick character. This book was just as fast paced and filled with amazing characters. I love. The fact that Lauren, his daughter, is such a big part of this one.

Such a fast paced and full of action book is my favorite and this one was off the charts. One that is filled with an emotionally emergizing plot with a phenomenal ending that you gets you every time. This series is cemented as one of my favorites ever.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I've read several J.B. Turner books and really like the fact they're all fast paced and easy to read. This one met my expectations. I highly recommend this book. .

Hard Shot
By J.B. Turner

5 stars.

The more of JB Turner’s books I read, the more I grow as a fan. The latest title ‘Hard Shot’ sees the return of Jon Reznick, FBI Consultant on a one man rampage against white supremist in New York city, as they gun down police officers.

What follows is a relentless fast-moving action story, that is near impossible to put down.

Turner’s easy to read style, coupled with fast paced action, engages the reader to continue to the dying pages. Reading familiar characters is a bonus, however the book can be read as a standalone title.

#HardShot #NetGalley

Jon Reznick is back, this time with his daughter playing a more important role. In chasing a white supremacist,, Reznick once again employs some unconventional methods and often alienates his bosses, but the moves, strategies, and outcomes all entertain the reader.

Rich on coincidence and poor on character development. Trades heavily on stereotypes and manipulation of the reader's emotions.

Reznick is back, this time him and his daughter are caught up in a mass shooting on their way to a game, most people run for cover Jon goes in pursuit to find the shooters. The shootings are part of something bigger and Jon is desperately trying to find the ring leader before more people are killed. We see more of his daughter in this book and hints she'll follow in her dad's footsteps. A great read

HARD. SHOT. by J.B..Turner
What would cause a group to attack cops and on the Fourth of July. Jon Reznick an FBI consultant goes against the white supremist and joined by his daughter. Finding the cult leader behind this and to stop the killings, giving us a fast paced story. I love his books, they are full of action, the characters are great. Thanks to the ARC from Net Galley and Amazon Publishers for my voluntary. review and my honest opinion.

I was very happy to see this book as an offering and was lucky enough to get it. As all of his books go, it is hard to put down and fast paced. This book starts innocently enough with John Reznick taking his daughter to a Yankees game as a sniper starts killing cops. Reznick is thrust into action getting to the bottom of the conspiracy which goes full bore until the last page. I hope he keeps this character going as the books are a lot of fun.
Thank you Netgalley, J. B. Turner, Amazon Publishing UK for the ARC for my honest review.

YES! Finally another installment featuring Jon Reznick. I like Jon as a main character and it seems like things are starting to take its toll and I think this latest book we see him try and take a step back (well at the end at least). This book is a typical high octane and action packed book that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Jon attends a ball game with is daughter when attackers start to take out police officers. Jon being Jon means he cannot leave it and as such becomes embroiled in this latest attack on US soil. Only this time it seems the attackers are closer to home. At 248 pages it isn't a particularly long read but certainly an entertaining one.

I really love the characters and am crossing my fingers that we get to see Jon make a few changes in his personal life in the next book. I could easily read these books over and over as they are fantastic and I admit I am a bit of a fan. I cannot wait to see what's next for Jon and highly recommend this series.

Another thrill ride with Jon Reznick! Jon is in New York, on July 4th, to attend a baseball game with his daughter Lauren. Shots ring out as they are heading towards the entrance and several police officers are shot. The crowd panics, but Jon sees the men leaving, pursues them and takes them down before they can kill anyone else. The group are seeking revenge for the choke hold killing of one of their group and the killings may have just begun. Other than FBI Assistant Director Martha Meyerstein, several other agencies are not happy with the way Jon takes care of business. When it seems that information is being leaked, Jon doesn’t know who he can trust. When his daughter is caught up in another attack, she proves that she is indeed Jon’s daughter. I love the Jon Reznick character, his honor and his “no holds barred” way he protects his country and the ones he loves. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

J.B. Turner does not disappoint. This is a fabulous story, well written, great plot and great characters. Would highly recommend to others.

In this seventh installation of the Jon Reznick series, J.B. Turner keeps the intensity as high as in the past six books, but he also adds more layers to Reznick as he needs to fight bad guys that are highly trained and willing to do unthinkable stuff when the price is right.
As always, the pace of the story is breathtakingly high, the plot is not super surprising and some of the coincidences of the story are just not that credible. This ends up costing the fifth star, but fans of the Reznick series will not be disappointed. Newcomers to the series should not join in here, due to the numerous references to past events and recurring characters where the background is useful for the proper enjoyment of the book.

A great quick read. I really like the suspense in this book and the descriptions of New York. It almost felt as if I was watching the action unfold.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

What Can I say except THANK YOU so much to Net Galley, the publishers and the author J B Turner for an ARC copy of this five star book, a great read.

Reznick will protect New York City or die trying.

When a group of homegrown attackers takes aim at cops outside a Fourth of July baseball game, black-ops specialist Jon Reznick and his daughter, Lauren, are caught in the cross fire. Jon hunts down two of the gunmen. But the last member of the group is at large and about to launch a fresh killing spree across the city. Cops are under fire, and Jon must stop this madman before more people are killed.

But Jon's renegade tactics and vigilante justice are starting to ruffle some feathers, and his friends in high places might not be able to help him anymore. With leaks inside the FBI and resistance from the NYPD, Reznick doesn't know whom to trust.

He knows one thing: he won't watch the city he loves be torn apart, especially not with his daughter in the crosshairs. But can he get to her in time?

That is the question?

I cannot give this book less than five stars, when I read a book and cannot wait to get back to it, when I cannot stop reading because it is "so good".

If a book has a great main character, action from this first chapter, well paced and action packed through the whole book, gripping, tense, realistic, with added tension due to the story and Reznick and his boss and their relationship.

His daughter , a tough cookie, Jon tough as nails but a great honest , tough character his boss torn between loyalty and rules.

This book has everything with some great touches at the end. Loved this book.

July 4th in NYC - festivities planned for the holiday, including a Yankee's game. Jon and his daughter are standing in line when 2 snipers open fire on NYPD. Will Jon be able to stop them from killing more officers?
Fast paced suspense thriller. Moved along, quick read.

Joe Reznick is everywhere. He's everyman! Author J.B. Turner has created an interesting and well-paced story about bad guys in New York. The Aryan Brotherhood and MS-13 have really vicious attitudes and are downright frightening. But, so are drug-addicted federal agents who lie and cheat to advance their cause. Match the two groups up and get some really dirty pool.
What's not to like about this novel is the author's almost childish determination to get his lead character at the center of everything It's really implausible that of three major incidents, he's right in the middle of all of them. In a fourth incident, he's quite nearby, which is not as implausible as the position his daughter is in. Hundreds of thousands of people are in midtown Manhattan for the July Fourth fireworks, and the bad guy here picks Resnick's daughter out of all of them. Buy me a lottery ticket! That silliness really destroys the story, at least for me. The epilogue adds nothing to the story.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC.

Lots of action, fast and easy read with great characters and plot. This is not a literary masterpiece, but it delivers what it says it will, and it's also a little deeper this time.

Having read the previous books in the series, I was really looking forward to this next installment. JB Turner did not let me down.

The action flows through, well described and realistic; the father/daughter relationship adds to the characters and improves the narrative.

Fully recommended.

I have really enjoyed the last Jon Reznick books and this one is just as good. It revolves around a series of terror attacks on police in New York. Fast paced and enjoyable read.

Fast paced action adventure thriller.
Former Black Ops man Jon Reznick while battling his own issues helps the FBI against the clock to foil white supremist domestic terror attacks and he has added worry of his college age daughter being caught up in the chaos.

First in the series I've read and I'll definitely be looking out for the other books in this series.

In this seventh in the Jon Reznick series, Hard Shot (Thomas and Mercer 2019), Jon Reznick tries to take a brief vacation from work to take his daughter to a July 4th baseball game in New York City and ends up in the middle of a terrorist attack as a sniper picks off police outside of the ball park. Reznick bundles his daughter into a cab with instructions to return to their hotel and chases down the two snipers, killing both. After managing to convince the police that he wasn't involved, merely lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and smart enough to act quickly, he becomes part of a small FBI team that is tracking down the killers, how they knew what they shouldn't, and how to stop them.

I've read all of the Jon Reznick series. While this one seems a little slower than the frantic never-quit pace of the others, maybe more analytical of the process and thoughts of the characters, it is a good read. I like the hints at a love interest for Jon, something we haven't seen before. Overall, it is well worth the time in excitement and entertainment.

Another heart-pounding fast-paced race following the main character from the author. A quick and same plot-driven story that i enjoyed immensely and I'm looking forward to more.

Book Review: Hard Shot (Jon Reznick #7) by J. B. Turner
(Published by Amazon Publishing UK and Thomas & Mercer)

"...Don't give me any nondisclosure agreement bullshit!"

That's Jon Reznick of Maine, former black ops assassin and working for the FBI on classified investigations. He gets the job done. He never was a guy for flowery language. Neither does he have much use for rules, which he often flouts. Especially when the stakes are high, as in when the life of his one and only precious daughter is on the line. Or when American freedom is in the balance. And that renegade attitude is what gets him in trouble, occasionally.

And this is where FBI Assistant Director Martha Meyerstein usually steps in. To chew him out. Or bail him out, if she's being nice about it.

What I find most enjoyable about the author's Jon Reznick series is the no-nonsense delivery of high-octane action flowing seamlessly from one scene to the next with nary a dull moment. Each story is character driven and relies on creativity with little use for political correctness. J.B. Turner keeps it real. Jon Reznick bleeds and gets hit. He's no superhero.

Lives are lost a day of vengeance, and New York City is in a panic.

It is the Fourth of July. Reznick and Lucy are at Yankee Stadium to celebrate Independence Day with tickets to America's favorite pastime.

Then all hell breaks loose. Shots are fired, cops are down and Reznick shifts into high gear on his feet and barrels into action. Lives are at stake and for the guy, there are no ifs, buts or ors to bat arond within his conscience.

A loose alliance of hoodlums cum drug mules and Mara Salvatrucha, or the so-called MS-13 are on a bloodthirsty hunt to avenge the death of one of their own in the hands of law enforcement.

And, it appears, treacherous elements from within law enforcement are on their side.

Reznick, Meyerstein and team must watch their backs and put an end to the massacre at the risk of their own lives.

I can see one small weakness in the tale: hoodlums cannot be trained snipers in a flash, particularly from long distance on a beach and even within NYC city blocks. No such thing as one shot, one kill with those O'Keefe lowlifes.

But, nothing diminished in entertainment value. Excellent light reading - on the intense side!

Review based on an Advance Reading Copy from Amazon Publishing UK and Thomas & Mercer through NetGalley.

Jon Resnic is visiting his daughter Lauren in New York Cityand takes her to a Yankee game. As they arrive, snipers Travis and Ryan O’Keefe begin shooting policemen from a roof across the street. Jon gets Lauren a cab and begins running after the snipers..He grabs the motorcycle from a man and follows the men downtown where he manages to shoot and kill both.

The police arrive, take Jon to the police station and give him a hard time, until Myerstein rescues him. Resnic interviews the older brother of the snipers who tells Jon he had warned the FBI about his brothers desire to revenge the death of their stepfather. The youngest brother Todd is still intent on killing more police.

Todd goes on a police killing rampage in New York City, including the Attorney
General. Meanwhile Jon is desperately trying to find Lauren, as well as Todd. Can he find her before Todd does? The end is VERY exciting!

Great book!

An excellent story that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Definitely recommended to those readers who enjoy reading this type of detective/crime thriller.

The first three books in this series about Jon Reznick made me fan of the author, the next two made me hesitate a bit, and with this book, I'm beginning to return to the fan fold.
These books are hectic, action-packed and not totally realistic, but I'm entertained, so what...
The book starts with a sniper shooting event at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and the events rapidly unfold from there. Reznick, a former Delta operator, now working with the FBI as a consultant of some sort is present from the get-go and so is his daughter. The latter frustrated me to no end with her series of knuckle-headed decisions and frustratingly stubborn behavior, but that was part of driving the events.
Bottom-line, not my favorite book in the series and also not the worst either, and I was entertained...

J B Turner's Hard Shot sees Jon Reznick enjoying a baseball match on the 4th of July when his world is once again turned upside down.

What follows is an action packed and fast paced book that never stops. I read it in a day!!

Definitely recommended

Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read this volume in advance of publication. I have read all the volumes in this series and love the character of Jon Reznick. Best saved for a cold winter's day when there is nothing better than to curl up with a great book !

Hard Shot is the seventh book in the Jon Reznick series about a tough-as-nails former Delta operative and CIA Assassin who works with the FBI on off-the-books operations. It’s fairly short but is a complete story. I have read all of this series in order but I don’t think it’s essential to as each adventure stands alone.
These are well-written action-packed gun-toting testosterone romps where the outcome is never in doubt, and I confess I rather enjoy them!

It’s the 4th of July and Jon is taking his daughter, Lauren, a student who is working New York for the summer, to a baseball game, when two gunmen open fire, targeting principally police officers. Shoving Lauren into a cab for safety, Jon commandeers a motorbike and hunts down the killers, but then further attacks, coordinated from inside prison by a White Supremacist terrorist gang, take place around the city. Hindered as much as helped by his maverick reputation with the FBI, how will Jon stop the psychotic cop-killer?

While Jon’s fate was never really in doubt, this was most exciting when other characters were in danger. The plot relied rather too much on coincidence which felt a little lazy, but I really liked the ending and epilogue. Some sections are told from the baddies’ POV but even so they were rather caricaturishly evil.
Not all plot threads and character arcs were tied up, so I suspect some may be back, presumably for revenge. Jon’s amphetamine addiction is finally addressed, and hopefully he’s in for some happiness, before the inevitable next attack on his family...

My thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing for the ARC which allowed me to give an honest review. Hard Shot is published on 12th December.

One heck of a ride from start to finish. Genuine “can’t put down” sort of book that you don’t try to anticipate, you just follow.

Thank you Netgalley, the publisher Amazon publishing UK and J. B. Turner.
I really enjoy the Jon Reznik series and every time I see a book on Netgalley I request it.
Fast paced, lots of twist and turns. I usually read the books in 2 days, I just cannot put it down.
Thank you again J. B. Turner for another great instalment.
Recommend 4 stars

John Reznick, a black ops specialist decides to take his daughter Lauren to a Fourth of July baseball game in New York City. On arrival at the game John sees three men shooting at the NYPD cops and the crowd. John kills two of the gunmen but one gets away. John sends Laurel straight home and he follows the last gunman. This evil man plans a killing spree in the city. John has contacts in both the FBI and NYPD but they don’t always agree with his methods. To make matters worse John can’t get in touch with Lauren, but he has to get this man off the streets of the city. Very fast moving, I literally could not put this book down.

Non stop action as soon as the story begins. True to the previous books, this one delivers all the action and intrigue. The story is interested and action intensive. I highly recommend the author and the series.

Non stop action from page 1 on. JB Turner's Jon Reznick usually finds himself in the middle of a battle, even when he's just going to a ball game. A terrorist group is attacking NYCPD to cripple the city. But, they didn't plan on Jon. The tension builds as the city defends itself and Jon brings the fight to them. A really good, exciting story that could easily happen in today's large cities. Plan on reading through the rest of your day, you will definitely not want to set this down.

This is definitely one of my favs from this series. Jon is back at it again, chasing down the bad guys and taking them out! And let’s not forget to mention his defiant daughter, that thinks she’s invisible. I must admit, her attitude has a lot to be desired and makes my head want to spin around, but luckily for her, I’m not her parent!

Anyway.. great book, and I’m so glad I had the ability to review it.

I love JB Turner's novels; you have to know what you're getting into (high drama, unlikely scenarios) but if you can look past some of the ridiculous and non-possible plot twists, these reads are super fun. I love spy novels and I love a great hero, even if he's unlikely. John Resnick is no-nonsense and always keeps you on your toes. He's smart, intuitive, caring, but also a total badass. Overall, this was another great installment to a really fun series.

Jon Reznick and his daughter, Lauren are waiting to watch the Yankees play on the 4th of July when two gunmen open fire on the police outside the stadium. Jon sees the shooters come out of the building and goes after them. He kills both of them. Two brothers who seem to be linked to a man who died in custody three months ago. Now Jon has involved himself hoping that Lauren will stay safe. Jon is out to save the day with his kind of justice, Great story line and fast paced.

How have I missed the John Reznick series?! I must have been hiding under a rock, seriously, I loved this book and can’t believe there are others I’ve clearly missed!

This is a great book, really fast-paced with plenty of places where you hold your breath before the next turn!

Jon Reznick loves his daughter more than anything else and wants to protect her, though like a lot of children she doesn’t want to listen and follow his instructions! Jon, an FBI consultant just on the edge of the rules, likes to take risks to ensure his job is completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.

A really good plot that keeps your interest throughout and is full of action, a great page-turner that was really easy to read. I read this as a stand-alone title but will be reading more of JB Turner's books, especially those featuring Jon Reznick!

Jon Reznik is back, but this time the thrilling adventures evolve his daughter. Loving her the way he does, hell bent on keeping her safe, Jon is already working just inside what is considered legal. How far he'll go to ensure his child's safety makes for one thrilling riding.

This is the 7th book in the Jon Reznick and unfortunately I haven't read all of the previous 6 yet. This book does however read nicely as a standalone, and will thrill the reader to no end. Its recommended for anyone who loves a great read!
